This review can also be found at Carole's Random Life.I have some mixed feelings regarding this book. I did like it but I found it to be a bit tedious at times. I love the idea behind the book. I can't tell you how many times being able to rewind time a few seconds for quick "do over" would have come in handy during my life so the idea is very compelling. The part where you need partner to help you only remember one of the timelines so that you remain sane doesn't sound quite as appealing in rea...

One star for the book itself, and one star because it is Kim Harrison.I don't have the heart to write the rant review that this book deserves.So, just a few key points:At no stage did I feel like I was reading a Kim Harrison novel.All the characters were cliché with very little personality; they were flat and acted unrealistically.More detail was put on describing every piece of fancy clothing than actual surroundings or people.There is no reason for this being set in 2030, it doesn't add to the...

The beginning of The Drafter was great. I love the concept of "drafting" which is basically the main character's ability to alter time and rewrite history. I was excited and sucked in at first. I didn't know who the characters were. I didn't know who was corrupt or who to trust. This was a good thing... at first.Here's the thing. The plot and those questions never advanced. It was one big repetitive is she/isn't she, is he/isn't he for 432 pages.Normally I would have DNF'ed before forcing myself...

If you're a fan of the Hollows and you're debating whether to pick up this very different kind of book from Kim Harrison, let me make it easy for you: do it. Of course, this recommendation isn't only for fans of Rachel Morgan, but I have to admit that after loving those books so much, for so long, I was worried that I wouldn't enjoy Harrison making such a big departure from Urban Fantasy. Instead of disappointment, this book left me feeling excited about the next installment and finally broke me...

I’d actually like to start out with an ultra-mini review of Sideswiped: It was a perfect introduction of the characters, magic system, and slightly futuristic/alternate society. I thought it was absolutely delightful, yet heart wrenching at the same time. I loved every moment and afterward was totally AMPED to pick up The Drafter. [4.5/5 stars]Then I picked up The Drafter.I read a few posts on Kim Harrison’s blog a few months ago where she conveyed how disappointed she was that The Drafter wasn’...

Re-Read 10/1/16 in prep for book 2.I usually don't do re-reads for new releases, but this one rather screams the need. A lot goes on, and there are so many twists and turns in the plot that it really is a nightmare of interpersonal horrors. :) It doesn't help that this level of mindfuckery is sanctioned at the highest levels, or that Peri becomes quite this victimized.The end kinda justifies the means, but it's really quite a shame that she had to go through so much just to do what is right and ...

☠ DNF at: who the fish knows? It's been so bloody shrimping long since I read tried reading this thing that my grand grandchildren now have grand grandchildren. So you can't seriously expect me to remember how far I didn't make it into this most fascinating tale, my Little Barnacles. You are quite welcome.Okay book, you've been sitting on the bookshelf of Total Doom and Utter Oblivion (TDaUO™) long enough. Time to offer you in sacrifice to the Ever Pissed Off Calmly Cheerful Gods of the DNF Grav...

The best thing I can say about this book is: it would've made a good short story.

When I heard this was about time travel I was expecting: But in reality it was more like this: Peri was a drafter, which meant she can go back in time. Sounds wicked awesome, right? Well not so much. Drafters can only go back and alter the last minute or less of time. It has serious consequences like major memory loss, which makes the drafter vulnerable to manipulation since they don’t remember anything. If she didn’t put herself in situations where her life were in danger and had to draft to s...
