For quite awhile, it bothered me that I wasn't enjoying this book. So many people loved it that I decided it must be that I don't much care for the paranormal in my reading. Finally, though it's definitely true that I could have easily lived without the yucky descriptions of people with their visc...
I loved pretty much every moment of this book, and it's not even my preferred genre. The opening sentence alone enticed me to purchase it. "Dear you, the body you are wearing used to be mine." I just had to read it and know what it was about. Any struggling indie authors out there, this is how yo...
~~Moved from GR~~ The Rook (The Checquy Files #1) by Daniel O'Malley Recommended to Carly by: the fact that it made the extremely competitive "favorites" shelves of several reviewers I follow. Recommended for: fans of Fforde/ Adams/ Pratchett/ Banks/ Stross/ generally absurd UF Post-traumati...

Shows a lot of potential but I found it too easy to put it down.In a Jason Bourne meets Torchwood meets urban fantasy-esque scenario, a woman wakes up in a London Park, dripping wet, badly bruised but alive, unlike the corpses surround...
I listened to this book because it was the July 2013 book of the month for the Fantasy Book Club. Parts of this book were laugh-out-loud funny, but other parts of it just set my teeth on edge. Too many infodumps and a bit too much profanity. I can easily see this novel as a British television se...
I had great difficulty getting into this novel. I loved the concept but the first 200 pages were B.O.R.I.N.G.! The letters are a neat way to get around the amnesia thing but they are very disruptive to the flow of the story and Mr. O'Malley went a little nuts with these "Dear You" letters. They're ...
