Book Review: The Trouble With Trying to Love a Hellion (Murder Sprees & Mute Decrees #3) by Jennifer Cody

Read my reviews of previous books in the Murder Sprees & Mute Decrees series: The Trouble With Trying to Date a Murderer (#1) | The Trouble With Trying to Save an Assassin (#2) The previous narrator of this series is so vibrant that Cody takes a risk with this departure, especially since Edovard is vastly different fromContinue reading “Book Review: The Trouble With Trying to Love a Hellion (Murder Sprees & Mute Decrees #3) by Jennifer Cody”

A Year in Reading: 2022

Every year, Goodreads invites me to its annual reading challenge with a helpfully suggested goal of 12 books. Every year, I bump that goal up to 50, because I figure that’s always doable unless the apocalypse occurs. In the last few years, I’ve more than blown that number out of the water. Here’s my finalContinue reading “A Year in Reading: 2022”

Book Review: Shah Mat (Shattered Pawns #4) by Jennifer Cody

Read my reviews of the previous books set in this series/world: Diviner’s Game series | Shattered Pawns series Some books are easy to review, no matter the genre. These things happened, the characters were like this, and this is how I felt about it. Some books, on the other hand, are the culmination of halfContinue reading “Book Review: Shah Mat (Shattered Pawns #4) by Jennifer Cody”

Book Review: Shattered Pawns Series by Jennifer Cody

This post includes reviews of the following books in the Shattered Pawns series: Pass (Shattered Pawns #1) I fell in such love with this fascinating urban fantasy world that I devoured this trilogy soon after finishing the first one, Diviner’s Game.

This post includes reviews of the books in the Diviner’s Game series: Bishop to Knight One (Diviner’s Game #1) When I tried to read an earlier edition of this book, I didn’t get very far.

Book Review: The Trouble With Trying to Save an Assassin (Murder Sprees & Mute Decrees #2) by Jennifer Cody

Read my review of the first book in the Murder Sprees & Mute Decrees series: The Trouble With Trying to Date a Murderer Before this book, I’d read the first installments in three separate series by Jodi Payne. I loved them all so much, that I literally couldn’t have picked what I wanted her toContinue reading “Book Review: The Trouble With Trying to Save an Assassin (Murder Sprees & Mute Decrees #2) by Jennifer Cody”

Book Review: Inferno (Hammer and Fist: Geminatus #1) by Jennifer Cody

The author advertised that this book could be read before or after Sledge and Claw (Hammer and Fist: Lextalion #1), but I read it second per the publishing dates. This order worked well for two reasons. First, characters from the other book provide delightful cameos in this novel (and yes, Lex and co. are asContinue reading “Book Review: Inferno (Hammer and Fist: Geminatus #1) by Jennifer Cody”

Book Review: Sledge and Claw (Hammer and Fist: Lextalion #1) by Jennifer Cody

I’m really into the genre differences between urban fantasy and paranormal romance, especially when the main character includes supernatural traits, and this book takes that distinction to an entirely new level. The unique spin Cody puts on the fantasy elements of this series is that the non-humans are from different dimensions for which Earth isContinue reading “Book Review: Sledge and Claw (Hammer and Fist: Lextalion #1) by Jennifer Cody”

Book Review: The Trouble With Trying to Date a Murderer (Murder Sprees & Mute Decrees #1) by Jennifer Cody

I wasn’t sure what I was getting into this book. The cover is typical romance fare, but I went in with a burning curiosity to identify the nicknames and a willingness to embrace a dark comedy. What I got was a delightful paranormal romance featuring a narrator who swept me along with his strong personality.Continue reading “Book Review: The Trouble With Trying to Date a Murderer (Murder Sprees & Mute Decrees #1) by Jennifer Cody”
