The Winter Long
The latest Toby Daye book’s blurb promises to change her world forever. We do get some meaty revelations but nothing as shocking as the first reveal about Toby’s mother earlier in the series (at least for my money).
I love this series and this is another fine installment. I recommend reading the entire series from Rosemary and Rue onwards.
I’m just waiting for the installment in the series that takes the leap from very good to great. I believe that’s going to happen at some point.
scorpion?
Angelfall
Angels have come to Earth with death and destruction in their wake. No one knows why they’re here but the survivors group into gangs/militia or try to scrape by under the radar.
Penryn has survived despite having to protect a wheelchair bound sister and an insane mother.
After an attack that sees her sister carried off she interferes to save an angel who has his wings cut off in order to secure his help in rescuing her sister.
This messy novel mashes up Biblical stories and dystopian fiction. It has quite a few horrific moments and some creepy sexual undertones which I found rather unpleasant.
One thing I can say for certain is that I never knew where the plot was going which is a relief after so many predictable reads recently but I’m not sure that the author knew where it was going either.
carpark?
Clean Sweep
This is an insubstantial and cheesy bit of urban fantasy. Innkeepers run neutral waystations for travellers of a more unusual type. Dina Demille is from a line of innkeepers and is bringing a previously dormant inn gradually back to strength when a series of dog killings get her involved with the local werewolf and eventually a vampire warrior.
Yes this book has a vampire/werewolf/human female love triangle.
To be honest the only interesting thing about this was the magic as scifi tech motif, otherwise a bit crap.
