Review: Magic Claims by Ilona Andrews

Posted on May 30, 2023 by Liz (AKA Cat)

I think I’m in love. Again. Every time I dive back into this world, I’m quickly reminded why the Kate Daniels series was (and will always be) one of my favorite urban fantasy series. It’s so powerfully written, with rich and intense characters. Throw in dangerous enemies and an expansive world; there’s plenty to love. Continue reading →

Review: The Opportunist by Elyse Friedman

Posted on May 29, 2023 by Liz (AKA Cat)

If you like a good family drama read with lots of thrilling twists, you’ve got to read The Opportunist. I’ll admit that I wasn’t sure how to feel at first, but that was before I got into the narrative. It’s easy to make a quick assumption based on the description – but what you’ll find inside is so much more. Continue reading →

Review: Lone Women by Victor LaValle

Posted on May 24, 2023 by Liz (AKA Cat)

I’ll be honest; I had no idea what to expect when I entered Lone Women. I don’t read as much historical fiction as I should and certainly don’t read many Westerns. But the promise of something paranormal happening in this setting? Well, that was more than enough to tempt me into reading it… Continue reading →

Review: I’m Glad My Mom Died by Jeannette McCurdy

Posted on May 21, 2023 by Liz (AKA Cat)

I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t read nearly enough memoirs. That being said, Jeannette McCurdy’s autobiography (I’m Glad My Mom Died) is one of those rare books that got my attention and made me desperate to read it. I’ll admit that part of this stems from my days of loving iCarly. But mostly? I think it’s important to read about (and understand) the cost and pain that many child stars struggle with.
