I think I’ve just found my fun read for Halloween. No Conventional Miss is a pleasant debut with just a touch of the supernatural to it. It’s rough around the edges in a few spots, but still a very worthy read. <!– var browName = navigator.appName; var SiteID = 1; var ZoneID = 4; var…
I have a confession. A reading confession: I don’t like ensemble casts in books. Every so often it works because the story being told is just so darn epic it needs a whole host of heroes and heroines. Think Lord of the Rings. But for the most part I prefer that the story concentrate primarily…
I know I tend to be a bit of a stick-in-the-mud when it comes to the sub-genres I read, so I occasionally try to branch out a bit. I’ve enjoyed a few Historical Paranormals lately, so when I came across The Curse of Lord Stanstead, I thought I’d give it a go, even though I…
A shape-shifting dragon-lady in late Victorian Scotland is not my normal cup of tea (well, the late Victorian part is, but not the dragon-lady part!) but I do occasionally like to pick up something a bit different, and this seemed like a good prospect. Night of the Highland Dragon is the third book in a…
I loved the first book in Kristen Callihan’s Darkest London series (Firelight) and was eager to jump into book two, Moonglow. The things I’d enjoyed so much about the first story are very much in evidence in this one – the Victorian setting, a terrific storyline, strong characterisation and the amazing chemistry the author creates between…
The Wherlockes are back in Hannah Howell’s latest novel about the outcast family with psychic abilities. While the story is a solid one, this novel lacks some of the oomph of the earlier books in this series and took a turn toward the predictable. But for all its faults, it is still an above average…
Warrior’s Curse is the third book in the Imnada Brotherhood series. Considering that I’ve read about 90% of my favorite series out of order, I figured I could get by with this one. Normally, it seems to me, paranormal authors do a good job explaining the workings of their worlds in every book they write….
Lowe Magnusson returns to San Francisco with a mythical amulet that he recently unearthed in Egypt. Hadley Bacall is sent to secure it from him for her father, a museum curator. Hadley’s father had four crossbar pieces that went with the amulet, and he wants to assemble the whole shebang. Unfortunately, Hadley’s late mother bequeathed…
At first glance, The Magic Between Us looks like one of those books that could go one of two ways. It could end up being a cute, sweet story or saccharine enough to make a reader’s teeth hurt. Thankfully, readers will find a lot more of the former in this tale of star-crossed lovers caught…
Much as I love good, old-fashioned historical romance, I will admit that every once in a long while I tire of it. I long for something unusual. Sometimes my longing is satisfied simply by reading a contemporary romance. Sometimes I’m driven farther afield, and I look into the non-fiction section of my TBR pile. This…
