Hench
Brilliant black comedy about the people who work for supervillains. I hope there are further books set in this world.

Grishaverse Trilogy
Eastern Europe inspired YA fantasy series. It’s competent enough even if it is predictably about a conflicted chosen one. Though she does seem more conflicted love life than her fate as the chosen one.

The Viscount Who Loved Me
Delightful historical rom-com. some wonderful banter between the two leads as they move from enemies to lovers.
I’m really looking forward to the Netflix adaptation of this particular book in the series because it could be the regency screwball comedy we all need.

Evvie Drake Starts Over
Linda Holmes is an occasional contributor on one of my favourite sports podcasts. This is a sweet romance about a widow starting to come back to life when she rents a room to a Major League pitcher recovering from an injury.

The Eternals
Gaiman gives a new spin on Jack Kirby’s creations in this entertaining superhero yarn. This is meant to be highly influential on the upcoming film so I gave it a spin from the library

Holiday in the Hamptons
This is a re-read of a perfectly enjoyable romance novel. You can read my earlier, still accurate, review here. I picked it up because I’d just finished listening to the audiobook of New York Actually (which is the first of the Knight siblings books) and remembered that I liked this one best of the series and the audiobook wasn’t at a price I was prepared to pay.

The End of All Things
This book directly follows on from the stories told in The Human Division and thankfully starts to reveal the consipiracy behind events right from the start.
Again this is a series of connected novellas and short stories that make up a complete story.
Many characters return from The Human Division but a few new players have impactful appearances.
It’s a satisfying ending without leaving everything too neatly resolved.
Again, good solid Science Fiction written in an enjoyable fashion.
I really needed to know what happened after The Human Division and read this one as an ebook. It was nice to be that involved in a book/world.
