As a fan of the House of Night series written by mother and daughter team P.C. and Kristin Cast, I was excited to see that Kristin Cast was writing a series on her own. The premise of Amber Smoke intrigued me, and I hoped the story itself would be well-written and engaging. Unfortunately, this first…
I took a risk selecting Wolf on a Mission. It is book six in the Salvation Pack series and N.J. Walters is a completely new-to-me author. My gamble paid off in this case as I found the book to be a good point of entry for a new reader and I liked the world created…
The Siren’s Dance is a paranormal romance, unique in its setting and premise. It’s the second in the Siren Romance series by Amber Belldene which began with The Siren’s Touch. Each story is designed to be read as a standalone but characters from book one appear in book two. It combines Slavic mythology with a…
Paranormal romance doesn’t have to be serious but I expect an author to take their work seriously. I Dream of Dragons never claims to be a dark and brooding story about dragons considering its too cute title; however the humor and the character quirks intended to keep the atmosphere light all fell flat. Add to…
Soul To Keep is book 3 in Rebekah Weatherspoon’s Vampire Sorority Sisters series. I was initially intrigued by the premise, but very quickly determined that, for a few critical reasons, the story simply didn’t work for me. Things might have gone a bit better if I had started at the beginning of the series so,…
Today, AAR reviewers Maggie Boyd and Mary Skelton tackle Fire Touched, the ninth book in the Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs. Here is Maggie’s summary of the novel: Tensions between the fae, humans and the supernatural community at large are at an all-time high. Everyone now knows that magic is in the world, not…
I picked up Maeve Greyson’s latest release My Tempting Highlander because the cover description promised a story full of shifters, magic and time-travel; three elements that I enjoy in Paranormal books. But Paranormals live and die by their world-building and those same elements that drew me to the story were perhaps its Achille’s Heel. Too…
Narrated by Nicole Poole Well, it’s no secret that I’m a big fan of the Charming is the seventh book that I have listened to in this series although it is technically labeled as the 6.5 book in the series due to its novella length. And it is safe to say that the characters in…
Sweet Ruin is the sixteenth entry in the venerable Immortals After Dark series. In a market where many paranormal romance series go off the rails or lose steam between books three and five, the IAD series has grown and expanded without losing its focus on romance. Rune Darklight is part demon, part dark fey and…
I love romances set on Greek Islands, and when I learned this first book in the author’s Guardians trilogy is set on Corfu, I downloaded it immediately. Unfortunately, after the initial chapters, the book felt as if it could have been set anywhere near the sea and didn’t live up to my expectations. The book…
