One day I will try to write something about how utterly perplexed I am that vampire stories seem to be home for the creepiest rapey abusive behaviors. The intrigue is good thus far I guess, apart from some strange situations that do stretch my willingness to quell my disbelief. Still, I cannot take ...

In the first book in her spellcrackers.com series Suzanne McLeod introduces the readers to Genny who has the ability to find magic and dismantle it but unable to create it herself: Genny Taylor works for a witch company spellcrackers.com, which is great as it means that the Vampires leave her alon...

An interesting urban fantasy world. As a UK resident I've been wanting more UK based urban fantasy but books set in London tend to annoy me - there are lots of others places in the UK to write about!! Yes I know London capital and most well known, but whatever. OK, mini rant over, this one managed ...

It took me a bit to get in to this book, but once I did, I couldn't put it down. The world building is very very involved, and there are a lot of characters that are introduced.

What the hell was all that about? It's been a while since I got soooo confused about a book. There were passages in this book that indicated you should already know certain things - only to explain those things later in the story. And parts of it that really didn't make any sense to me.Genny is s...

I do love Urban Fantasy and this book was also refreshing because of the simple fact that it was set in London.Now I feel that I can't give justice to how good the book was. The good ones are always the hardest to write about.To the story then. Genny is a Fae in a world where supernaturals walk amon...

Extraordinary attention to detail! If I knew how to draw, I could totally draw all of the characters, plus all of the houses, parks, streets and offices as well. Very well written, with a lot of suspense, a little romance, some big-time scary vampires, and a huge betrayal. I loved this book, and ...

Maybe 3.5, I do plan on continuing with the series, I think the next one may be better now that we have the world-building done. Hopefully the series can continue without all of the info-dumps.
