Review: Our Lady of the Streets by Tom Pollock

Cover for Our Lady of the Streets by Tom Pollock. White cover with the title written fancifully in blue. At the base is a blue silhouette of London's skyline, but it is broken and crumbling.Tor.com: Be prepared to bid a bittersweet goodbye to Beth and her best friend, then… but not before they’ve had one last adventure together. An adventure as incredible as it is desperate; as tragical as it is magical. … The City’s Son, for its part, marked a strong start, and the emergence of an improbably promising new voice in the genre. The Glass Republic—an ingenious inversion of the expectations set by said—proved Tom Pollock was no one-hit wonder. With Our Lady of the Streets, he goes three for three. I couldn’t have asked for a more satisfying finale. And sorry as I am to say farewell to Beth and Pen, I’m even more excited to see what this awesome author sets his sights on next.

Cover for Our Lady of the Streets by Tom Pollock. White cover with the title written fancifully in blue. At the base is a blue silhouette of London's skyline, but it is broken and crumbling.Four months ago, Mater Viae, the Goddess of London, returned from London-Under- Glass to reclaim her throne. And ever since then, London has been dying.

Streets are wracked by convulsions as muscles of wire and pipe go into spasm, bunching the city into a crippled new geography; pavements flare to thousand-degree fevers, incinerating anyone and anything touching them. Towers crash to the ground, their foundations decayed.

As the streets sicken, so does Beth, drawn ever deeper into the heart of the city, while Pen fights desperately for a way to save her. But when they discover that Mater Viae’s plans for dominion stretch far beyond London’s borders, they must make a choice: Beth has it within her to unleash the city’s oldest and greatest powers – powers that could challenge the vengeful goddess, or destroy the city itself.

Cover for Night's Honor by Thea Harrison. An attractive white man with dark hair and a purple shirt, open to reveal massive pecs, stands sexily in the foreground. A peaceful night scene is in the back, reminiscent of a Spanish village.Publishers Weekly: Harrison’s enjoyable seventh Elder Races paranormal (after Kinked) takes a trip to the Vampyre demesne in San Francisco. The Vampyres are hosting their annual audition and auction for new human attendants. Running away from a dangerous Djinn, Tess Graham reluctantly offers her skills for auction and attracts the attention of Xavier del Torro, who serves the Nightkind King. Despite her fear of Xavier, she agrees to train as his attendant, understanding that she must eventually offer her blood without hesitation. The epitome of a Spanish nobleman, Xavier hides his interest in Tess behind politeness and professionalism, but he can’t help but be impressed by her determination to conquer her fear of his kind and succeed as an attendant. When she leverages his political connections to save herself, she also captures his heart. The world contains a great many different beings and types of magic, but even casual readers will be able to follow along and enjoy this fun and affecting episode.

harrison-fallinglight“Riveting…Incredible sexual tension…I could not put it down.” —Under the Covers

Having finally reunited, and fought off the Deceiver for now, Mary and Michael race up the Michigan peninsula to meet Astra before police forces catch up with them. But the closer they get, the less Mary is willing to trust a woman who by her own admission will do anything to finish the Deceiver—even if it means killing Michael and Mary to try again in another life. As they face their final battle, Michael’s loyalties are tested, making him vulnerable just when Mary needs him most.

Starred Review: Falling Light by Thea Harrison

Jan 072014
 

harrison-fallinglightRomantic Times: Award-winning Harrison is back with the second half of her intense, dark and enthralling duology, which features the climax of an ancient ongoing war. The various characters in these novels have been fighting for so long it has damaged them on many levels. Harrison’s ability to craft multilayered characters as well as a believable, absorbing mythos makes her one of the best in the business.
