Clockwork Boys and The Wonder Engine by T. Kingfisher Clocktaur War books 1 & 2 Fantasy Favorite Quote: "Would you like to go on a suicide mission?" she asked instead. He smiled. It was the first genuine smile she'd seen all day. "I would be honored," he said. I one-clicked both of these books after reading this blurb: A paladin, an assassin, a forger, and a scholar ride out of town. It’s not the start of a joke, but rather an espionage mission with deadly serious stakes. T. Continue Reading

Helyce’s Thursday Thoughts
Hello Friends. It is December-the tree is up, the lights on the house have been hung, and a fair amount of shopping has taken place. Am I close to being done-absolutely not. There is just not enough time in the day (or enough money). That said, I managed one book this week via Audible.

AND the really cool thing is Continue Reading

Review: Death Knell by Hailey Edwards
Death Knell by Hailey Edwards Foundling #3 Urban Fantasy December 4, 2018 by Piatkus Favorite Quote: "A human heart only has no many beats." He flattened my palm against his chest. "I'm not capable of a love so small or finite. What I feel for you can't be confined to the lifespan of a century. My heart speaks the language of eternity, and the name it whispers is yours." Reviewed by Angela Holy smokes this book. Honestly, when this series started I would have never in a million years Continue Reading
