When super sexy animal trainer Antoine Monier decides to rescue the female tiger police confiscated from poachers in Germany, he gets more than be expects. The tigress, Tahira Kuric, is a shape-shifter like himself. But, Tahira is part of the Hayalet Ghost Tribe, a remote clan of shifters that are at war with the Sazi….
I don’t know how I managed to miss the boat on this author. Happily, I plan to check out her backlist immediately as I can hardly wait for the next book in this series. I wanted to read this book in one sitting, and was terribly offended that the real world intruded on my reading…
Clearly, Vickie Taylor’s primary goal in writing Flesh and Stone was simply to tell a rip-roaring story. Since I found myself devouring this book in just a few hours, she certainly succeeded for me. With a cool mythology and a new paranormal world to explore – gargoyles, no less! – Flesh and Stone seems altogether…
I’ve never read a shapeshifter romance before. It’s not generally something that appeals to me, but I was drawn in by the gothic feel of this book. It comes complete with a spooky old house, a dark and mysterious lord, and servants who border on squirrelly. Admittedly, it’s cheesy, and that’s what I liked about…
You know, just about the last thing I’m looking for when I pick up a book is 336 pages of staccato dialogue delivered by a bunch of crabby, unpleasant people. Add in a confused plot largely predicated on back story from previous books requiring a lot of really awkward exposition and the result, as you…
Paranormal romances seem to be everywhere these days, many of them covering the usual vampire/werewolf/psychic terrain. Vickie Taylor’s Carved in Stone offers paranormal fans something new, introducing a universe built around atypical supernatural creatures for the genre: gargoyles. When she was a child, Rachel Vandermere saw her parents murdered by a monstrous creature with wings…
I’m a big fan of HBO’s Deadwood. Make that a huge fan of HBO’s Deadwood. So, not surprisingly considering my obsessed fan-dom, I’m on a quest these days to somehow get my hands on books set in the American West that are as gut-wrenchingly visceral as that incredible show and that evoke the same raw,…
With all the hoopla about Linda Howard’s To Die For, the newest from Tor’s new paranormal romance line should draw a lot of attention. Antihero Tony’s first person narrative would cause buzz all by itself. But this interesting and different romance has a million other things going on. All of them good in and of…
If you asked who the breakout star of 2004 was for me, I’d say MaryJanice Davidson. And if you asked me which book was the biggest disappointment, I’d tell you it was Derik’s Bane. When I read Undead and Unwed I raved. The book was funny and witty and fresh. Same went, to a slightly…
This book marks the premiere of the new Tor Romance line. It’s always best to have a wonderful premiere, but this book did not fulfill that expectation for me. The descriptions of some of the other books in this line indicate that perhaps any of them might have been a better choice. Magdalene (Maggie) O’Shea…
