• Cat’s Cradle Review

  After all the world-travelling Cat has been doing, she’s glad to be back home in good ol’ England even if the sight of Drury Lane in rubble still hurts. Better yet, she has finally cured Billy of his affections for her (a months long ship voyage and rambling carriage rides in close quarters can do…

• Den of Thieves Review

  I must say Cat Royal’s adventures get more interesting as they progress as this tale of identity and revolution may be my favorite so far.

• 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…

  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…
