The Restorer

I thoroughly enjoyed the unique premise of a graveyard restorer and the gothic feel of this book. The tantalizing ending did war with my need for closure, but what really changed this to qualified recommendation was the addition of the overused serial killer plot. Amelia saw her first ghost at the age of nine, as…

Burning Skies by Caris Roane

Just when you thought your eyeballs would bleed if you read another another paranormal romance featuring a warrior cadre, author Caris Roane pops up and puts a fresh spin on the plot device. Her Guardians of Ascension series has a lot of the elements paranormal fans will recognize, but she manages to surpass the same-old,…

Eternal Prey

Eternal Prey starts strong with an action-packed scene that grabs attention and pulls you right into the world building of the Gods of the Night series. But as events slow, the plot bogs down with a multitude of characters, unclear storylines, and fantastical elements that went above and beyond what I’m willing to buy into….

Vowed in Shadows

The author’s Marked Souls series is one that I have followed from the beginning and the latest installment, Vowed in Shadows, certainly will not disappoint. Her deeply damaged hero and heroine prove once again that love can heal the most imperfect and tormented of souls. Exotic dancer Nim “Naughty Nymphette” Hamlin knows that she has…

Kiss of Snow by Nalini Singh

Since the introduction of Hawke, leader of the SnowDancer wolf pack, and Sienna Lauren, a Cardinal X-Psy given sanctuary with the pack, readers have been anxiously awaiting their romance. The tenth book in the series (and Ms. Singh’s first hardback) finally grants our wish. Kiss of Snow is a solid entry in Ms. Singh’s highly…

Darkfire Kiss

I love dragons. I mean, what’s not to love? They fly, they breathe fire, they are ancient and smart. Having a dragon in your book guarantees I will take a second look at it. Unfortunately, not all dragon books are worth that second look. This one assuredly wasn’t. Melissa Smith is a reporter with ethics….

Haunting Desire

I’ve enjoyed Erin Quinn’s books, both under this name and as Erin Grady, so it never occurred to me that Haunting Desire would be anything other than a good, solid read. However, this novel just wasn’t that at all. It’s not a bad book, but it lacks that certain mystical, magical quality needed to draw…

Never Again

The attention-grabbing first two chapters of Never Again revved up my anticipation for an out of the ordinary and notable story, especially since I have a soft spot for books with magic. However, by page 80, my interest splintered as fast as a glass dish hitting the floor. The premise seemed excellent: magical betrayed by…

Vampire Mine

With each new author, I start their book with feelings of anticipation and trepidation. Will this be the beginning of a beautiful love affair with the author on my part? Or will it crash and burn so spectacularly that it makes me cringe? Vampire Mine did not evoke either reaction from me. The best word…
