I like ghost stories. And, even if this one is a bit plot-y, it’s still a fun read. Gazillionaire hotel owner Alexa learns she has in her family portfolio a German castle rebuilt during the 1940s on an isolated island off the coast of Florida. Always mysteriously drawn to castles – not to even mention…
Thunder Moon is the eighth tale in a series that I’ve been meaning to take a look at. That seems to be the case with many series nowadays, especially the ever-present paranormals. However, none of us has time in abundance and I don’t know that I’ll be spend much more of it on this series….
This is Nalini Singh’s fourth and best novel in her Psy/Changeling series. Ms. Singh is one of the more talented authors I have come across in a very long time, and Mine to Possess shows why she is at the top of her game. Clay Bennett, a member of the San Francisco Darkriver Leopard Clan,…
Jayne Ann Krentz has been a comfort read author for me for years. I’ve re-read some of her books so many times that they are falling apart. Part of what’s comforting for me is knowing what to expect. In particular, I can count on witty dialogue and intelligent heroes and heroines. While these are present…
I was going to give Popp’s latest a somewhat higher grade until I went back to re-read a bit to refresh my memory. Every frustrated arghh! returned tenfold. A heroine who is supposed to be kick-ass but who’s nothing but a bratty, immature, frequently foolish wannabe, one more noble vampire hero who nobly doesn’t drink…
My reading year has definitely gotten off to a good start. I’ve read satisfying historicals and now I get to review the best paranormal I’ve come across in ages. In Betrayed, Jamie Leigh Hansen combines intense romance with vivid and unusual (that’s right, no vampires or shapeshifters!) world-building to create a book that makes quite…
If you are a reader who likes her romances sweet, inspirational, and just a bit sappy, then Catherine Anderson is just the writer you have been looking for. She reminds me a bit of LaVyrle Spencer. Both authors are earnest and sincere – so much so that you almost hate to point out problems in…
Okay, mix an unusually heavy dose of info-dumping with some not very sexy sex and you have a book that’s easy to skip – and difficult to review. Why? Because this book is dull. And dull books often make for dull reviews. The off-the-charts level of info-dumpery here is especially puzzling since this is only…
While I normally dislike paranormals, there are certain plot elements – fantasy, science fiction, paranormal – that I enjoy, including ghosts, benevolent witches, and psychics. Beyond Fearless has a heavy psychic/science fiction plot that is intriguing, however, the story as a whole fails to significantly stand out among its competition. “Magic Anna” Ridgeway is a…
I’ve read some of Shayne’s novels about witches and was very impressed with her writing, so I was excited to read Demon’s Kiss, the first book in a new vampire trilogy. The story began strongly, with intelligent writing and an exciting plot, but became increasingly less enjoyable as time went on. Unfortunately, I was much…
