Hailey Turner - Soulbound V: On the Wings of War

 I'm almost at the end of this book. And I decided to start writing about it while it is still fresh in my memory. I always do better with these posts when I start writing them during reading instead of after I finish the book. 

This book, like all the previous ones, follows special agent Patrick Collins (and his boyfriend Jonno, the god pack werewolf). They are tracking down the Morrigan staff and it leads them to an auction in London. So they drag Lucien in to be the one to bid for the staff as they can't easily get into the auction. Lucien is a vampire. A ruling vampire from New York, Manhattan. 

In London, they encounter the local god pack and find out that one of the leaders is actually a hunter possessed by a demon of a pretty high rank. They dance around each other for a while until it all culminates during the auction and after a big fight, the staff is gone. They track it to Paris and after a bit of searching and a meeting with the Paris god pack, they have to fight their way through a horde of some kind of super zombies and try and defeat the necromancer that seems to have the staff and is a worshiper of some death god from Europe of old. I'm pretty sure the god's name starts with a T, but don't ask me to spell it out, it sounded complicated. I think it was from Slavic folklore specifically. 

Alice Winters - Phoenix's Quest #1: Nixing the End of the World

Official Blurb:

Nixing the End of the World contains a flaming "horse" with antlers who inexplicably appears when needed (or not), an interfering BFF who didn’t really mean to light the trunk on fire, a six-toed cat that looks like he put a claw in a socket, and an incubus who just wants a smoothie without anyone losing their clothes.

I'm done with coming up with summaries when somebody already did that job for me. I think I'd prefer to focus on what I like or dislike about a book than summarising it. However, regardless of if I write the blurb or not, the book was excellent. I couldn't stop listening to it. Yeah, at first I was very surprised and a little disappointed when they sprung a female character on me at the very beginning, but hey, it turned out okay and the cute male lead ended up together with the sassy and classy (or at least he thinks he is) Alistair. Alastair? Don't know. Spelling names correctly is hard when you have only ever heard them and didn't really see their written form. So I'm gonna be partly guessing. 

Eoin Colfer - Artemis Fowl

 And no, I'm not talking about the movie. Even if it was the reason I decided to re-read the books. 

I've read the books as a kid and they were great. I don't think I've read them (back then) more than once, but they stayed with me. When I got a little older, better at English, I started reading fanfiction and among those were stories featuring Artemis Fowl. The ones I read most of were crossovers, mostly with Harry Potter, which, now that I think about it, has even more potential. What with Colin Farrell playing Artemis' father. The potential for fanfics just went from great to infinite. Or close to it
