I'm not sure quite what it is about Raymond Chandler that makes him so awesome. On the surface, this is pretty much standard hard-boiled or noire detective fiction. But, Chandler's protagonist, Philip Marlowe, has a strong personality that grows on one. Yeah, he's rather flippant and even coarse, bu...

This was fun to read, but I had to make many concessions. Apart from the issues I've already mentioned in the previous two books, the characters seem flat and two-dimensional. I know it's one of the characteristics of the genre, but I'm afraid it gets old very soon. Eventually you start wanting some...

Oh, man, this series.... What took me SO LONG to read this series? It's quite possibly one of the best series I've read this year. Keep it and you will have a fan for life!

Magic Strikes is a really fun ride, an urban fantasy crossed with a tournament anime. Kate continues to be completely awesome, her friends are doing their own things - even when it's not the smartest - and we get to set it all against the backdrop of an underground fighting tournament where losers a...

This is just a shortie review. I listened to this while I was on vacation so I had to write down my review. Needless to say it was very short... This was awesome. So much action. I loved finding out Kate origins. So, amazing. Curran and Kate’s sexual tension is driving me crazy. I almost g...

***This is just a review solely on my experience with the audiobook as I love and highly recommend the book. The book itself is actually 5 stars worthy.***** While I love the book, the audiobook was sometimes uncomfortable to listen to, because at times the narrator would give robotic sounding voi...
