Lover Unbound by J.R. Ward

18 July 2011 Nikki R 4

Up until the last book, Lover Revealed, I haven’t been that interested in Vishous.  He has been one of the few characters in the Black Dagger Brotherhood that I was ‘eh’ about.  Yet I finished Lover Unbound in a day (not my normal speed) and have to say it’s my […]

Memories of Envy by B. Hendee

17 July 2011 Nikki R 0

When I sat down to read Memories of Envy by Barb Hendee, I was all prepped for blood and terror and action, which is usual for vampire novels.  Sadly that’s not what happened. A reluctant predator, Eleisha Clevon is determined to locate all vampires still existing in isolation, so she […]

Queen of Dragons by S. Abé

4 July 2011 Casey 0

I loved Shana Abé’s Queen of Dragons. Loved it more than the first two books in the series. It was just that awesome. They are the stuff of glittering legend, supersensual creatures able to shape-shift from human to smoke to dragon. Now they face an enemy determined to destroy their […]

14 June 2011 Casey 1

If Julie Kagawa set out to torture her faithful readers, then she succeeded with her latest installment in her Iron Fey series: Summer’s Crossing. The wait for The Iron Knight has suddenly become that much more agonizing. A Midsummer’s Nightmare? Robin Goodfellow. Puck. Summer Court prankster, King Oberon’s right hand, bane […]

Blue by L. Aronica

10 June 2011 Casey 0

Blue by Lou Aronica is a very difficult book to review. It is a very emotional book, and I’m the kind of person who has to drink gallons and gallons of water after watching Titanic to rehydrate myself.  Yet while reading Blue, I never shed a single tear. Chris Astor is […]

Masques by P. Briggs

22 May 2011 Jennifer 4

When I think of Patricia Briggs I automatically think Mercy Thompson. With her feisty attitude and interesting adventures she’s one of my favorite  Urban Fantasy heroines. And I’ll be honest, I really didn’t think to look for any other books by Mrs. Briggs. Mostly because I was content with waiting […]

The Battle Sylph by LJ McDonald

15 May 2011 Casey 1

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I first picked up The Battle Sylph, but what I got was the best debut novel of 2010.  Chock full of romance, magic, greedy villains, and heroes found in unlikely characters, The Battle Sylph has everything. He is one of many: a creature […]

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 […]

Final Crisis by G. Cox

16 August 2010 Jesse 1

Everything I know about DC comics, I learned from itsjustsomerandomguy. Well, that’s not entirely true – growing up, I watched the superman movies, laughed at reruns of Adam West’s Batman, collected playing cards from Keaton’s Batman movie, and watched the ill-fated Flash TV show. I was mainly a Marvel reader […]

The Stepsister Scheme by JC Hines

4 August 2010 Jackie 2

One of my favorite types of stories are twisted fairy tales, where an author takes a classic and gives it a makeover. Sometimes they don’t turn out all that well, but I can’t say that with The Stepsister Scheme by Jim C. Hines. It was fabulous! Cinderella–whose real name is […]
