Stuck with my Frenemy By USA Today Bestselling Author Maya Daniels and Cassandra Fear.

You Stack it, We Pack it.

Life should be good when you are a daughter of Aphrodite, or a daughter of Morrigan. But that’s not what the fates had in mind for Cherry and Ebony. The two women get stuck together in the human realm to return a favor their mothers owe that will change their lives forever.

Appointed as the Karma collectors, they have the perfect opportunity to grow into their powers, only if they can look past their differences and embrace the destiny unfolding at their feet.

Having thieves as their fated mates was never part of the plan.

When Thor’s hammer gets stolen, it’s time to dash out some karma and collect on the sin. That’s where their troubles begin. Although they don’t like each other, they must work together unless they want to pay penance in the underworld for a century.

This whole mates thing must be a mixup, the only thing both of them agree on.

Plus it can’t be hard to deliver karma to humans, right?

Wrong.

Thank goodness Master Mercurius is back! He might not like the idea (he’d rather be with his books at the University of Leiden), but I most certainly do!

This time, it’s 1676 and Stadhouder William of Orange wants Mercurius to join the delegation going to England to interview his possible future wife. This future wife is the 14 year old niece of King Charles II, and William wants to make sure that she’s a good Protestant - and not a Catholic like her father. Of course, nothing seems to ever run smoothly for Mercurius, and this trip is no exception. It’s not long before Mercurius is required to use his powers of deduction when one of the Dutch party is found dead. And he has clearly been murdered.

It’s no secret that I love these books. Mercurius’ reluctant humour really appeals to me, and this observational humour is used when we look at King Charles and his court. Mercurius’ observations of the royal court and their loose morals is, at times, laugh out loud funny (well, I certainly snorted in a very unladylike fashion, anyway!). I think I actually genuinely love Mercurius, and I can’t wait to read more.

Many thanks to Sapere Books for providing me with a copy for an honest review.

'It'll make you think of Dr No!' promises the poster for this almost indescribable comedy-thriller written and directed by Burgess Meredith. It didn't make me think of Dr No: it made me think of what it must be like to take hallucinogenic drugs while suffering from a bad case of the flu. The details of the plot are almost enough to defeat the English language - suffice to say that the key turning point in the story comes when the Buddha (who also narrates the story) uses his mystic powers to turn villainous Chinese-Mexican Mr Go (James Mason - yes, it's James Mason trying to play a Chinese-Mexican) into a benevolent philanthropist.

It's not just that the film is bizarre and incoherent, with plenty of gratuitous nudity, and European actors cheerfully playing Asian characters: it's also that the production values are incredibly primitive. It's almost like watching pornography without the sex (or so I would imagine). Not one element of this film is robust enough to elevate it into 'so bad it's funny' territory. It's just bad. That said, Jeff Bridges made his film debut in it, which presumably goes to show that even the least promising starts can lead to a distinguished career. But even so - for masochists and the troubled only.
