Wild Fire by C. Feehan

31 December 2010 Casey 1

If I had to describe Christine Feehan’s Wild Fire with one word, I would use ‘explosive.’  The chemistry between Isabeau and Conner is so hot it practically melts the words right off the paper. And the fight scenes erupt like a bomb in your face with little forewarning. Leopard shifter […]

The Sleeping Beauty by M. Lackey

30 December 2010 Casey 3

As a lover of fairy tales, I was slightly apprehensive about reading Mercedes Lackey’s The Sleeping Beauty. Some authors simply replicate the overused cliches and “traditional” Disneyesque characteristics, but I shouldn’t have worried. Mercedes Lackey created a vivid world full of classic fairytale elements with her own unique, personal twist to it all in her latest addition […]

The Dream Thief by S. Abé

29 December 2010 Casey 1

This review is really hard for me to write, because I so wanted to like The Dream Thief by Shana Abé. When I first read it, I was left feeling like I had only skimmed the surface of what could have been a great novel.  The Dream Thief wasn’t exactly lacking […]

Unraveled by G. Showalter

26 December 2010 Casey 0

The long awaited sequel to Gena Showalter’s Intertwined, Unraveled held all the key ingredients for an epic novel: hot romances, back-to-back fight scenes and a plot so twisted it’ll keep you guessing until the very end. Since coming to Crossroads, Oklahoma, former outcast Aden Stone has been living the good […]

Hunger by JM Kessler

25 December 2010 Casey 0

If there’s one thing I can say about Jackie Morse Kessler’s Hunger, it’s that it made me hungry. There was never not a time when food wasn’t being discussed or thought about, which in turn made me think about food constantly and made me hungry. That’s not to say food […]

Ghost Town by R. Caine

24 December 2010 Casey 0

The latest installment of Rachel Caine’s Morganville Vampires series, Ghost Town, was by far the best novel since the first one, Glass House. While developing a new system to maintain Morganville’s defenses, student Claire Danvers discovers a way to amplify vampire mental powers. Through this, she’s able to re-establish the […]

Blue Moon by L. Handeland

6 December 2010 Casey 0

One of the ways I can always tell I’m going to love a book is if I fall hook, line and sinker for the first line and don’t resurface until the very end. Lori Handeland’s Blue Moon sucked me in and I didn’t want to try to leave the seductively […]

Winter’s Passage by J. Kagawa

5 December 2010 Casey 0

I’m Team Ash all the way, so when I first realized that Winter’s Passage, a short novella between The Iron King and The Iron Daughter by Julie Kagawa, was about Meghan and Ash’s journey to the Winter Court, I was excited. Finally, Ash and Meghan would get some one-on-one time, […]

Warrior by Z. Archer

4 December 2010 Casey 2

Apart from Lisa’s review, I’d heard nothing but wonderful things about Warrior by Zoe Archer. So I decided to read it to see how good it really was. Unfortunately, Warrior didn’t live up to its reputation. The vicious attack Capt. Gabriel Huntley witnesses in a dark alley sparks a chain […]

Clockwork Angel by C. Clare

3 December 2010 Casey 2

The long-awaited Clockwork Angel, the first book in The Infernal Devices, the prequel trilogy to Cassandra Clare’s the Mortal Instruments trilogy, won’t disappoint her fans nor turn away the new readers. Tessa Gray descends into Victorian London’s dark underworld to search for her missing brother, with the mysterious Shadowhunters as […]
