Media Roll Call
Jun. 11th, 2013 10:08 pm17) Poisoned Kisses by Stephanie Draven - A surprisingly good paranormal/supernatural romance that revolves around the idea of gods still hanging around in various levels. A bit light in the character interaction arc but that's a problem with a lot of serial romances; you only have so many words to build a relationship. But it was fun and funny and kinda hot and sweet... And you almost have to be charmed by the note of fangirl in the author's notes/dedication. American Gods and the story of Circe? Bless her socks. Also the author acknowledges pantheons outside of the standard default of Greek. Ogun? Oh, hellyeah.
18) Kiss Me Once by Thomas Maxwell - A rather lousy attempt at a noir-style mystery. I think it was the author's first and it seems like it's the first in what is planned to be a series. All I know is that there were parts that weren't bad but most of it was slow, plodding, and without much feeling. Seriously. You realized that 98% of the cast would be dead by the end and you didn't give a damn. In fact, you wanted it to happen sooner. I had a brief happy moment at the start where I thought the dubious heroine might be an undercover British spy but, no, she was just a crazy idiot. Oh, well. It's read and it will be gone now.
