I finally got a chance to read the eighth book in Laurell K Hamilton’s Merry Gentry series, Divine Misdemeanors and I have to say I’m not too upset that I waited to read it.
You may know me best as Meredith Nic Essus, princess of faerie. Or perhaps as Merry Gentry, Los Angeles private eye. In the fey and mortal realms alike, my life is the stuff of royal intrigue and celebrity drama. Among my own, I have confronted horrendous enemies, endured my noble kin’s treachery and malevolence, and honored my …
Kim Harrison delivers another fantastic story with the seventh Hollows novel, Black Magic Sanction.

But she’s never faced off against her own kind . . . until now.

Only her enemies are strong enough to help her win her freedom, but trust comes …

Enchanted yet horrified, humans force the magical beings Underground, to colonize the sewers and abandoned subway tunnels beneath their glittering cities.
But even magic folk cannot dwell in harmony, and soon two Worlds emerge: the Lightworld, home to faeries, dragons and …
When I started to read Key to Justice by Talia Gryphon, I got the feeling that I was missing a whole lot of back story. Turns out, with this being the fourth book in the series, that I wasn’t too far of the mark. Maybe if I had read this series from book one then I would’ve liked Key to Justice more than I did, but sadly that just wasn’t the case.
Psychologist to the paranormal Gillian Key has a new patient. He is a vampire who calls himself Csangal, but …
