Continuing with The Eternal Kiss anthology, edited by Trisha Telep, I just finished the seventh story, The Thirteenth Step by Libby Bray, who happens to be a new author for me.  While her story was okay, it really didn’t make me want to rush out and pick up any of […]

25 April 2010 Tricia 3

I love Jeaniene Frost’s writing and this series has fast become near the top of my favorites list.  However, Destined for an Early Grave disappointed me greatly. I know some of you who read it are going *what?! how?*. Her deadly dreams leave her in grave danger Since half-vampire Cat […]

Twilight by S. Meyer

14 April 2010 Tricia 8

I wanted so much to hate Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. I really did. I have been reading vampire novels for a long time now (since before the paranormal genre really became popular) and when I heard about this author, I really thought it wasn’t going to be something I would […]

What I Would Recommend v2.0

14 April 2010 Jackie 8

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 […]
