| A propulsive read that I finished on the same day I started it. No one in this story is a good person, but they're such fascinating disasters that I couldn't help rooting for them. Louise and her matter-of-fact delusions. Cat and her selfishness, Hen ...more | |

| A fast-paced novel that moves from country to country and literary reference to reference as Cross flees incoming angels with the dubious aid of somewhat trustworthy Fae. When your allies are Faerie, who needs enemies, but he's certainly got plenty o ...more | |

“Your agency bio states that you’re looking for great books but life is hard, Alister Tylte, and sometimes you have to settle for what you can get. Sometimes you’re someone’s McGill, but sometimes you’re their safety school, and that’s okay. I believe my book is a book, and you should probably be satisfied with that for your list.”
