Audio- 3.7 stars. This second book in the series was better than the first. There was more of a mystery, more action and more focus. I still don't care the the narrator. The third book I bought in print.Jace is still human, still in this alternate universe and still trying to solve a case to get ho...
One Book Away From an Episode of Hoarders
(As spoiler-free as possible)It was much the same as the first in the series as far as pacing and humor goes. Jace has really begun to find her niche in her new world, although there are still times that she feels overwhelmed. She says she wants to go home but I don't believe it. Maybe I'm just p...

Plot summary ... Since this is for personal reason -- so I can remember -- I put it under spoiler tag.Jace and Charlie, her golem partner, is investigating murders that seems to be taking inspiration from comic books. In the alternate world, comic is forbidden. After a man named Fredric Wertham took...

3.5 stars, but I thought I'd round up.Things I enjoyed:- Jace and Charlie's relationship; by far my favorite part in the books thus far.- I like the idea of alt universes and how nearly each person in the thrope/pire world has a doppelganger in Jace's world.- I like the comic aspect, I thought it wa...

This one worked for me in a way book one didn't. Jace isn't as angry, she's not overtly being held hostage, and the relationships she started in book one really start to gel. Her banter with Charlie in particular was fantastic, and the twist with Dr. Pete was both unexpected and titillating.

I did not finish this book. I may come back to it when I'm in a different mood but I just couldn't get into it. Barant is an imaginative author and I appreciate her twist on world building. However, this book just made me feel like I was tangled up in threads while trying to pursue the story line....

I didn't like this one as much as the first book. I felt like there was too much going on and the plot was confusing. I'm not versed in comic books, so I had to learn not only about certain comic book characters, but also various iterations of those same characters, the difference between periods in...

I had fun reading this one. COmics play a big part in this mystery. As always, I'm more enamored of Jace's partner, the Fedora wearing, T-Rex inhabited Golem, than Jace. Jace is a fun character (although very acerbic), and I like the other inhabitants of this reality. The banter is good and the paci...
