Note: While this is Book 2 in the series, it reads just fine as a stand alone. Set roughly 30 years after the events that take place in Book 1 (Maplecroft), Lisbeth Borden is finding retirement lonely and boring. She orders books and papers, adopts feral cats, and keeps up an on going letter to her ...

AudiobookI was listening to this book thinking as I was going along, "Oooh, that's the guy she ends up with, oh wait nope." Then, "No, I was wrong, this is the guy she ends up with." Nope, this is not a romance book at all unlike the first one and I didn't mind. I loved, loved, loved the ending. Can...

A fabulous YA novel about friendship not romance. This was a one-sitting, massive-grin-of-happiness-for-having-discovered-this-story read. Okay, where to start with the gushing. First off, you've got these two kids Libby and May exiled out of gym class who start making up stories together and so a b...

I ended up really liking this - it is a combination of book + some graphic panels. I have it in ebook, but would really recommend that it be purchased as a print book because of the format. It doesn't show up well on my kindle paperwhite - the print doesn't enlarge, and it is very tiny, and the comi...

This tied in strangely to my other Halloween reads this year: it included both the regularly shifting POVs of The House and the heavy historical horror setting The Witching Hour did so well. (As a matter of fact, if I had to pick a runner up for the Anne Rice 'obsessed with historical time and place...

Raylene continued to have her sarcastic humor in this one. There was less Pepper and Domino. I'd say less Ian too, but he is central to the plot in this one, even if he didn't have much page-time. More Adrian though. He was definitely Raylene's competent sidekick which I liked to see. Good story and...

Well, really well drawn characters looking for a little better plot, would be a description.It's not a bad book, and I love Priest's zombies (though they are not traditional zombies). Quite frankly, any book that gives Mary Todd Lincoln a gun is great. I love how Priest draws her here. The Grants ar...

If you loved Maplecroft, odds are good you will like this. If you hated Maplecroft, odds are good you won't like this. Years have passed since the events that brought Simon Wolf into contact with Lizzie Andrews. He's continued to be a professional investigator of the odd. She's continued to pursue...

(I really should stop reading other people’s reviews before writing my own. In this case, I noticed that nearly every reviewer who began with something like “I received an ARC of this minus the artwork” gave it a depressingly low score. Well, DUH. The artwork is an integral part of the story; unlike...

Though there's one novella following Fiddlehead, this novel brings to a close the events that Priest began with Boneshaker. What began inauspiciously has far exceeded my expectations. As I mentioned in my review of the first book, I'm not a fan of steampunk, but if this series is what steampunk is, ...
