Review: Angel of the Overpass – Seanan McGuire

May 10, 2021 Leave a Comment

Angel of the Overpass

Content warnings: This is the third book in this urban legend-inspired ode to the road, and this book shouldn’t be read without reading the previous books. If you’re like me and are behind on the InCryptid series, this also contains major spoilers for the eighth book (That Ain’t Witchcraft). “Rose Marshall, called the Phantom PromRead the Post

Review: A Killing Frost – Seanan McGuire

A Killing Frost

Look, there’s a reason this has a super short blurb and an ominous title. The easiest non-spoilery way to review this book is just to say OMG WHAT WHAT WHAT YES WAIT TOBY NO WHAT OMG and leave it at that. If you’re looking for something a little more useful, read on. “We carry ourselvesRead the Post

Review: The Unkindest Tide – Seanan McGuire

The Unkindest Tide

Content warnings: For some people, the beginning of September means pumpkin spice lattes, the smell of freshly sharpened pencils, and an end to summer. For me, it means a new October Daye book. I’ve been reading this series since the very first book and, finally, at lucky number 13, we get the book I’ve beenRead the Post

Review: Night and Silence – Seanan McGuire

Night and Silence

I’ve been following October Daye’s adventures from the very first book, and now twelve books in, I can only say that this series just keeps getting better.  I will admit that when I read the blurb, I was a bit put-off – Gillian’s been kidnapped again?  Toby’s (non-) relationship with her estranged daughter has beenRead the Post

Tricks for Free

If you’ve asked me to recommend a book to you before, you have probably had to live through me squeeing and fangirling over Seanan McGuire before.  So, I was initially acquainted with her when Rosemary and Rue, the first October Daye book, came out, uh, a very long time ago, and while I’ve kept upRead the Post

Review: Robots vs. Fairies anthology

January 7, 2018 Leave a Comment

Robots vs Fairies

Rather than a bunch of stories pitting the title characters against each other, most of the stories are either Team Fairy or Team Robot.  I haven’t read most of these authors before, and since I usually read anthologies to find new authors, I’m pretty pleased with the large selection of authors.  Here’s a few quickRead the Post

Review: The Brightest Fell – Seanan McGuire

September 15, 2017 Leave a Comment

The Brightest Fell cover

I adore Labor Day weekend for several reasons.  First, it’s a day off work (and school!).  Second, it’s the weekend of the Disneyland Half Marathon.  Third, it means a new Seanan McGuire October Day novel is coming out!  And this book, oh this book… It’s really hard to review this while staying spoiler-free, but thisRead the Post
