Certain Dark Things: A Novel | Silvia Moreno-Garcia

Pickpick

I‘m a sucker for urban fantasy & really enjoyed this different take on vampires. I loved how Moreno-Garcia plays with the common myths assigning different parts to different types of vampires in her world. I thought the idea that they evolved into different subspecies with various characteristics from various parts of the world was well thought out & executed. Aztecs + vampires 😍

I also enjoyed the noir feel and the various viewpoints …⬇️

MeganAnn Seeing viewpoints from a variety of characters really added to this story and to the noir feel, as well as highlighting the gaps between their roles and lives throughout. I‘m not ready to count this as a favorite quite yet, but I feel that has more to do with my timing in reading it now than it does the book itself. I‘m definitely looking forward to exploring more of this author‘s work as she has been on my TBR list for a long while. 4.5⭐️ 1y
MeganAnn Also, finished just in time for #authoramonth @Soubhiville 😅. Using this for #nsr22 #noshamereadathon22 Noir category @Nessavamusic 1y
Nessavamusic Yay! I enjoyed this one as well. 1y
Reggie My other favorites of hers are Untamed Shores and Signal to Noise. All of her books are so different from each other. 1y

This was a reread of my favorite of the Practical Magic books. This is the story of Maria Owens and her coming to the States. And the beginning of the curse 🧡

I can‘t believe this was Jemisin‘s debut! I can see the early threads of her Broken Earth series in this one — the writing style and the way she weaves different characters and pieces together in a way that gives you a hint of what‘s coming while still leaving space for surprises. Loved this world and the gods and Yeine. I‘m excited to see where she takes this in book 2!

5⭐️ finished just in time to add it to my #AuldLangSpine list @monalyisha

This is one of the team read for #TeamMonsterMash I enjoyed it. It was about a bunch of high-school kids who go to Romania to shoot their own vampire movie. It doesn't go well 🔪

#NSR22 #NoShameReadathon22
Set in a darkly magical world, full of monsterous terrors. People send their children to the hungry halls of the Scholomance only a fraction of them will return from. But some survivors are better than none. Naomi Novik kept me guessing at where this was all going from book to book and delivered a fantastic conclusion to this #Fantasy trilogy! I loved this engrossing juxtaposition of #Grimdark horror and grudging hope.
