Woe, it's been a while since I've had a Reading Wednesday post.

What I've read: I thought I had already made a post about reading Meljean Brook's Guardian Demon, but apparently not! Anyway, I'm hoping to write this one up in more detail. Like many of the other books in the Guardian series, I don't completely buy the romance and the plot doesn't ( Read more... )

OMG I read stuff! I suspect this is largely because I am out of playable content on Here Be Monsters and have run out of suitably addicting puzzles on my phone.

What I've read: I finished the new Cecilia Grant, A Woman Entangled, and even managed to write it up. Overall, it has a lot of the things I've been liking about Grant's books so far: lack ( Read more... )

What I've read: I finished Alison Bechdel's Fun Home after seeing her at a City Arts & Lectures event.

Savitri Murray found out about Guardians and demons and all that fun stuff in Demon Angel, and she also met irresistibly handsome and vain vampire Colin Ames-Beaumont. Plot ensues, some of it involving demons and nosferatu and vampires and Chaos and almost all of it completely incomprehensible. And I even have my plot brain back! So for once, I don ( Read more... )

Sorry for spamming! And yes, guess who has a paper due tomorrow?

Alice Grey is a Guardian with her soul on the line: either she must kill Michael, head of the Guardians, and present his heart to a demon, or else she'll be damned for eternity. Finding a way out of the bargain involves a lot of archaeological investigation, more history of the Guardians and Heaven and Hell, and the help of novice Guardian Jake ( Read more... )

Lilith and Hugh have been battling over human souls for centuries as demon and Guardian (a cross between angel and human), though neither are allowed to interfere with human will. But after eight hundred years of trying to save people, Hugh grow bitter, decides to fall and finally kill Lilith ( Read more... )
