Synopsis: Harry Dresden, Chicago’s only professional wizard, is about to have a very bad day….Because as Winter Knight to the Queen of Air and Darkness, Harry never knows what the scheming Mab might want him to do. Usually, it’s something awful. Mab has just traded Harry’s skills to pay off one of her debts. And now he must help a group of supernatural villains—led by one of Harry’s most dreaded and…
So I’ve been marathoning the Dresden files for the past few months which explains while I’ve been keeping it light on reviews. As soon as I finished Cold Days (which was completely awesome and I certainly understand why it won Goodreads Choice Awards last year), I came home to this on my doorstep: So I’ve had to push just a bit more! It’s also a tree book which I haven’t…
Alright! So I am really tackling my 2014 TO-DO goals. I’ve started several series listed so far, but at this point I’m making the most progress with the Dresden files! Lucky me that my library has all of the ebooks available! So far I’ve read through the first four and have started the 5th one. I think I’m making really good progress. It’s the first series of the 2014 bunch…
Review: Being a goddess is a lot less fun than you might think. Especially when you’re only a half goddess, and you only found out about it recently, and you still don’t know what you’re doing half the time. And when you’ve just used your not-so-reliable powers to burglarize the booby-trapped office of a vampire mob boss. Yeah, that part sucks. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg for…
And there’s a synopsis too! “Being a goddess is a lot less fun than you might think.

Usually by book 3 I’m able to determine whether or not I love a series. Well, I’m now fully into the world of Alex Craft and while good, I still don’t feel as invested in the long haul. There are some interesting developments in Nekros City; a string of suicides leaves Alex with many questions and few answers as she investigates these occurrences. The shades of these bodies all possess…
Business is picking up a little more for Alex Craft as this time it is up to her to solve a peculiar string of murders…or so we assume. Instead of bodies turning up police are merely finding body parts, namely the left feet of several people. This makes it particularly difficult for Alex who cannot raise a shade without a body (I’m thinking a head and torso would suffice). This…
Sometimes when you’ve read a fantastic book it can be a hard act to follow, so perhaps that why I wasn’t immediately pulled into this book. Grave Witch is the start of the Alex Craft series by Kalayna Price. Alex is a low rent “Magic eye” (a derogatory term for a witch private investigator), but her abilities are anything but. She can to speak to the dead—even to the point…
Thanks for your input, everyone! This poll confirms that my indecision was clearly justified. It really was a tight race! I’ll start with Dorina (which I am enjoying quite a bit already), and then it”ll just be a toss up from there. I am so excited!!
I’m going to do a quick poll this weekend because I am conflicted as to which novel I want to start this coming Monday, though I may leave it ongoing to decide which series should follow. Hopefully you guys can help me out! Keep in mind that I typically like to read books in a series back to back, so the longer the series, the longer it will take for…
