The Devil and His Fury || Kingdom of the Feared Review

The Devil and His Fury || Kingdom of the Feared Review

Initial Thoughts I hate to say this, because as a whole I did enjoy this trilogy, but my gawd I could have done without half the subplots in this book. Where Kingdom of the Cursed minimized the plot movement to a point of stagnation until the end, Kingdom of the Feared decided to throw everything [...]

Mini Reviews: A Dowry of Blood, The Radium Girls

I think this is the mini review that took me out of my usual faire, so while I didn't love these books, I appreciated having read them anyway. A Dowry of Blood came onto my radar because of the FairyLoot edition, and not gonna lie, that special edition is GORGEOUS. To be fair, I hadn't [...]

The Maiden and the Guard || From Blood and Ash Review

The Maiden and the Guard || From Blood and Ash Review

Initial Thoughts So I probably enjoyed this much more than I thought I would, especially when I found out it was practically a vampire/werewolf book (which, when you put it THAT WAY, I'm not heavily opposed to). But it was a HIGH FANTASY ROMANCE. Other than Amanda Bouchet, I haven't read those in a while, [...]

The Court of Vampires || The Beautiful Review

The Court of Vampires || The Beautiful Review

Initial Thoughts: Hnggghhhh I am conflicted with this book. I loved Ahdieh's Wrath and the Dawn duology and I will stan those two books until the day I die. Or become a djinni. Whichever is first. But this book has me inwardly crying of agony on top of intrigue. I wanted MORE vampires, less werewolves [...]

A Weaving In Smoke || Smoke Bitten Review

July 28, 2020July 20, 2020by MariLeave a Comment on A Weaving In Smoke || Smoke Bitten Review
A Weaving In Smoke || Smoke Bitten Review

Initial Thoughts: I am well aware that my bias towards this series is the main reason I continue to five-star any Mercy Thompson book, but many other things worked in this book's favor. One: Two fairy tales were invoked which made me really happy. Two: Lots of sex. I'm not even joking. SMOKE BITTEN by [...]

Mari-with-an-I prefers her fantasies drenched in oil and fried up in faerie, but when that’s not the case, she’ll read it anyway. She likes writing what she reads, and likes baking while she writes. She’s written a few things for anthologies, including an anthology that got translated into Czech (I know, right?! Eeeeee!), and if you haven’t read them yet, she urges you to do so! Who knows, there might be a few cookies waiting for you at the end of the read.

…Or not. (Blast her pet steampoctopus for eating them all!)
