The writing team of C.T. Adams and Cathy Clamp are no strangers to world-building and intriguing urban fantasy. In Magic’s Design, the first title released under the Cat Adams name, they create an intricate world partly rooted in folklore, as well as having magical qualities all its own. A modern-day woman with a healing gift…
When I started reading A Perfect Darkness, the opening novel in a series about The Offspring (please tell me I’m not the only person who started hearing rock lyrics in their head after reading that name), the author had my instant attention. Computer genius heroine who lives life as an outsider with odd paranormal gifts,…
Cindy Miles certainly knows how to write an addictive tale. I’ve been enchanted with her backlist so far and MacGowan’s Ghost is a nice addition. Her sweet style with a paranormal twist shines through each page. Allie Morgan is a something of a therapist for ghosts. Since she began seeing them on a regular basis,…
Unfortunately, if I had to choose just one word to describe Cursed, it would be convoluted. There are too many characters, with too many different powers, too many secrets, and far too many problems for just one story. Elizabeth Raines has her hands full. Her mother is on her deathbed, one sister is an addict,…
Jayne Ann Krentz has been a comfort read for me for years. While I’ve never hated any of her books, I haven’t enjoyed some of her more recent efforts as much as earlier books. I am happy to report that Running Hot, featuring a fantastic hero and heroine, is one of my favorite Krentz books…
Elizabeth Bevarly’s Ready and Willing is another one of her books set in Louisville around the time of the Kentucky Derby. This time, our heroine is a designer hat maker, one of those cool jobs that I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen outside of romance novels. Audrey Magill is surprised when she stumbles upon a…
Mortal Temptations begins a new paranormal romance series. Wait, don’t yawn – the heroes are not the usual vampires or werewolves that have been populating Romanceland in the past couple of years. Instead, they are demi-gods who have fallen prey to the wrath of Hera. When Patricia Lake finds a handsome winged man unconscious in…
I enjoy demon romances, but every once in a while the world of fantasy can be a little hard to follow and can also cross boundaries with which I am not comfortable. Eve Silver’s Demon’s Hunger does both of those things. Dr. Vivian Cairn, a professor of anthropology, goes on sabbatical when she begins to…
I hate lame-ass story premises. But you know what I hate even more? Lame-ass stories told in 249 pages and priced at $14.00. Thanks to Jason and Grant, interest in ghost hunting is at all time high. Thanks also to the massive popularity of the Ghost Hunters show, there is a fair degree of knowledge…
Nora Roberts ends her Sign of Seven trilogy with a bang. Considering that the first two books in the series lacked an engaging romance, the strength of The Pagan Stone comes from its love story. We pick up where The Hollow ends; two happy couples, two singles wanting to avoid the inevitable and a demon…
