| Seriously, I don't know what to make of these Kitty Norville books anymore. Like the last installment, Kitty Steals the Show, nothing much happened in this book to advance the central conflict of the series - the opposition against Roman (a.k.a. Dux...more | |

| This was the first book in the Finishing School series, a new one that was meant for the YA readership. The story was set in the same world as that of the Parasol Protectorate series, so it was not unfamiliar to those of us who were already acquainte...more | |

This book was a compilation of YA short stories with post-apocalyptic themes. For full disclosure upfront, I didn't read all the stories, but only selected a few for which the authors' names I recognized. So my review would only be based on ones that...more |

This was an immensely entertaining read. A deserving 4-star rating! As book #2 in the Night Prince series, the novel took place right after the end of the last installment, Once Burned. Leila came to the realization that she had fallen in love with V...more |

If you're reading my review, please beware that it will contain certain spoilers. If you're a great fan of the Infernal Devices series, you might want to stop now, because while I didn't entirely dislike this book, I might have something unkind to sa...more |

| I have to admit that I actually was looking forward to this second book of the Darklight series by Darynda Jones, who also authored the Charley Davidson series. However, about midway through the book, I realized that this just wasn't up to par to my...more | |
“Since I didn't have a candy wrapper to help me with the bad connection I was about to have, I resorted to using vocal sound effects. When Agent Carson picked up, I started my performance. "Agent... Agent Carson," I said, panting into the phone.
"Yes, Charley." She seemed unimpressed, but I wasn't about to stop now.
"I--I know who the kshshshshshsh are."
"I'm a little busy right now, Davidson. What is a Ksh, and why do I care?"
"I'm sorry. My kshshsh... is kshshsh... ing."
I repeat. What is a Ksh? And why do I care if it is ksh-ing?"
She was a tough one. I knew I should have waited and bought a Butterfinger at the Jug-N-Chug. Those wrappers crakled like Rice Krispies on a Saturday morning. "You aren't listeni--kshshsh."
"You're really bad at this."
"Bank ro-ksh-ers. I know who they kshshsh."
"Charley, if you don't cut this crap out."
I hung up and turned off my phone before she could figure out what I was trying not to tell her and call back.”

“Thwart," I said. "To prevent someone from accomplishing something by means of visiting gratuitous violence upon his smarmy person."
"I'm pretty sure that isn't the definition." Sarissa said.
"It is today.”

“Molly blinked, then looked at Thomas and said, "Wait a minute.... We're his flunkies."
"You, may be," Thomas said, sneering. "I'm his thug. I'm way higher than a flunky."
"You are high if you think I'm taking any orders from you," Molly said tartly.”
