Slade is the last cowboy-vampire Johnson brother as yet unmated. He’s the technological genius of the resistance fighters known as Renegades, a group comprised of the Johnsons, weres and others (?) who try to keep the evil Sanctuary in check. But where is an exhausted, overworked, and under-appreciated vampire expected to meet his mate when…
Psychic FBI agent Desiree Lincoln works with a team of other psychic agents recruited by Special Agent Taylor Jones to solve difficult cases. Desiree’s talents allow her to speak to the dead. As The Departed opens, Desiree (Dez) arrives on the scene just as Taylor’s team is about to invade the home of a serial…
Why do I find errors pertaining to academe so annoying? They can kill an otherwise good book for me. Immortal Hope is a) full of such errors and b) is not an otherwise good book. Anne MacPherson has just moved into a new home in Atchison, Kansas. She’s a doctoral candidate studying the Knights Templar…
Haunted Warrior doesn’t seem to know what type of world it is building. Is the hero a ghost? Is he an immortal? Is he a warlock? He seems to spend time as all three, and the unfortunate truth about this book was that I never really cared to know the answer because nothing in the…
One advantage that romance series have over other genre series is that they can change up the characters. While the Harry Potter books require a deft writer who can show us both character growth and story progression, a romance author can introduce a new couple every novel and only minimally progress her overall story arc…
Light and fluffy paranormals sometimes really don’t work for me. Humor is so subjective and mine tends to lean quite a bit in the, let’s say, “warped” direction.

I know I’m not alone when I say that I am so over vampires. And werewolves. And demons. And faeries. I crave originality. I long for fantasies that don’t leverage the tired old clichés of those supernatural beings. So you can imagine my glee when I found this urban fantasy that delivers on its promise…
When it comes to plot, sometimes less is more. This is certainly the case with The Lure of Song and Magic, which is bogged down by a convoluted storyline that in the end, didn’t make much sense. Dylan “Oz” Oswin is a fabulously successful Hollywood producer with a tragic personal life: first, his wife runs…
Kresley Cole is one of the few writers I know the release dates for and usually pre-order her books so I can start reading that very day. Needless to say, I’m slightly addicted to the IAD series and have been waiting for Lothaire for a long, long time and I wasn’t disappointed. Lothaire, The Enemy…
I still love a good vampire story. I know some (many?) are sick of blood suckers, but I like the cold, noble creatures of the night when they are done right. Their inherent danger factor can really increase the tension of forbidden love. Their elegant, everlasting youth makes them very desirable. Their endless association with…
