• Loki: Where Mischief Lies Review

  Since I enjoyed Lee’s Gamora and Nebula novel, I decided to check out the first of Marvel Icons. Luckily, I know a little about what Loki does in the MCU since The Avengers is the only MCU movie I’ve seen but that doesn’t matter as this is an origin story where we take a fun…

• Gamora and Nebula: Sisters in Arms Review

  I know, I know I have said I am not much of a Marvel fan but I enjoyed Lee’s nonfiction works and I have a passing knowledge of Guardians of the Galaxy due to my roommate watching them. With basic knowledge of the characters, I felt like this book would be a easy intro since…

• Prince of Song and Sea Review

  I was super excited to read this book, I mean if that gorgeous cover (by Brittany Jackson btw) wasn’t enough, the promise of whole line of books telling the movies from the POV from the Disney Princes was a big attention-grabber. The princes are important as many have pointed out that they often the save…

• Wild Rover No More Review

  We have come to the end of the line as Meyer presents the last adventure of the cork-like Jacky Faber. But will her fate end at the gallows as she so direly predicted back when she was a young street urchin in London?

• Boston Jacky Review

  Jacky is back in her beloved Beantown and while she does not burn the place down as she did in her first stay, she still brings about plenty of trouble. She is “ever so hard on her friends,” as well as one Jaimy Fletcher but we’ll get to that.

• Viva Jacquelina! Review

  The inodimatble Jacky Faber is back, blackmailed by the British Intelligence into a new mission where she is sent over the hills and far away to the plains in Spain to be exact. . . And Portugal but that doesn’t fit the rhyme. Anyway, being Jacky her mission to spy on the French as they…

• The Lunar Chronicles: Fairest Review

  Meyer does it again with this prequel to her popular Lunar Chronicles series. Fairest is technically a prequel as it sets up events years before Cinder but it was released between Cress and Winter. But since it’s such a stand-alone you can read it before, after or in between. The main point is to give…
