Jeri Smith-Ready’s first novel for the Luna imprint, Eyes of Crow, is an accessible read about a young woman dealing with her powers about knowing when Death comes to a person’s door. That said, the plot isn’t altogether exciting, and the heroine can best be described as somewhat dull. Rhia possesses the powers of the…
Imagine you’re me… The new Kinley MacGregor comes in the mail. While not a fan of her alter ego Sherrilyn Kenyon, you have enjoyed her historical romances in the past. They might have been a shade wallpaper-esque, but were entertaining reads. Knowing that MacGregor has now stepped into the legend of Arthur and Camelot, a…
I loved Ms. Snyder’s first Luna book (Poison Study) so much that I was counting the months and days until the sequel came out. Imagine my disappointment when I got the book and didn’t love it like I had the first. What was fresh and sparkling in book one came through as somewhat forced in…
Rarely have I disliked a heroine as much as Cordelia Hardcastle. Had this not been a review book, I would never have finished it, which I find depressing because Susan Krinard used to be one of my favorite authors. Sadly, I haven’t enjoyed many of her recent books for one reason or another, but none…
It’s a given, for me, that any book Shana Abe creates will be a beautifully written, lyrical story that captures all your senses. She could probably turn my grocery list into some type of poetry. But is that enough? No. If there isn’t enough plot and character dimension, all the lush descriptions would fall to…
My first romance novel was Karen Marie Moning’s Beyond the Highland Mist. I stumbled on it by accident and soaked it up. Maybe not the best choice for a first-timer, but it hooked me and here I am today, addicted to the romantic written word. I will always be grateful to Ms. Moning for this….
I’m always surprised when an author can work so totally for me in one book or series and completely leave me behind when it comes to another. When the Heartmates series began, Ms. Owens was publishing with a small press but I sought the books out because they sounded like something I’d enjoy. Not so…
I have a process when it comes to new books for reviewing or my own personal TBR pile. I will read the first couple of pages of each new book just to get a feel of the storyline. When I picked up Reason to Believe and read the prologue, I knew I had to read…
The back blurb of Seduced by Magic compares McCray’s books to Laurell K Hamilton’s, and perhaps that’s true, but one thing that completely disturbs me about this series is the skanky villain sex. Yuck and double yuck. The villains in this series are nasty and gross and I certainly don’t want to spend intimate moments…
It’s good to be the King, but even supreme rulers suffer from burnout. After eons of ruling the netherworld, Lucifer is tired of Hell and wants to find his own little bit of Heaven. However, someone has to keep the demons and the damned in line, so Lucifer decides to test his three sons to…
