The Iron Knight by Julie Kagawa

10 October 2011 Casey 1

Cat’s Tale by Bettie Sharpe

1 October 2011 Casey 1

I absolutely love fairy tales. I love seeing each author’s different take on a classic tale and how they make it their own story. With her latest novel, Cat’s Tale, Bettie Sharpe has instantly become one of my new favorite authors with her clever yet hilarious retelling of Puss in […]

Casey’s Literary Rants

28 September 2011 Casey 6

In which I rant about eReaders Yes, eReaders. You either love them or you hate them. Unless you’re me, then you kind of hate them while sitting there and thinking “I need one!” Yeah, I have this totally unique love/hate relationship with eReaders. I hate them because nothing will ever replace […]

His Darkest Embrace by Juliana Stone

25 September 2011 Casey 1

When I read Juliana Stone’s His Darkest Hunger, I was impressed by the world she had created but not with Jaxon or Libby, the hero/heroine. I wasn’t sure if I was even going to read the second book, His Darkest Embrace until I saw a one star review on Amazon saying that it […]

Medicine Road by Charles de Lint

24 September 2011 Casey 1

I can’t tell you what I expected when I first sat down and started reading Medicine Road by Charles de Lint; but I can tell you that I didn’t expect it to be utterly adorable and one of the sweetest love stories I’ve ever read. Marking the return of the […]

The Dragon Book (Anthology)

Dragon lovers rejoice! The Dragon Book is full of amazing, unique tales about, you guessed it, dragons. Whether portrayed as fire-breathing reptilian beasts at war with humanity or as noble creatures capable of speech and mystically bonded to the warriors who ride them, dragons have been found in nearly every […]

Mistwood by Leah Cypess

20 September 2011 Casey 1

I’d been meaning to read Mistwood by Leah Cypess for about a year now, but kept putting it off. When I finally got around to reading it, I literally devoured it in one day. Isabel remembers nothing. Nothing before the prince rode into her forest to take her back to […]

Coronets and Steel by Sherwood Smith

18 September 2011 Casey 0

Sherwood Smith’s Coronets and Steel was one of those books that I really wanted to like. It had all the potential to be awesome yet I couldn’t even finish it. It wasn’t bad, it just couldn’t hold my attention. California girl Kim Murray is unsatisfied with grad school and restless […]

Casey’s Literary Rants

14 September 2011 Casey 3

In which I rant about the passing of Borders To be honest, I had absolutely no idea what I was going to write for this rant. Everything I tried seemed to just fizzle out after a few sentences. But then it hit me – this is Borders’ last week before […]

The Vision by C. L. Talmadge

13 September 2011 Casey 1

If nothing else, The Vision, the second novel in CL Talmadge’s Green Stone of Healing series, was an interesting story. That being said, there really wasn’t anything that I liked about it. I would post the blurb to the story – except it basically outlines the entire story, even giving […]
