Wild Thing
Described by the publisher as a paranormal anthology about the “wild instinct in everyone”, this trade paperback hits some very high notes, indeed, along with a few bewildering ones. But more about that later.
The Dark Gate by Pamela Palmer
Pamela Palmer’s debut romance The Dark Gate is the best of Silhouette’s new Nocturne line that I’ve read so far. It benefits from having an intriguing plot that avoids most of the usual paranormal tropes (no vampires here!) as well as a genuinely unsettling villain who actually gave me the creeps. A rapist is on…
Night Life by Elizabeth Guest
I liked this one. Make that I really liked this one. Fresh, pleasingly erotic, and totally free of anything to do with Regency England or an alliance of extra large paranormal warriors – in short, unlike about 95% of the books out there right now – Elizabeth Guest’s Night Life had me from its very…
Visions of Heat by Nalini Singh
This author just moved to the top of my auto-buy list. I loved Slave to Sensation, but had that fear in the back of my mind that maybe it was a one shot deal. Wrong! I’m happy to say I loved Visions of Heat, and from the looks of the teaser in the back, I…
Demon’s Delight
A variety of paranormal creatures populate Demon’s Delight, an anthology featuring four short stories. One story is terrible, but the other three are wonderful and I’ll probably re-read them as soon as I finish this review.
Atlantis Rising by Alyssa Day
The good news is that with this book the author (aka Alesia Holliday) begins a new series featuring outrageously sexy and oversized paranormal warriors and…well, the bad news is that with this book the author begins a new series featuring outrageously sexy and oversized paranormal warriors. For the most part, I enjoyed this story, but…
A Babe In Ghostland by lisa Cach
A Babe in Ghostland has a Haunting of Hill House premise with a whittled down cast. The end result is more comic and over-the-top than creepy, but overall it’s quite entertaining. Megan Barrows is an antique store owner with an interesting talent: she can “feel” the stories of the treasures she collects and sells. Once…
Valley of Silence by Nora Roberts
This is my first Nora Roberts novel, and, after having read it, I can definitely see why she’s a perennial bestseller. Her writing is crisp, her characters vivid and compelling, and her romance utterly and hopelessly bittersweet. With a story that is fantastic, while at the same time very real and emotional, Valley of Silence…
The Scot, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
Clearly this author and I have differing opinions on what makes a book funny. The Scot, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is intended to be a comedy, with a zany type of humor. I wasn’t amused. None of the story’s characters engaged me in any way. Not the hermit hero, not the “I’m not a…
Inferno by Vivi Anna
I have to admit I’m a sucker for paranormal romances and, if you throw in a little SF, you pretty much have me hooked. Set in a post-apocalyptic world infested with cannibals, vampires, and those out for a fast buck, Inferno is softened by very real and human characters. Although the main protagonist, Katarina (a.k.a….
