Left Hand Magic by Nancy A. Collins

31 March 2012 Nikki R 0

After just finishing Nancy A Collins Right Hand Magic, I wasn’t all that excited to read the next book in the Golgotham series, Left Hand Magic, but I gave it a try anyway.  It was easier yet harder to read this book. Since I knew what to expect, it meant […]

JEnge-Wolf Age

The Wolf Age by James Enge

30 March 2012 Nikki R 1

Magic, werewolves, adventure…I thought that was a good combination, but not this time.  I tried  to give The Wolf Age by James Enge (#3 in the Morlock Ambrosius series) a chance, I made it all the way to page 362 (there are 451 pages) before I tossed my hands in […]

LJMcDonald-Shattered Sylph

The Shattered Sylph by L. J. McDonald

28 February 2012 Casey 2

Out of all the sylphs from The Battle Sylph, Ril was by far my favorite. He essentially got his own story in The Shattered Sylph and it was everything I wanted and more. Kidnapped by slavers, Lizzie Petrule was dragged in chains across the Great Sea to the corrupt empire […]

Blood and Bullets by James R. Tuck

17 February 2012 Nikki R 5

I’m starting this review before I’ve finished Blood and Bullets, because I am enjoying it THAT much.  To say you won’t be disappointed if you pick up this book is an understatement. He lives to kill monsters. He keeps his city safe. And his silver hollow-points and back-from-the-dead abilities help […]

The Scorpions Strike by C. L. Talmadge

15 January 2012 Casey 0

I wasn’t really sure what I expected when I started reading The Scorpions Strike by C. L. Talmadge. The first book was an interesting read but it didn’t capture my attention and I didn’t read the second book of the series. While I can say that I didn’t hate The Scorpions Strike,  it […]

Acacia by David Anthony Durham

30 November 2011 Nicole 3

I love urban fantasy novels and I’ll admit to really never have read a true fantasy/high fantasy novel.  So, I was a bit nervous when asked to read The Sacred Band, which is book 3 in the Acacia trilogy by David Anthony Durham.  After doing just a cursory review of […]

The Fat Cat by Edie Ramer

20 November 2011 Casey 1

The Halloween themed anthology Entangled contains novellas by authors I know and love, and by authors I have yet to try. Edie Ramer was one of those new -to-me authors, but after reading The Fat Cat, Ramer’s contribution to the anthology, she has become one of those authors that I love. In a […]

House Name by Michelle West

19 November 2011 Nikki R 1

I was digging through my big box of books to review and saw House Name by Michelle West, which is the third book in The House War series.  I know you aren’t supposed to judge a book by its cover but this cover is kinda cool and it’s why I chose […]

The Griffin’s Flight by K.J. Taylor

8 November 2011 Nikki R 0

I love mythology, I love history, but The Griffin’s Flight by K.J. Taylor kicked my butt and took me weeks to read.  It really was a love/hate situation.  I told Jackie, it’s like watching Dancing with Wolves, the movie was good but good gravy it was long and all of […]

The Iron Knight by Julie Kagawa

10 October 2011 Casey 1

I have loved Ash since the very first time Meghan laid eyes on him. So it’s no surprise that I found his book, The Iron Knight, to be sheer perfection.  My name—my True Name—is Ashallayn’darkmyr Tallyn. I am the last remaining son of Mab, Queen of the Unseelie Court. And I […]
