Cat Among the Pigeons Review

The second of Cat Royal’s adventures is a bit heavier than the previous fare as Pedro’s former master returns to force him back on the Jaimacan plantation or worse.

The Diamond of Drury Lane Review

Since finishing the Bloody Jack series, I have gone onto another series efaturing a spunky British redhead brought up from the streets of London, navigating the two worlds between the London slums and high society. Set in 1790, a whole decade before Bloody Jack, the series is a more a light mystery than the historical…

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…

Ranking A:TLA comics

The Search: As I’m sure many would agree, The Search put the Gaang on an adventure many longed to see in finding out whatever happened to Ursa? Well, I heartily enjoyed it. Not only for answering this question but giving deeper insight to the dysfunction of the Fire Nation Royal Marriage as well as its…

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…
