About Nicole

Attorney by day, Publicist for Barclay Publicity and reviewer/LE (assistant) editor by night. I'm a huge book nerd and love to read. I have 2 dogs, both Labrador retriever mixed breeds, who are very rotten and think they run the house. Let's not lie, they totally do, I just can't them know it ha ha! My usual genre is romance or urban fantasy. I love all things having to do with paranormal, with the occasional good contemp/BDSM/erotica thrown in to spice it all up.

Soul Bound by Mari Mancusi

6 May 2012 Nicole 0

I  enjoyed Blood Ties (book 6 in the Blood Coven Series) by Mari Mancusi and was pleased to get Soul Bound to review to see what shenanigans Sunny & company were up to now.  However, I was slightly disappointed in Soul Bound…that is until right at the ending. Rayne would do anything […]

Tainted Night, Tainted Blood by E.S. Moore

29 April 2012 Nicole 0

I really enjoyed E.S. Moore’s debut UF novel, To Walk the Night.  I was pleasantly surprised to get Tainted Blood, Tainted Night, so I could discover more about his world and read about what trouble the heroine, Kat, found herself in now. Kat Redding is a vampire with a job […]

Wanted: Undead or Alive by Kerrelyn Sparks

1 April 2012 Nicole 1

Wanted: Undead or Alive is the twelfth book in Kerrelyn Sparks’ Love at Stake series and features Phineas aka Dr. Phang.  I’d been wanting his book for a while as he is funny, smart and the seemingly wild boy who just needed the right female to settle him down. He’s a […]

Under Suspicion by Hannah Jayne

18 March 2012 Nicole 4

I had enjoyed the previous 2 novels in Hannah Jayne’s Underworld Detection Agency series and was excited to get to delve into Under Suspicion, the third novel.  However, I was left feeling rather disappointed. Being a human immune to magic helped Sophie Lawson get promoted. It’s also made her a major, […]

Sympathy for the Devil by Justin Gustainis

17 March 2012 Nicole 0

I was slightly intrigued with the blurb of Sympathy for the Devil when I received it for review.  I mean, an uber right wing (NO, am not knocking anyone’s political views…but bear with me a second) Senator who ends up possessed by a demon. Hmm…not something you find in a book […]

Oracle’s Moon by Thea Harrison

16 March 2012 Nicole 0

I have much love for my fellow reviewer who graciously offered to swap her ARC of Oracle’s Moon with me. Seriously, I love this series and was dying to get my hands on this book and March is just too dang on far away (ok, so yeah, “dang on” really isn’t what […]

Shadow Heir by Richelle Mead

15 March 2012 Nicole 0

I am a HUGE Richelle Mead fan. I’ll admit to having read all books in each of her 4 series.  I’ll also admit that the Dark Swan series is probably the least favorite of them all. BUT do NOT get me wrong, it is still fantastic and a great addition […]

Black Howl by Christina Henry

15 February 2012 Nicole 2

I really enjoy the Black Wings series by Christina Henry.  It’s a nice and fresh UF.  I admit it has been a while since I read the previous 2 novels in this series, so it took me about a chapter into Black Howl to recall details about the prior plots and […]

A Sliver of Shadow by Allison Pang

12 February 2012 Nicole 0

I cannot tell you just how loud I squee’d when I learned I was getting the opportunity to review A Sliver of Shadow by Allison Pang.  After reading her debut novel, A Brush of Darkness, I will totally admit to begging…er nicely asking Allison to let me beta read A Sliver […]

Nicole’s Literary Rant

25 January 2012 Nicole 2

There has been a LOT of hoopla around the internet lately (well, specifically among fellow bloggers, authors and publishing industry) about reviews. Specifically, when an author chooses, and how they choose, to comment on when we reviewers post “bad” or “negative” reviews.  If you know me, you know I have […]
