New Haven Demon Hunters

Dead Beat by Leigh Bardugo

September 24, 2026 by G.D. Giant Leave a Comment

Dead Beat is the third and final book of the Ninth House trilogy by Leigh Bardugo and in it, Bardugo continues her theme of “yes, demons are bad, but have you met humans?” And once again she makes valid points that it’s a toss-up on who is worse. The book begins with Alex Stern and her friends … [Read more]

So, I did a full Grishaverse read in the past few months. I read Six of Crows a few months ago, and my review is on my profile earlier in this Cannonball. I was so excited that there were so many more books in this universe! Six of Crows #2: Crooked Kingdom is the second book in the Six of … [Read more]

Entrapment

Entrapment is a surprisingly fun Novel from one of Pajiba’s own

Entrapment by Jeff Stephens

September 24, 2026 by MegsDarcy 1 Comment

Well… I clearly need to stop thinking “I’ll just read a few chapters before bed” because apparently I have learned nothing. I received the book as an ARC after work and read it until I was finished well into the night. If you enjoy thrillers with complicated women, workplace drama, morally messy … [Read more]

The Skull by Jon Klassen

The Skull by Jon Klassen

September 24, 2026 by Classic Leave a Comment

This was the cutest children's book. I have this in hardcover and the fonts/illustrations were top notch and really drew me in. I loved the tale of Otilla and how she came to find a big house with a skull in it. We know she's running from something more dangerous than this and she's very very brave. … [Read more]

The Invisible Roommate

The pros and cons of disappearing from the world

The Invisible Roommate by Timothy Janovsky

September 24, 2026 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

I have enjoyed almost everything Timothy Janovsky has written, and I’ve enjoyed watching him grow as a writer. Janovsky has always honored the deep and serious feelings aspects of his characters while leaning into the comedic elements of the plot. In The Invisible Roomate, Janovsky lightens the mood … [Read more]

Should we all be a little more social?

A Little More Social by Nicholas Epley

September 24, 2026 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

I read MOST of this book. I was probably about halfway through and my loan ran out. So... I may have cheated a little bit and speed read through the last few chapters. I feel like you get enough of the jist in the first half though. The premise is: We think random stranger interactions will be … [Read more]
