When we last left off, everyone was speculating on whether Stark can still be saved by Zoey when they head back to the House of Night. Hunted (House of Night) Chapter 16: Stevie Rae shows up and says they’ve figured out a way to get Zoey back to school and that she needs to drink […]

The Bachelor premiered yesterday! This may not matter a whole lot to you… yet. But our Patreon is surprisingly close to our “haha what if we recapped The Bachelor too?” stretch goal. So if you like us a lot and this idea intrigues you… this is a particularly good time to take a look at our Patreon. (Also we’re […]

House of Night 10th Anniversary Novel: We haven’t finished the House of Night series yet, and I actually have no idea how it ends (somehow I’ve managed to only hear two character-specific spoilers), but there’s some big House of Night news on the block. According to these FB/Twitter posts (some of which I have captured in very high-quality screenshots, you’re welcome), […]

Previously, Wes surprised Mia with a visit to Chicago. It was a Saint Patrick’s Day miracle! Also, there’s still time to join our book club this month where quarterly we send you a book and chat about it on Patreon. A book? In the mail? I can’t wait! If that isn’t thrilling enough, we might even […]

In case you actually expected a book in this series to end otherwise. Calendar Girl (March): Chapter 10 The books ends with a celebration for the release of the Fasano’s new frozen food line, which I still can’t believe is the celebration that this book really went with. The party’s going to attract a lot of media. […]

Hunted (House of Night) Chapter 18: Featuring a Stark Naked Zoey: Zoey wakes up in the infirmary and realizes that she’s naked and needs to pretend to be asleep. Presumably, this is so she can overhear something important, which is how the plot has advanced in the past. You’d think at this point Neferet would […]

So. Mason’s a real dick, huh? Gotta say, I’m kind of torn, because on the one hand I was complaining that it was unrealistic that all of her clients were reasonably nice men instead of misogynistic assholes. Good job complaining, past Matthew. Before we go into this post, let’s take a second to reflect on what Mia’s […]

Hunted (House of Night) Chapter 20: Stark is confirmed to be physically/sexually assaulting another fledgling by sucking her blood and beginning to “situate himself between her legs” until Darius intervenes. Zoey goes to help the girl in question and gives us a crucial piece of information: I crouched down, realizing with a start of surprise that the […]
The post Hunted (House of Night) Chapter 20: Stark and Zoey are Already Kissing appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
So you may have noticed that House of Night has started talking about sexual assault a lot. Later on in this post, I go on a rather long aside about this, which means that a large chunk of today’s post has no jokes and talks about how this story may or may not be handling some […]

Calendar Girl (April) Chapter 3: Mia is really getting a kick out of pretending to be Mason’s girlfriend. She’s loving the baseball games and the partying, and this generally seems like the absolute best $100,000 ever earned. She’s also being very mature about the Wes situation. She’s not shoving her feelings aside, but understands that […]

Calendar Girl (April): Chapter 4 Last chapter ended with drunk Mia encouraging drunk Rachel to make a move on Mason and also drunkenly giving her a sexy and/or trashy makeover in order to do so. Remember that old saying, “The road to Hell was paved in good intentions?” Man, whoever said that shit was spot […]

Hunted (House of Night) Chapter 22: Darius insists that Zoey really needs to get some rest, and her other friends display a sincere concern for her well-being: ‘How’s your nasty, ugly, gaping wound?’ Erin asked. Don’t forget, the real Erin Bates is angry at how the fictional Erin is portrayed later. Zoey tries to argue that […]

Hunted (House of Night): Chapter 23 This entire chapter is Zoey’s dream, which I guess we’re supposed to assume the really, real Kalona is magically in for reals. It never explicitly confirms it’s not just a dream, of course. It’s just written like we’re supposed to assume it’s actually magic instead of… you know the […]

Mia and Mason dive straight into planning a big fundraiser for breast cancer. I’m not sure how much of the book is left, but it feels kind of like in teen films when everything is leading up to the prom. It has to be where Mia learns this book’s lesson and where Mason and Rachel […]

Calendar Girl (April): Chapter 6 The second half of the book kicks off with Mason’s breast cancer fundraiser, which I assumed was going to be the climax. Mason and Mia are “dressed to the nines”, but guess who the real knockout is! Rachel made her way from the back of the room. She wore a […]
