Book Review: Demon’s Dagger, by Douglas Lumsden

by Felix the Fox (Assaph Mehr) on April 6, 2022May 19, 2022

I find Lumsden’s urban fantasy series one of the best out there, and I will never get tired of saying it. So obviously I was very excited to see a companion novella. What to Expect Expect something a little different that the usual Alex Southerland novel. This one is doesn’t involve him, but one of […]

Book Review: A Night Owl Slips Into a Diner, by Douglas Lumsden

by Felix the Fox (Assaph Mehr) on January 26, 2022December 16, 2021

I loved the Southerland urban fantasy series from the moment I first came across it, so obviously jumped on this one as soon as I could. (See my previous reviews here – as well as a wonderful guest post on Meso-American things that go bump in the night!) What to Expect Expect Alex to get […]

Book Review: A Hag Rises from the Abyss, by Douglas Lumsden

by Felix the Fox (Assaph Mehr) on May 19, 2021November 12, 2021

I adored the previous Alex Southerland novels, so when I got the ARC for this one I practically squealed with joy. It was worth the wait! What to Expect Another paranormal case in the wonderful urban fantasy series of Alex Southerland, PI. This time time he gets hired (coerced, more like) into helping the mayor […]

Book Review: A Witch Steps into My Office, by Douglas Lumsden

by Felix the Fox (Assaph Mehr) on January 6, 2021December 16, 2021

Lumsden’s previous novel left me wanting more, so it didn’t take me long to delve into this second book in the series. Nor was I disappointed – this is an excellent sequel, even better than the previous. What to Expect Expect a story that reads like Raymond Chandler or Dashiell Hammett, but with mobile phones […]

Book Review: A Troll Walks into a Bar, by Douglas Lumsden

by Felix the Fox (Assaph Mehr) on December 9, 2020December 16, 2021

Considering my love of detective stories, especially noir, hard-boiled types, and urban fantasy it wasn’t a big surprise I jumped right on this. What to Expect Expect a classic detective story like Raymond Chandler or Dashiel Hammet, but set in an alternate world suffused with magic. The protagonist, through whose eyes the story is told, […]

Book Review: Battle Ground, by Jim Butcher

by Felix the Fox (Assaph Mehr) on November 25, 2020November 5, 2020

I’ve read the first half of this story (see my review of Peace Talks) back in July, and of course I jumped straight into this novel as soon as it came out. What to Expect Expect the culmination of the two-part story starting with Peace Talks. As usual, Butcher delivers an intense thriller-paced, larger-than-life adventure […]

Book Review: Peace Talks, by Jim Butcher

by Felix the Fox (Assaph Mehr) on September 16, 2020July 20, 2020

I enjoyed the Dresden Files in the past, so was looking forward to the new installment after a few years’ gap. If you’ve never read them before this is not the place to start, but if you are a fan then this book delivers. What to Expect Peace Talks picks up where the series previously […]

Book Review: False Value (Rivers of London #8), by Ben Aaronovitch

by Felix the Fox (Assaph Mehr) on April 29, 2020March 28, 2020

I’ve been following Peter Grant’s adventures, so was happy to delve in to this new instalment. What to expect This novel is the first after the closure of the previous arc in Lies Sleeping. None of the old enemies appear (though don’t worry, the good side-characters are still there), and instead more of the world […]

Series Review: Rivers of London, by Ben Aaronovitch

by Felix the Fox (Assaph Mehr) on January 29, 2020January 7, 2020

I’ve read the first novel in the series, Rivers of London, a few months back. I quite liked the premise, so naturally delved down that rabbit hole. Here’s a review of the whole series to date: seven books, a couple of novellas, six graphic novels, and assorted shorts.

Book Review: Cabaret of Monsters, by Tansy Rayner Roberts

by Felix the Fox (Assaph Mehr) on October 2, 2019August 6, 2019

Caberet of Monsters presents a marvelous twist of Urban Fantasy. Though I was originally drawn by the Roman elements, the vibe of Parisian theatre and roaring 1920’s as a backdrop to urban fantasy was refreshingly original What to expect A novella set in the same world as the Creature Court trilogy, published a few years […]
