Yep Mary.

Review:
This was a fun book! I like quirky and snarky and Maggie fits the bill. Throw in a smoking hot elf and you got yourself a crime fighting duo of epic proportions lol. While the humor was a little forced at times I did find myself chuckling while reading. These are good books when you're in the mood for a quick, silly, but still kicking a$$ book. Can't wait to see what trouble Maggie gets into :)

[Mary X]

edit never mind. Keeping my original book. I can save the next one for witches or UF if needed. I need a Y name for another challenge.

Review:

This was a reread for me and was just as good as the first time reading it. I almost made it three stars because of Carl and Meg but in the end Kitty stands up to them and takes care of her own. I remembered a lot of this one but there were things that I did not as well I am going to reread the second one that one I don't remember at all and continue on I am excited to read more of this series. Hopefully more Cormic as well.

[Jenne]

I've read the first 2 Kitty books and I wasn't sold. Kitty got on my nerves with how submissive she is.

[Raquel (Rocki)]

Yea that is what I am afraid of if I remember the first two books correctly but I am hoping to continue on and hope it gets better.

[Mary X]

I finished Witchling but I'm too tired to write a review. Had a very active day today. Going to bed early.

[Mary X]

Wow no posts for 2 days. What's up with that?




Creature Feature
4/18/15
3 1/2 stars.

I liked this book a lot. The every man wants Camille thing got a little old. I also prefer my characters a little more monogamous but since this is an Urban Fantasy and not a romance that wasn't a deal breaker for me. Narrator could have been better at male voices. Especially since the author didn't always denote who was speaking. Also the voices for some of the bad guys and Smokey the Dragon came off a little too kids cartoon-ish for me. But I liked it enough to read the next one right away for another group challenge.

[Jenne]

Work has been killer this week :(

[Raquel (Rocki)]

me too Jenne just started a new job in tulsa where i just moved to so been super busy.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

I completely forgot to check for the new shelf last night.

Not sure what I am going to read. I have to see what male author books work with my letters for the Wheel-A-thon.

[Mary X]

OK picked something:

[Thenia]

Shelf #9 ~ 15 Apr 2015: Creature Feature

The Cold Kiss of Death - Suzanne McLeod - ★★★★ (4/25/2015)

Review:

A very complicated story, full of action and twists.

Genny is in a lot of trouble and running for her life from many different sides, as almost everybody seems to want a piece of her. Human police, fae curses, vampire politics, magical repercussions, ambitious witches and ghosts are some of the items in Genny's list of problems to be solved, and she doesn't know who to trust, as everyone has their own agenda.

Interesting story that continues in the next book in the series, The Bitter Seed of Magic.

[Thenia]

Congrats team ~ our Creature Feature stamp is on the way!

[Raquel (Rocki)]

awesome!

[Jenne]

WTG Devils!

I'm 1/2 done with Harry, hopefully will be finished tomorrow.

Shelf #10 ~ 22 Apr 2015: Man's World

Summer Knight - Jim Butcher - ★★★★ (4/25/2015)

Review:

Whoever said that these books start getting good after #3, well, they were right!

Full of action, Harry's irreverent, snarky sense of humor at the most inappropriate times and an impossible situation that he has to get himself out of, this audiobook was a delight to listen to, especially with James Marsters' masterful narration.

I am still not a fan of the fae, who play a significant role in this part of Harry's story, but it was interesting solving the mystery alongside him. (view spoiler)[I also liked that the evil mastermind was not, predictably, one of the Winter court, but the well liked, seemingly good Lady of the Summer court. (hide spoiler)]

Harry has started letting people in his life bit by bit, with first the werewolves and then Murphy tagging along with him and having his back.

I look forward to seeing how things progress for him in Death Masks next.

[Jenne]

has been my favorite so far! Provided I'm reading #10 right now though.

Are you reading or listening?

[Thenia]

Listening - James Marsters is great as Harry Dresden!

[Jenne]

It's the only way to go with this series :)

[Mary X]

The Dresden Files is my favorite series. I might have to start listening to them again to get my fix before the next book comes out.

[Jenne]

I've forced myself to not binge on them so I always have them to fall back on when I'm in the mood lol.

Review:
Another fantastic installment to The Dresden Files! Quite a bit happens in this one too. It seemed to set up some future things with some of our consistent players throughout the series. And yay Toot Toot had a brief cameo in this book! Marsters' narration of Toot Toot fractures me every time. Harry really stepped up to the plate (not that he never doesn't) and really put his life on the line in this book. Poor Harry is just a trouble magnet and not the oh bad things always happen to me kind of trouble either....life and death kind of trouble. Needless to say I'm very excited to read Turn Coat now. Spoiler for the end(view spoiler)[ I sure hope Michael will be ok. He's always been one of my favorites! (hide spoiler)]
