ARC Book Review: Witch Hunter by Virginia Boecker
I’ve lost all enthusiasm for this book at 14% through. I don’t like how Elizabeth is painted to be with wonderful witch hunter because she just keeps screwing up. And I understand it’s not her fault, it’s the plot conspiring against her so we feel sympathy, but I really can’t suspend my disbelief enough to […]
Project Tomorrow: The Night is for Hunting
Our teen heroes are forced to evacuate Stratton with a bunch of feral orphan children when the soldiers get too close. Upon returning to Hell, the children decide to abandon the teens, who now feel responsible for them. After being rescued, they then celebrate Christmas. The plot doesn’t sound that interesting, but it really is. […]
Arc Review: Siren’s Fury by Mary Weber
DNF at 39% I hate to do this because I absolutely LOVED Storm Siren and even pre-ordered Siren’s Fury in hardcover because I was so sure I was going to love it, but I have to DNF. I’ve been reading this book for two and a half weeks and I’ve only reached between one-third and […]
Project Tomorrow: Burning For Revenge
After their failure to do anything successful in the last book, our intrepid teens decide it’s time to go out and fuck up the war effort some more. Completely by accident they find themselves inside the very airfield the missing Kiwi soldiers were planning to attack. Surrounded by enemies, will our heroes make it out […]
ARC Book Review: A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J Maas
SUMMARY A Court of Thorns and Roses is a lush, highly imaginative and somewhat original fairie story inspired by East of the Sun and West of the Moon (which is one of my favourites) and Tam-Lin. Some say it’s also inspired by Beauty and the Beast but since East of the Sun and West of […]
Project Tomorrow: Darkness, Be My Friend
We can’t all be winners all the time. That’s the theme of this book. Sure, in the past, things have gone wrong. Plans have gone awry. People have been killed. But the main objective was always achieved. Wirrawee Bridge. The officer’s houses. Cobbler’s Bay. Not in this book. This book is all about failure. Small […]
Project Tomorrow: The Third Day, The Frost
The Third Day, The Frost, also known in the US as A Killing Frost, is set six months into the war, and our kids are tired. Exhaustion is a constant companion, but they can’t rest for long. They know their freedom will only last so long and they are determined to fight for their country. […]
Book Review: Unwanted by Amanda Holohan
Once upon a time there was a badass warrior who had been trained her whole life to protect her walled city from outside invaders. She passed her test and was about to graduate when she did something really really stupid that caught the attention of the rebels. Or course, this made her super special, and […]
Project Tomorrow: The Dead of Night
Our poor heroes aren’t so plucky and full of bravado anymore, not since Corrie was shot in the back and Kevin took her to the hospital. But the gang decide they can’t sit around forever: they need more supplies for living in Hell, and they want to see if Corrie’s OK, and they need to […]
