June Reads

Ill Wind – Rachel Caine “…fresh ideas no one else seems to be writing about…melding physics with metaphysics to create the ultimate urban fantasy read.” Buy

The Séance – Heather Graham

Countdown – Michelle Maddox “…that very rare kind of book: a thriller that is genuinely thrilling. This is action-packed, non-stop adventure, combining the physiological, psychological and technological in a story that grabbed me immediately and didn’t let go.” Buy

Third Degree – Greg Iles “Greg Iles is a fantastic thriller writer, with complex characterisations, interesting information, and thought-provoking scenarios…An engrossing read set in the timeframe of just one day, Third Degree should not disappointment fans, and will hopefully bring in new readers.” Buy

Sliver of Truth – Lisa Unger: The author’s Beautiful Lies was an interesting novel of a life built on lies. However, this companion novel takes things too far. The FBI, CIA, going from America to the UK, involving the Albanian mafia…it just seemed over the top, and thus didn’t engage me as a reader.

Bound to Love Her – Esri Rose “…social commentary involving the environment and real estate…this novel has something to say – which a lot of stories don’t…Fans of Tate Hallaway’s novels should enjoy this.” Buy

Midnight Brunch at Casa Dracula – Marta Acosta “Mil is sparky, with a sense of adventure, humour and – most importantly – an affable personality…the Casa Dracula series is more than just another vampire tale…plenty of social commentary, with a smart but not toffy intelligence.” Buy

The Action Heroine’s Handbook – Jennifer Worick & Joe Borgenicht

Blood Price – Tanya Huff “Originally published in 1991, Blood Price holds up well 17 years later…the novel has an important role in the history of urban fantasy in fiction.” Buy

Oh My Goth – Gena Showalter “…interesting enough to read it in basically one sitting.” Buy

Red Handed – Gena Showalter “…focuses on what’s dearly missing in teen fiction…and showcases fabulous world-building that I can’t wait to read more about.” Buy

Blacklisted – Gena Showalter “For fabulous world-building, how power corrupts, and thoughtful issues, look no further than Blacklisted for a novel with surprising depth.” Buy

You can still check lists of stuff published in June or will be published in July. And if you want to look further into the future, see my Reading Wishlist.

Thanks for voting in my poll, and keep ’em coming.

The 10 Books I Read in November

Regular readers will notice that 10 books is a rather low number for me. But keep in mind that this doesn’t include the books that I started but didn’t finish for one reason or another. Also, as the weather gets warmer, I tend to behave like my cat – collapse on the couch and do nothing: he naps, I watch nothing-in-particular on telly 😉

Robert Muchamore, CHERUB: Divine Madness I love this series, and this particular novel takes place in England, Hong Kong and a large chunk in Australia – yes, my country. The author (English, I presume) did quite well with the dialect, except one of the little kids asks for a pacifier – we actually call them dummies (the pacifiers, not the kids).

Kate Wilhelm, The Price of Silence

Gabrielle Lord, Shattered A minor subplot makes reference to a reality show in which woman compete to marry to a European nobleman. Unfortunately, that show was real: Australian Princess lasted one or two seasons.

Allison DuBois, Don’t Kiss Them Good-bye
Lemony Snicket, A Series of Unfortunate Events #7: The Vile Village

Lisa Unger, Beautiful Lies I’ve tried two books under the author’s maiden name, Lisa Miscione, but I just couldn’t connect with them. But this one, under her married name, is terrific. Here’s hoping I can get my hands on Sliver of Truth soon!

Kathryn Fox, Without Consent Reviews keep mentioning the author in the same sentence as Patricia Cornwell and Kathy Reichs. But those two authors’ protags work with the dead. Forensic physician Dr Anya Crichton, Fox’s creation, works with the alive: sexual assault victims. Really, these novels are more like Linda Fairstein’s, so it’s not surprising that Fairstein has blurbed this book. If you read too many US/UK books (and even if you don’t), try this Australian author.

Curtis Sittenfeld, The Man of My Dreams

Cassandra Clare, City of Bones Incest alert!

Kate Wilhelm, A Wrongful Death It’s mentioned that Alex has a ‘disfiguring birth defect’, but it’s not described, which is annoying because I couldn’t imagine the character very well.
