Originally posted at WickedLilPixie ReviewsAnyone who follows me on Twitter or has seen my previous reviews knows what a huge fan of Ann Aguirre I am. Her “Jax” series is one of my alltime favorites, and I love her writing as Ava Gray. So, it is understandable that my expectations for Blue Diablo, t...
I've enjoyed Ann Aguirre's Sirantha Jax series and her Ava Grey Skin series for differring reasons. So I went into this wanting to love Blue Diablo, but it's not quite there for me. I didn't really feel the attraction between the main characters. It's all on paper, but not making the connection for ...
I liked this book. I would have given it another star, maybe even 2 if I wasn't so put off by the bitter, whining, unkind, cowardly behaviour of the main character towards her former lover. Really, it grated on me severely. I debated not finishing a few times but the storytelling was good enough to...
Corine lives above the pawnshop she owns in Mexico city. She doesn't stay places long, having to stay on the move and knowing she should be on the move again. But she likes living here and her ability with the nicknack's helps in this business. She finds it's peaceful here for her and she likes t...
I really love that Blue Diablo starts off in Mexico. Of course, I would've preferred the entire novel to be set there, but I'm greedy ;-) Seriously, non-US locations seem few and far between in urban fantasy, so Mexico is most welcome. And even the parts set in America are fresh and memorable becaus...
2.75 stars. This is hard for me to review. I like the world aguirre created. The characters were interesting. Her writing about living in Mexico and then living on the border was realistic. I enjoyed the mixture in of Mexican culture. But I wasn't engaged in the story and I was bored during the la...
This was a very interesting and unique foray into the world of magic noir, or noir occult detective fantasy fiction. Corine Solomon is a fairly conflicted, and troubled character. Her mother was a practicing witch who was essentially burned to death by the suspicious and intolerant townspeople in ...
Corine is a handler which means that she can touch an item and know it's history but using her gift comes at a high price. She has been living in Mexico City for the last 18 months trying to hide from her ex-boyfriend Chance and the life they had together. Although they used to help people with her ...
I remember this one as being so different from what I had been reading, and was pretty easy to get into.There is a lot of angst in this one - unresolved romantic tension, a painful psychic power, kidnapped loved ones, and so on.As I recall, the mystery wasn't that great - the MC isn't an investigato...
It took me awhile to get into the flow of this book, but by the end I realized I really enjoyed it. I ended up liking the supporting characters more than the main two. I'm really not rooting for Corine and Chance like I'd like to be, I was way more interesting in Corine and Jesse. That said I would ...
