Ashes to Ashes by J. Armintrout

17 August 2007 Jackie 0

So I just finished reading Ashes to Ashes by Jennifer Armintrout. It was kind of anti-climatic in my opinion. You get geared up for this big fight scene and then it’s over rather quickly. So quickly it seems that I skimmed through it [the fight scene] without realizing it. I’ve […]

The Turning & Possesion by J. Armintrout

29 June 2007 Jackie 0

I came across a new author the other day and I’m not entirely sure what I think of her books yet. Jennifer Armintrout has a series called Blood Ties. The first book in the series is called the Turning and it introduces us to the main character – Dr. Carrie […]

Storm Front by J. Butcher

Earlier this year, the Sci-Fi channel ran a new show called The Dresden Files. It was one of those mid season original series that only had about a dozen episodes, but Jesse & I were both impressed and I know I can’t wait for it to come back next season. […]

the Harlequin by LK Hamilton

25 June 2007 Jackie 0

I can stop pacing the apartment now!  I finally got my hands on the latest Anita Blake book – the Harlequin – and I have to say, it was well worth the wait. The succubus/incubus relationship that has been predominate in the last couple of books takes a back seat […]

For a Few Demons More by K. Harrison

6 June 2007 Jackie 1

For a Few Demons More by Kim Harrison is definitely worth a read. The book picks up about four months after the ending of A Fistful of Charms with a few new werewolf murders. Nobody is convinced that the focus went over the bridge in Michigan and someone has started […]

No Humans Involved by K. Armstrong

4 June 2007 Jackie 2

The seventh novel in Kelley Armstrong’s Otherworld series – No Humans Involved – is narrated by the necromancer, Jamie Vegas. I really like this series for the fact that Armstrong doesn’t use the same narrator for each of her novels. While the cast of characters remains the same, the plot […]

The Dark-Hunter Series by S. Kenyon

1 June 2007 Jackie 0

I’ve been reading the Dark-Hunter series by Sherrilyn Kenyon and I am almost done with it. The series is actually pretty good and you don’t have to read them in order to know what is going on. Each book can stand on it’s own, however, it includes elements from all […]

Southern Vampire Mysteries by C. Harris

4 June 2006 Jackie 2

I am trying to think of the best way to describe this series. It’s fun, quirky, and nothing like Buffy the Vampire Slayer. First off, the main character, Sookie Stackhouse, is a barmaid in Bon Temps, Louisiana (picture Mayberry, but a little bigger). She’s always been a little on the […]

Industrial Magic & Haunted by K. Armstrong

29 May 2006 Jackie 2

In Dime Store Magic, Paige Winterbourne was introduced to her new love interest, Lucas Cortez. As the youngest song of a Cabal CEO (think Bill Gates with no morals/ethics/charities), Lucas wants to get away from the family business. In book four of Kelley Armstrong’s “Women of the Otherworld” series, Industrial […]
