Cedar was cursed as a werewolf. He is tasked with finding a missing little boy. What sounded fairly simple, was a lot to unpack due to the multiple points of views this book had. There's (of course) Cedar, but add Mae (a witch), Rose, Jeb, The Madder Brothers (Alun, Bryn, Cadoc), Shard Lefel, Mr Shu...

Either I'm not in the mood for this or the awful villain is a complete turn off - I can't figure out which. I'm setting this aside for now

I read one of the reviews about this book and remeber someone saying that it felt like Cedar wasn't really the main character. No I didn't let that stop me from reading the book. Now having read it through I must agree with them. At points in the book it felt like cedar was being left out of it. ...

3.5 starsI have never been a fan of Western/Historical genre ... and truthfully, I need FOUR times to start reading this one. The first three attempts, I put it down before it even reached 15% on my Kindle. I should've admit defeat by 2nd attempt but I kept coming back because I love Devon Monk's ot...

This book had been on my TBR list for ages, but I couldn't afford it.So when I discovered that the library had it, I downloaded it. I didn't know until I had started reading it how much I needed to read a book without any romance. The book hooked me from the start. I am not sure what I feel in lo...

That was different. Matics, Witches, and Weres, oh my!I like steampunk. I’m always fascinated by the creativity and usefulness of all those wacky steam powered contraptions and gadgets. I’m not too keen on Westerns. I usually don’t seek out that genre, unless there is a sexy cowboy involved. But I d...

3.5 StarsI believe this my first steampunk novel. This book was really interesting, and has a cast of characters that I found to be very fresh and intriguing. The story involves Cedar Hunt in a race against Strange, and evil, creatures as well as matics for an item that can cause destruction to an...

This one has all the right elements for an entertaining read, but it just didn't do it for me. Part of it was that Monk never developed her world very much so the steampunk western bits felt superficial. The main part of it though is that I just couldn't get into the author's reading style. I would ...

Dead Iron falls into the category of paranormal steampunk. I really looked forward to this book when I saw that it was chosen as the book of the month by one of my Goodreads reading groups; however, that excitement quickly turned to dust, and I found myself looking for anything to do other than rea...
