Ah, a good paranormal. It’s not that they’re hard to find, per se, or even that they seem overshadowed by mediocrity (which you can say about all fiction and its subgenres in general. I think it’s more that the degree of fantasy (or outrageousness) inherent to paranormals makes mediocrity more apparent. But it also makes…
When I first saw this book as an option for a review book, I got very excited. I leapt at the chance since the series had been near the top of my TBR for a while. Maybe it should have stayed there a little longer to age to perfection, like fine wine. In Ember’s Kiss…
Under normal circumstances, abducting a vampire to achieve your goals probably is not the best idea. This is especially true if the vampire you kidnap happens to be a member of the Argeneau family. Unfortunately for Paul Jones the vampire he has chosen to abduct is an Argeneau and her family wants her back. …
I have come to a point that I am pretty cynical about my paranormal romances and very picky. Only a select few move to that cherished shelf of favorites. So I rarely expect a new author to make that cut. But Juliana Stone’s League of the Guardians has secured itself a spot! Rowan…
The latest entry in the author’s KGI series about a group of paramilitary operatives is an uneven read, combining hot sex with infrequent action and some downright bizarre elements. Some made my eyes pop. And some might have made me cringe. The latest assignment for the band of hunks concerns retrieving Grace Peterson,…
It is not often that authors revisit the couples from a previous book. With Lord’s Fall, Harrison revisits her couple from the first book of the Elder Races series, Dragon Bound. Fans of that book will want to catch up on Dragos and Pia. Dragos is the leader of the Wyr demesne and…
While I am a huge fan of J.R. Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood, I had never taken a chance at her Fallen Angels. While there are definite differences in the tone and story lines, the familiarity of Ward’s writing style was able to bring me into the Fallen Angel fold. Matthias is a bad…
Sometimes authors can craft the characterization of vampires, demons, and shapeshifters so they do actually seem truly genuine and real. The characters in Secret of the Wolf are not one-dimensional, but they never felt truly authentic. I felt detached from their plight for most of the story. Victoria Joseph and her brother Randall…
I enjoyed the last book in the series and was excited to review this third entry featuring Charley Davidson, private investigator and grim reaper. Unfortunately, this didn’t live up to the previous book. Yes, all of the characters I enjoyed in the previous book are back again. But while I found the dialog in the…
Though I like Historical romance, generally paranormal is my preference. Since I liked what I saw Jennifer Ashley do with historical romance in the Highland Pleasures series, I figured I would see what she could do with paranormal. What I discovered is that sometimes an author’s voice really works with one genre and doesn’t quite…
