The beginning of this thrilling story immediately pulls me. Unlike most books this one starts immediately with the conflict. The main character has lost her memory, and woke up surrounded by dead bodies with latex gloves on. This electrifying page turner takes place in modern day Great Britain. But ...
I finished The Rook by Daniel O’Malley last night and I fell in love or really strong like- I haven’t decided which yet. I had been hunting for this book for awhile (in a previous post, I mentioned how I went to 4 Barnes & Noble stores and 3 Half Price Books to locate a copy of this title) and final...
On Her Majesty's Supernatural Secret Service is the tagline for this first novel from Daniel O'Malley and that's exactly what it is. What a fun read this was! This was a guts buy from the get go. I saw it in a list of first books on a book blog, I think and was intrigued by the blurb so I added ...
I WANT IT KNOWN THAT I STARTED THIS BOOK THINKING THAT THERE WERE TWO MORE BOOKS IN THIS SERIES AND I FELT DEEPLY AND PERSONALLY BETRAYED TO FIND OUT THAT I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL JANUARY FOR THE *NEXT* BOOK TO COME OUT.Loved this book. Author totally made the epistolary infodumping work in a way ...
Brilliant! Both clever and creative. I was swept up into this world, and while I can understand how some readers found all the information imparted a little over whelming, personally, I loved it.This is an urban fantasy - and let's be very clear, there is no romance in this book. We start our stor...

Well the beginning is very intriguing and had me turning the pages. However it became a less compelling read when the info dumps in the form o...
Myfanwy Thomas erwacht inmitten eines Parks, der Regen prasselt unbarmherzig auf sie nieder, sie hat Prellungen und Verletzungen am ganzen Körper … und keine Ahnung wer sie eigentlich ist oder weshalb ein Ring toter Menschen mit Latexhandschuhen bekleidet um sie herum liegt. Um eine frische Amnesie ...
There is a decent concept buried under all the terrible, choppy writing and flat character execution but it wasn't enough to get me to read after the 25% mark.
imagine a world in which x-men-style mutants exist, but no one knows they exist except for the government. and instead of trying to eradicate these mutants (which would be foolish, right?), the government recruits them to secretly fight other baddies and goulies of the supernatural like werewolves, ...
This is ridiculous, she thought. I’m possessed of terrifying powers. Why am I relying on a ridiculous little gun that I picked because I thought it was cute? I don’t need this thing. She threw it contemptuously over her shoulder. There’s something foul wandering the underground tunnels beneath my o...
