Series: Gone with the Respiration #1 I wasn’t expecting much from this book, and although there were a few interesting bits, it mostly didn’t deliver much of anything other than a fine squick factor. I think I didn’t remember what the description actually said when I decided to read it. I consider...

"Familiar Things" is one of the best self-published books I have read in a long time. The plot was well-paced, and Habel's take on witches was refreshingly original and interesting. I particularly enjoyed the time difference between the magical and regular worlds and the explanation that is given. T...

I am giddy over this new book by Lia Habel. I've always wanted to be magical, live in a wonderous, enchanted world AND have an animal familiar! Even if it is a Gunea Pig, which is both intelligent and cute!!! I could find nothing wrong with this book! I went on adventures with wildeors, witches and ...

Cross-posted on Soapboxing "She would of been a good woman," The Misfit said, "if it had been somebody there to shoot her every minute of her life." Now, I admit my upbringing was in some ways unorthodox (and in other ways completely not), but this was a favorite aphorism of my mother's. It c...

Closer to 3.5. As many other reviewers have stated, there are WAY too many POVs. I also thought the ending was confusing. But the worldbuilding (including why these people in the future have adopted Victorian ways of life, which no one in steampunk novels seems to think about) and interesting concep...

My kids will say that I speak zombie blasphemy but it must be said: I liked Dearly, Departed more than my favorite tv show The Walking Dead! There, I said it, whew. I loved this book. What's not to love really? There's zombies, steampunk, victorian, it's futuristic, romantic ect, ect. I swear I high...

Liked the romance (actually, LOVED it!) and the characters are the best! The worldbuilding is pretty epic too, but it was a bit slow and confusing. I ended up skimming a few pages. Sigh.

Wow, that went south in a hurry. There are some books that should never be sequels, and this one is a good example. The plot is basically "Dearly, Departed goes on". There is no significant movement. Several more viewpoint characters are added and while they do have some good points, most of them so...
