If you’ve become jaded toward serial paranormal romances, you should give the genre one last try. Caged Warrior is an excitingly fresh beginning to what promises to be a quality new series. The story is complex and demanding, the hero is both brutal and somehow innocent, and the premise, well, that’s just insane. First the…
I love shape shifters, especially wolves. I also love the fey, most especially the Sidhe courts. So when I found a book that combined both Sidhe and shape shifters, I was delighted. Unfortunately, by the end of this book I was far less pleased. Prince Ruben of Teslinko must choose a bride. As heir to…
When I read paranormals these days, I’m looking for good worldbuilding. I’ve read too many books where the paranormal side of things feels completely unbelievable or where everything reads like a typical contemporary save only for the occasional mention of the hero’s fangs (and it is usually the hero, isn’t it?) In Soul Sucker, we…
Narrated by Tavia Gilbert Warning: mild spoilers for Once Burned I love Jeaniene Frost’s Night Huntress series and last year, I was very happy to listen to Once Burned (the first entry in the Night Prince trilogy) and get to know Vlad a little better. I liked Leila very much and enjoyed the dynamic of…
Narrated by Justine Eyre I often pick up a book by Amanda Quick when I need a sure thing—a comfortable book that is unlikely to push any emotional buttons. When I got the chance to review Crystal Gardens I was hoping for that “cup of tea on a rainy day” sort of book. Unfortunately, it…
As MaryJanice Davidson states in her (many) author’s notes, she writes flawed characters. Having an array of her characters all together makes it obvious (as Davidson herself says) that she has a thing for writing female leads who try to escape responsibility, only to find out it isn’t an option.
Most paranormals these days are a part of a series. That makes this job particularly difficult. The books you need to read that you are thrust into the middle of a series sometimes means you don’t go into the story with all the background information you need. In the case of Eternal Demon, that meant…
Anthologies are tough. Especially when the short stories are a continuation of a series. I usually try to avoid them because the romances are usually rushed and the ones that are a part of a series can leave an uninitiated reader confused. But for once, I took a chance and it was on the anthology…
I was not expecting to like this book (I know, I know – the clichéd intro). Let me be a little more truthful: I was expecting to hate this book. You see, when it comes to romance novels, I have a marked preference for historicals. Historicals have what to me is the basis of true…
Narrated by Tanya Eby I began my love of romance novels about fifteen years ago with one of Jayne Ann Krentz’s romances and immediately went on a huge glom of her backlist. Unfortunately, her recent books are a bit hit or miss for me. While I like Tanya Eby’s narration of Dream Eyes, I have…
