Abandon the Night by Joss Ware

28 November 2011 Casey 1

Since Zoe and Quent’s first encounter in Beyond the Night when Zoe saved Quent’s life, and every combustible meeting since then, I have been dying to read their story. Abandon the Night was just as full of the explosive chemistry between the two as I had hoped. Yet, the rest of it wasn’t quite […]

In Bed With A Highlander by Maya Banks

21 November 2011 Casey 0

I adore reading historical romance novels, especially those of the Scottish variety, and I have absolutely loved every single book by Maya Banks that I have read so far. So when I found out she was writing a historical Scottish trilogy, that was a dream come true. Except, In Bed With […]

The Fat Cat by Edie Ramer

20 November 2011 Casey 1

The Halloween themed anthology Entangled contains novellas by authors I know and love, and by authors I have yet to try. Edie Ramer was one of those new -to-me authors, but after reading The Fat Cat, Ramer’s contribution to the anthology, she has become one of those authors that I love. In a […]

Sweetly by Jackson Pearce

18 November 2011 Casey 1

Of all the fairy tales, the story of Hansel and Gretel is my least favorite. Something about it has always rubbed me the wrong way. Yet when I read Jackson Pearce’s retelling of the story in her latest novel, Sweetly, there was nothing I didn’t absolutely love about it. As a […]

Halloween Frost by Jennifer Estep

17 November 2011 Casey 3

The Halloween themed anthology Entangled contains novellas by authors I know and love, and by authors I have yet to try. I already love Jennifer Estep and was seriously excited to see that her contribution, Halloween Frost, was set in her Mythos Academy series – quite possibly my favorite series of hers. It’s Halloween at […]

Ward Against Death by Melanie Card

13 November 2011 Casey 3

It can be hard for authors to come up with a completely unique story that isn’t full of overly used clichés. Melanie Card nearly succeed with her debut novel, Ward Against Death – which was one of the most unique stories I’ve read in a long time. Twenty-year-old Ward de […]

Casey’s Literary Rants

9 November 2011 Casey 0

In which I rant about NaNoWriMo Ah, November. By now most of the leaves have fallen off the trees; the frigid temperatures are here to stay and tons of people are hunched over laptops and computers, trying to write a 50,000 word novel in a single month. Wait…a 50,000 word novel in a […]

Casey’s Literary Rants

2 November 2011 Casey 3

In which I rant about zombies Since Halloween just happened the other day, I felt like I should rant about creepy, crawly, scary monsters.  Since all the old school monsters have been romanticized (Dracula sparkles and The Wolf Man will just snuggle under the full moon. And I’m sure I’m not the […]

Casey’s Literary Rants

19 October 2011 Casey 7

In which I first rant about why I’ve been MIA So this is the first time I’m posting a rant in two weeks and that’s really depressing*. But there’s a totally good reason for it. Well, not good, but excusable. See, I’ve been sick. Horribly sick. Can’t eat, can’t breathe, […]

Goddess with a Blade by Lauren Dane

13 October 2011 Casey 1

Lauren Dane is most known for her sinfully hot erotic novels but her latest release, Goddess with a Blade, shows that she can also write an amazing, kick ass story, with a bit more violence and plot than sex. Rowan Summerwaite is no ordinary woman. Physical vessel to the Celtic Goddess […]
