Until reading this book, I thought I was pretty up on my geek trivia. After reading, I realize I have some catching up to do. This book has plenty of references to movies, tv shows, books, comics and games. Part of the fun is in catching all the references. The plot was solid and I liked the hint of romance between Ree and Drake. I enjoyed reading this book. If this is the first in a series, I look forward to reading the next one. Look, I'm a geek. A nerd. One of those pop-culture, fannish folks. So when you hand me a book where someone can watch a show or movie and get powers based on it? I am so in. I mean, really. I told you I was a geek. This is the kind of thing I dream of. The book was a lot of geeky, nerdy fun. I'm looking forward to the sequel. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Belongs to SeriesRee Reyes (1)
Clerks meets Buffy the Vampire the Slayer in this original urban fantasy ebook about Geekomancers--humans that derive supernatural powers from pop culture. Ree Reyes's life was easier when all she had to worry about was scraping together tips from her gig as a barista and comic shop slave to pursue her ambitions as a screenwriter. When a scruffy-looking guy storms into the shop looking for a comic like his life depends on it, Ree writes it off as just another day in the land of the geeks. Until a gigantic "BOOM!" echoes from the alley a minute later, and Ree follows the rabbit hole down into her town's magical flip-side. Here, astral cowboy hackers fight trolls, rubber-suited werewolves, and elegant Gothic Lolita witches while wielding nostalgia-powered props. Ree joins Eastwood (aka Scruffy Guy), investigating a mysterious string of teen suicides as she tries to recover from her own drag-your-heart-through-jagged-glass breakup. But as she digs deeper, Ree discovers Eastwood may not be the knight-in-cardboard armor she thought. Will Ree be able to stop the suicides, save Eastwood from himself, and somehow keep her job?

So I read both of the novels, and enjoyed so many wonderful nostalgic moments and I wasn't even missing any references at all.
As a side note, the story isn't bad, but a heroine who bakes so much and eats so many bad things and drinks so much cannot ever remain so stick-thin. I call bullshit!
Otherwise, I tore through the novels and giggled and pined for such wonderful superpowers. Easy reads, strictly urban fantasy, but more importantly, fun fun fun.
There's only so much nostalgia you can pack into any one novel, of course, and the balance was kept, but I'm used to heavy nostalgia, so I probably could have taken an even heavier dose than this. On that note, I'm just going to say that I'll have to kick someone if I don't get at least 13 books in this series. :) ( )
