I grew up reading historical romance novels, so I’m always love finding ones that also include the paranormal element. When I heard of Coleen Gleason’s Gardella Vampire series, they immediately caught my attention. It took me awhile, but I finally got my hands on the Rest Falls Away, the first novel in this [...]

I just finished the latest Meredith Gentry novel by Laurell K. Hamilton and I have to wonder…is Swallowing Darkness the end?
At the end of Lick of Frost, we found out that Meredith was pregnant with twins by six of her guards.  Then she gets kidnapped by Taranis, the King of Light and Illusion or the [...]

I’m really having trouble writing this review. Don’t get me wrong, Mona Lisa Blossoming by Sunny, the second novel in her Monere series, is just as captivating as Mona Lisa Awakening.  However, I’ve read it before and I think that’s what making it hard for me. I already knew the story going in and [...]

I had actually read Mona Lisa Awakening by Sunny awhile ago, but it was before I started Literary Escapism, so I decided to re-read them again so I can post reviews. With that said, I LOVE this series. It’s such a new take on shapeshifters that it’s refreshing. Before I go on, [...]

So you’re probably wondering about the (Pt 1) element in the title, huh. Well, it’s easy…I’m still reading The 12th Demon by Bruce Hennigan, but I felt the need to get my first impressions out in the open. The second part of the review will come out when I’ve finished it. First [...]

After listening to some conversation involving Karen Marie Moning’s Faefever, I became interested and picked up the first novel in the series - Darkfever.

I just finished Dark Harvest by Lynda Hilburn and it’s taken me a little longer to go through than normal because I read it as an e-book. After reading this novel, I’ve come to a conclusion…I’m not a fan of e-books. Kind of off topic I know, but it took me longer to [...]

I finally got a chance to watch the new HBO show True Blood based on Charlaine Harris’ Southern Vampire Mysteries novels. The show starts out with the obvious beginning just like in Dead Until Dark, where Sookie meets Bill for the first time in Merlotte’s.
I have to say that I really like Anna Paquin [...]
