Twelve by Jasper Kent is one of those books that you savor while reading. Unlike most vampire stories out today, Twelve is a blood and guts thriller where the vampires are actually predators. The voordalak–creature of legend, the tales of which have terrified Russian children for generations. But for Captain […]
Song of Seduction opened up my eyes to how good historical romances can be. So in my quest to find more books as amazing as that one I came across Sinful by Charlotte Featherstone. In Victorian England vice of every kind can be purchased, and Matthew, the Earl of Wallingford, […]
Regency books aren’t really my thing, so going into The Rest Falls Away, the first novel in Colleen Gleason’s Gardella Vampire Chronicles, I wasn’t sure if I was going to like it or not. I found myself pleasantly surprised, as I not only liked it but plan on getting the […]
Paranormal Romance has been my romance of choice for the past year or so. I love the brooding werewolves, the mysterious vampires, or vice-virsa. I’ve come to realize that I’ve developed somewhat of a comfort zone in the genre. So, when I went to read the blurb for Song of […]
When I first started Literary Escapism, I wrote up a list of recommendations based on what I had read up to that point. Two years and over 200 books later, I think it’s time I updated my list a little, don’t you think? The one thing that hasn’t changed, whatever […]

What can I say, I’m in a romance mood, so I started off my anthology binge with Four Dukes and a Devil, one of the new romance anthologies that recently came out. Now, I haven’t read a lot (or any) of Cathy Maxwell, Elaine Fox, Sophia Nash and Tracy Anne […]
As the final novel in the Gardella Vampire Chronicles by Colleen Gleason, As Shadows Fade was a superb way of ending the series. While Sebastian Vioget appears to be both the perfect warrior and lover to ensure the Gardella Legacy, Victoria cannot forget Max Pesaro – the former slayer still […]
I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised with What Would Jane Austen Do? by Laurie Brown. I generally shy away from anything Austen related since I tend to encounter the Austen fanatics when I talk about her, but this was good. Surely Jane Austen would know how to handle […]
The second novel in Catherine Kean’s Knight series, A Knight’s Temptation was a good divergence from my normal paranormal read. Aldwin Treynarde is a squire who, in his youth, was banished from home for shooting Lord Geoffrey de Lanceau with a crossbow bolt and nearly killing the man. Later on, […]
