Tangled Threads by J. Estep

31 May 2011 Casey 0

Reading Tangled Threads by Jennifer Estep was like having Christmas in April. The fact that it’s Christmas in Ashland, where Tangled Threads takes place, merely enhanced that feeling. I’d rather face a dozen lethal assassins any night than deal with something as tricky, convoluted, and fragile as my feelings. But […]

RAppleton-Mysterious Lady Law

The Mysterious Lady Law by R. Appleton

29 May 2011 Trish 0

Lady Law, a brilliant investigator or a beautiful, arrogant fraud? At first I thought that I couldn’t possibly cheer on such a pompous, arrogant woman, then I realized that she wasn’t going to be a protagonist. Once I realized this (after 3 chapters), I could finally finish The Mysterious Lady […]

To Kill a Warlock by H.P. Mallory

27 May 2011 Tricia 1

To say that I was very surprised by how much I enjoyed To Kill a Warlock by HP Mallory, would be a huge understatement! The cover is spunky and unique and I liked it very much.  To Kill a Warlock was an incredibly fantastic read from start to finish. My […]

Unseen by R. Caine

19 May 2011 Tricia 0

With such an action packed, emotionally driven first two books in Rachel Caine’s Outcast series – I had come to expect a great deal more than I got with Unseen. That’s not to say that it was bad, but it just fell a bit short of my expectations. After Cassiel […]

Unknown by R. Caine

18 May 2011 Tricia 0

I was so excited with Undone that I rushed right into Unknown, and boy was it just as good and frustrating! (because of the cliffhanger endings!) Living among mortals, the djinn Cassiel has developed a reluctant affection for them-especially for Warden Luis Rocha. As the mystery deepens around the kidnapping […]

Roadkill by R. Thurman

14 May 2011 Casey 0

After reading Rob Thurman’s The Grimrose Path and feeling indifferent about it (my review here), I was hesitant to read Roadkill, but I really shouldn’t have been because I fell for Cal Leandros hard and fast. It’s time to lock, load, and hit the road… Once, while half-human Cal Leandros […]

Taken by the Others by J. Haines

13 May 2011 Jackie 0

When we first met Shia Waynest, she was getting her feet wet in the world of the Others in Hunted By The Others.  Now with Jess Haines’ second H&W Investigations novel, Taken By The Others, she’s exploring the vampires a little more. Once, New York P.I. Shiarra Waynest’s most pressing […]

AMayer-The Falling Machine

The Falling Machine by A. Mayer

8 May 2011 Jennifer 5

When Jackie first offered me The Falling Machine by Andrew Mayer I really had no idea what to expect. I’d never heard of the book or it’s author, but I’m always willing to try something new. Also, it didn’t hurt that I’ve been having a good streak with steampunk novels. […]

MHodder-Strange Affair of Spring Heeled Jack

Strange Affair of Spring Heeled Jack by M. Hodder

6 May 2011 Trish 1

When it comes to steampunk and time travel, I gotta say that The Strange Affair of Spring Heeled Jack by Mark Hodder does it right. Sir Richard Francis Burton–explorer, linguist, scholar, and swordsman; his reputation tarnished; his career in tatters; his former partner missing and probably dead. Algernon Charles Swinburne–unsuccessful […]

Undone by R. Caine

5 May 2011 Tricia 4

I would squeal in delight to explain to you just how much I loved Undone by Rachel Caine, but since you couldn’t possibly hear it I suppose that won’t do. Once she was Cassiel, a Djinn of limitless power. Now, she has been reshaped in human flesh as punishment for […]
