Apparently being ‘ruined’ in the 1800s is kind of a big deal since I guess as a female your self worth revolved around your virginity, and if that ship had sailed, well you were screwed literally out of making a good match.

The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle Graphic Novel Review
July 14, 2011
The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle illustrated by Renae De Liz and Ray Dillon is a beautiful rendered adaptation of the original fantasy classic. This graphic novel uses Beagle’s words, however, in an abridged format, so the original text isn’t presented in entirety, but if it was then I guess this would be the illustrated edition and not graphic novel which is a whole new awesome medium for the story. Yet the original meaning of The Last Unicorn is retained.

Evie is no longer working for IPCA, instead she is living life as a human in Lend’s hometown. To be honest, I pretty much forgot everything from Paranormalcy, but Supernaturally quickly […]
Angel Burn by LA Weatherly Audiobook Review
July 10, 2011
L.A. Weatherly provides a new spin on angels in her latest book, Angel Burn. Willow is a half angel living in Upstate NY, she’s kind of my county neighbor, pretty much. This would be fine and dandy except in Angel Burn, L.A. Weatherly’s angels are villainous and want to suck your life force for sustenance. Cue Alex, an […]
