Note: While this is Book 2 in the series, it works just fine as a stand alone novel. Raylene is an expert thief and a wayward vampire. Her fixer Horace has an unusual job for her. He needs these rare yet odd relics stolen and he offers her a big financial incentive to take on the job. However, someo...
Chuck Dutton built Music City Salvage with patience and expertise, stripping historic properties and reselling their bones. Inventory is running low, so he's thrilled when Augusta Withrow appears in his office offering salvage rights to her entire property. This could be a gold mine, so he assigns h...
Series: Borden Dispatches #1 The concept for this book sounded interesting, at least the way I read it: Lizzie Borden murdered her parents in a kind of self-defence because they had been infected by a strange affliction. It was disappointing, however. Mainly because it tried a faux-epistolary form...
Shout out to the other bingo player who mentioned this book. This is pretty good. It is actually a cut above some of Priest's other work, not that Priest's other work is bad. It isn't. But this is better than the later Clockwork Century books. The novel concerns what "really" happened during ...
What did I just read? I sort of liked this book. I love historical fiction & the setting of this one, 1890's Massachusetts, was pleasing. I enjoyed the epistolary format as well, with the different voices of the various characters. But, on the other hand, I don't really get it. Maybe because I'v...
This book in the series reads more as a young adult genre book as the main characters except for one Indian Princess are young adult ages. Rector has finally been kicked out of the orphanage he grew up in but was using as a place to lay his head while he dealt and used the drug "sap". Sap will actua...
The Withrow house—over 100 years old, abandoned for decades—is supposed to save Music City Salvage. It’s got marble fireplaces, extensive chestnut walls and flooring, and stained glass windows. It’s a goldmine for vintage and reclaimed construction. The owner of Music City Salvage buys full rights t...
Cheshire Red is a vampire and an acquisitions expert (thief). Raylene likes that many people assume Cheshire Red is a man and she’s not about to dissuade them, enjoying working in the shadows as she does. Ian, another vampire who is oddly blind, has hired her to track down his medical records from h...
A book I enjoyed, but needs two caveats. First, not sure about the audio book version. There are sections of comic book pages strewn throughout this. Which means a listener will miss both the art and any narrative elements carried by that art. Second, this is marketed as YA and I'm not at all c...
I wanted to like this steampunky-themed book of short-stories, but it tried too hard at cleverness and told essentially uninteresting stories. The text does not deliver on what the fascinating illustrations promise. I gave it 78 pages, 18 beyond my minimum 50, and gave it up.
