Falling to Ash by K. Mahoney

2 January 2010 Jackie 10

I’m jumping on the bandwagon and starting to do little ‘reviewettes’ (as I’ve seen them called) on short stories found in anthologies. I’ll still review an entire anthology at one time, but only the ones with four or five stories. For those with bigger collections, I think this will be […]

Carpe Corpus by R. Caine

24 July 2009 Jackie 1

The latest novel in Rachel Caine’s Morganville Vampires series, Carpe Corpus is another great novel that completely sucked me in. In the small college town of Morganville, vampires and humans lived in (relative) peace—until all the rules got rewritten when the evil vampire Bishop arrived, looking for the lost book […]

The Vampire Academy by R. Mead

19 July 2009 Jackie 18

Richelle Mead has been one of those authors that I’ve been constantly hearing about and have yet to try simple because of my TBR pile.  She’s one of quite a few actually, but since I’m trying to get my TBR stack under control, I’ve been holding off on a lot […]

Lord of Misrule by R. Caine

18 June 2009 Jackie 1

The fifth book in the Morganville Vampire series by Rachel Caine, Lord of Misrule wasn’t exactly what I was expecting. In the college town of Morganville, vampires and humans coexist in (relatively) bloodless harmony. Then comes Bishop, the master vampire who threatens to abolish all order, revive the forces of […]

Starfinder by J. Marco

31 March 2009 Jackie 3

Starfinder is the first novel in an exciting new fantasy series by John Marco.  As a new author for me, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I have to say that I am excited for this new series. Steam trains and electricity are rapidly changing the world. Moth of […]

Feast of Fools by R. Caine

11 March 2009 Jackie 3

No, I’m not backed up on reviews. I really did finish two books today. The fourth Morganville Vampires novel, Feast of Fools was completely captivating. In the town of Morganville, vampires and humans live in relative peace. Student Claire Danvers has never been convinced, though—especially with the arrival of Mr. […]

Midnight Alley by R. Caine

11 March 2009 Jackie 1

I don’t know what it is about young adult fiction, but whenever I’m getting stuck in a reading rut, I can usually count on a YA title to bring me out of it. It doesn’t always work, but Rachel Caine’s Midnight Alley did it for me this time. Claire Danvers’s […]

Ink Exchange by M. Marr

5 March 2009 Jackie 7

Since I just read Fragile Eternity (and loved it), I felt that I shouldn’t put off reading Ink Exchange and I’m glad I didn’t. 17-year-old Leslie knows nothing of faeries or their intrigues. When she is attracted to an eerily beautiful tattoo of eyes and wings, all she knows is […]

Fragile Eternity by M. Marr

28 February 2009 Jackie 8

The third novel in Melissa Marr’s Fae series, Fragile Eternity is actually the sequel to Wicked Lovely. Seth never expected he would want to settle down with anyone—but that was before Aislinn. She is everything he’d ever dreamed of, and he wants to be with her forever. Forever takes on […]

Midnight Sun by S. Meyer

16 February 2009 Jackie 30

So I finally got around to reading the partial draft of Midnight Sun that Stephenie Meyer has on her website (the one she wants everyone to see instead of the one that was illegal distributed).  There’s only about 260 pages, but from what there is, it seems to go in […]
