Ever jump into a movie about halfway through and spend a good deal of time trying to catch up and figure out just what is happening? And then when the ending comes, you are left confused and annoyed? This was the sensation I had while reading My Immortal Assassin. Here the author creates a world…
What the world needs is another werewolf series, right? Well, until I read Thompson’s book, I would have answered with a resounding “Not!” But having read the book, I’ve changed my mind. There’s definitely a place for Thompson’s new Wild About You series in the realm of hairy, fang-toothed literature. Although author Emma Gavin’s best-selling…
I have heard a lot about Lynn Viehl’s Kyndred series, but Frostfire was my first foray into her very complicated world of vampires, werewolves, and other paranormal beings. While readers who have read the previous books will probably not have any trouble with the setup, I found that I had to concentrate in order to…
While I found this book mediocre at best, Ms. Beck has potential as a creative romance writer. However, since this is the third in the Shadow Keepers series and my first book by the author, I could have used a glossary for all the different creatures and alliances for readers like me who pick up…
Even though Christmas is nearly upon us and I’ve been reading Christmas stories for a couple of months, I felt the need to add one more Christmas anthology to my reading list. With its various paranormal creatures and fun stories, Winter Wishes definitely hit the spot for me.
While I’ve read a few of Christina Dodd’s historicals, I hadn’t read any of her paranormals until now.

In what appears to be a near alternate reality, good versus evil collide as The Chosen,…
Sometimes I read a book, and it’s so incredibly good or so incredibly bad that the review practically writes itself. Not so here. This novella definitely has its good parts, but there just isn’t enough there. It really could have been enjoyable, but in its current form, it reads more like an outline than a…
One of my favorite quotes is from English poet D. H. Lawrence: “They say the sea is cold but the sea contains the hottest blood of all.” The quote refers to whales but could as easily apply to the Krackeni, the mer people of the world of Dirk and Steele. In this, the tenth novel…
Taken by Midnight is eighth in Adrian’s Midnight Breed series. As this is my first of the series, my review may be drastically different from one who has read all the books. Lara Adrian did an excellent job of making the world of The Order come alive to a first-time reader. However, if I had…
I love paranormal novels, but I must say that it’ll be nice when there aren’t quite so many paranormal series out there. Forged of Shadows is the second novel in the Marked Souls series. While it was entertaining enough and didn’t have much to detract from it, I wasn’t exactly impressed either, and wouldn’t offer…
