The Great Destroyer
The Great Destroyer rated it 12 years ago
We were not good people.Trickster should be turned into a movie, and Tom Hiddleston should play Lem.I really liked this book. At first I thought I will end up DNFing it because the start was rather strange, and I thought it wouldn’t be my kind of book. But after a while, as I read on, I started to c...

Holy hell, I love this book. Love the idea behind it, the fight against eternity and a religion that wants to consume every part of you. Willingly or not. Avery Cates is not a sympathetic character. He's a killer for hire, the man least likely to perform heroics, a cheat and a survivor. But he's a l...

I didn't finish this one. The writing was pretty good, but I stopped after three chapters when I realized that though we had already encountered a TON of characters, only four of them were female and they were, respectively: a naked dead girl in a bathtub, a hungover bartender who doesn't even get a...

I know I don't read a lot of regular Urban Fantasy (as opposed to Paranormal Romance or even Urban Fantasy with strong romantic themes), but I'm so glad I decided to pick this one up.I loved the world Mr. Somers hsa created, and his perfectly IMperfect characters, and I WILL be reading any sequels t...

I really had to drag myself through the book. A pity because the book does have some strengths and positives to it. On the positive side, the dystopia it describes is actually pretty good. The concept of the Electric Church and the monks is definitely a pretty good, original idea. But that is about ...

Not a bad collection, but not the best one I've read. I liked about half the stories, found most of the rest just 'ok' and completely disliked one. Still, there are a few here that I'll probably re-read again in the future when I'm looking for a quick Supernatural fix.

I've only read 3 stories - the Charlaine Harris, which is the one I got the book out of the library for, and 2 others that seemed well recommended by other reviewers. I found the sheer number of stories in this book quite daunting, and therefore didn't really bother dipping into any others at all. I...

Boy this book was so long! I kept wishing it would end so I could move on to another book. These long anthologies are not a good idea. I averaged my ratings and it came to 3.2 stars, which I'll call 3 stars for simplicity's sake. :) Overall the book was pretty good, some really great stories, s...

Wow, what a ride! In the interest of full disclosure, I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway. Secondly, this book is the third book in the Avery Cates series. So, in essence, I was kind of dropped into this world. At first I was confused. I did not understand why this world was the way it was. Anot...
