David McK (3791 KP) rated Night Watch (Discworld, #29; City Watch, #6) in Books

Jan 28, 2019 (Updated May 26, 2026)

2026 update: read in May as that's when it's mainly set!

2018 update: "Truth! Justice! Reasonably-priced love! And a hard-boiled egg!"

2016 update: Following (Sir) Terry Pratchett's death in 2015 to his 'Embuggerance', I recently came across a blog where the author of said blog was reading all of the Discworld books in order from the first to the last. One of the last entries in the said blog was when he rated the books, from his most to least favourite, and then asked his readers to do the same and later published those responses.

In both cases, 'Night Watch' - which, I think, was one of the last before Pratchett was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's - was in the top 10, so I decided to go back and re-read it ...

<original thoughts below>

One of Terry Pratchett's more recent Discworld novel, in which he makes use of the good old time-travel sci-fi trope to move Commander Sam Vimes of the City Watch back in time to an earlier portion of his life-time.

short and sweet, steamy and smexy!

I was gifted my copy of this book.

What this is, right, is a short, sweet, super smexy read, that hit all the spots that needed hitting for me, at this moment in time.

It is, quite simply, boy meets boy, they fall in love, the end! And I freaking loved it and the only reason I couldn't give it 5 stars was cos it was too flipping short and I wanted MORE of these two, I really did!

Neither Kyle nor Garrett is looking for anything permenant, but when Garrett comes to Kyle's apartment to fix his air con, all bets are off and the pair fall hard and fast and so flipping cutely, it was almost pure sugar.

This is set in the Brannon Brothers realm, and it's not necessary to read the first Brannon book, Heat Transfer, to follow this one. Garrett has connections with those boys, which is why it's in the series.

Short and sweet, smexy and steamy, a fabulous 4 star read.

SPICE is the first novella in the Unhinged Holidays series, and I can't wait for more!

Willow is a barista, working at The Cauldron, with small magic of her own, or so she thinks. Her life is upended when Ezra walks in for a pumpkin spice latte and realises she is the witch to break his curse. What follows is instalove, hot, spicy, and oh-so-sweet.

It isn't 'just' s3x, though; it's the connection between the two, the romantic lines from the heart, the attention to detail, and the setting. All of it combined is a novella to keep and re-read every October.

I would love for this novella to be expanded into a full-length novel. I want to hear more about Willow's relationship with her grandmother and mother. More about how Ezra was cursed and why. And more about the two (then three) of them together. Basically, I just want more.

Absolutely fantastic and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by me.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
