Do you make a wish when you blow out your birthday cake candles? When you see a falling star? I love wishing, although I can’t say I quite believe in it anymore. Imagine if you had the power to make children’s wishes come true. That would be a pretty awesome job. The heroine of this…
God, I’m glad that’s over. It’s not killingly bad. And I didn’t want to hit any of the characters over the head. But it was boring. No, make that was stultifyingly, mind-numbingly, excruciatingly painful to read. And you can bet your sweet fanny I’m not reading anything else by this author. So the…
One of the best parts about reviewing books is discovering new authors. Sometimes I pick a book and it takes me a while to motivate myself to read it because I am just not sure I am going to like it. When the book that I was procrastinating on ends up being a great read,…
Communication, the experts tell us, is the key to a good relationship. Romance seems to run on bad communication – from the Big Mis to the straight out lies for their lover’s good, our heroes and heroines rarely work out their communication problems before the end of the novel. I have no problem with that…
My favorite paranormal romances are the funny ones: No larger-than-life heroes that take themselves too seriously, no heroines that can’t wait to be bonded, no destruction of the world looming. Instead, I like amusing little magics and the zany situations that occur when you throw magical elements into the mundane world. This explains why I…
I am apparently not the only person who watched Prison Break who also loves romance. I’ve read several novels recently about innocent convicts involved in government conspiracies. This one throws in the added element of the paranormal. Our ex-firefighter/paramedic hero has developed a new talent since the warehouse fire that began the downward spiral of…
One of the great things about paranormal romance series is that revisiting that world and those characters feels almost like a homecoming. I’ve spent so much time in Bon Temps over the years, been with Sookie through calm and danger (mostly danger) so often, reading a new novel is like being with good friends. As…
I was really looking forward to the next book in the Shadowlands series, Kiss of the Goblin Prince. Unfortunately, all the magic seemed to be gone from this installment and I think the enchanting adult fairy tale of The Goblin King was a one hit wonder. Dai King has spent millennia cursed as a goblin…
The omnipresent paranormal romance series often loses its luster after the first few books, but Elisabeth Naughton’s Eternal Guardians series is still going strong with book four, Enraptured. Upon the capture of his brother, Gryphon’s, soul, the demon hybrid Orpheus is tapped by the gods to take Gryphon’s place in the ranks of the Eternal…
I’ll admit it. I’m a Nalini Singh Guild Hunter series fangirl. It’s impossible not to just eat up the stories about the immensely powerful angels, their vampire minions, and the humans who hunt them. This collection of short stories successfully provides interesting backstory for the characters we already know. Three of the stories were published…
