Tempting Danger

Eileen Wilks begins a promising new paranormal series in this solidly written, if not especially original release. As in the Sookie Stackhouse and Anita Blake books, Ms. Wilks sets her story in a world in which the paranormal is real, recognized, and fraught with political intrigue. Psychically gifted San Diego police detective Lily Yu is…

Witching Moon

Witches, werewolves, and murder, oh my! Witching Moon has it all. And while it sounds like an exciting mix, oddly enough it’s anything but. Instead, the result is a muted, uneven mix of romance, mystery, and paranormal mythology. Adam Marshall (brother of Killing Moon‘s Ross) has recently taken the job of head ranger at Nature’s…

Wild Rain by Christine Feehan

Christine Feehan has done it again. I love her Carpathian series (although I freely admit some of the books are better than others), but I’m head over heels for her new characters, people who can shapeshift into leopards. Rachael Lospostos is running for her life. She hopes that by fleeing deep into the jungles of…

To Catch a Wolf

To Catch a Wolf is the first of Susan Krinard’s werewolf books that I’ve had a chance to read. If it’s any indication of the rest of the series, I’ve missed out on some great books. Passionate, dramatic and very romantic, this is one terrific paranormal romance. Morgan Holt is a loner – by nature…

Catching Midnight by Emma Holly

Catching Midnight features the upyr, an immortal, shape-shifting, blood-drinking race. Although written about by no less than Tolstoy, Emma Holly first introduced the upyr to romance readers in 2002’s Fantasy anthology. As a fan of Ms Holly’s work, I had high hopes for a book that combines two sub-genres I also enjoy – vampire romance…

Killing Moon

If you like romantic suspense, I think there’s a very good chance you’ll find a lot to like about this book. Ditto if you’re a fan of paranormals. If, like me, you’re fond of both genres, then Killing Moon has your name written all over it. Ross Marshall is a dedicated P.I. who also just…

Call of the Moon

Tala Soaringbird really needs to work on developing a sense of humor. As the “one chosen” (notice that it’s not “chosen one” so, of course, it’s completely different from what you’re thinking of) Talia is the warrior of her mysterious forest-dwelling people. She kills werewolves who have succumbed to their darker side; as she goes…

Secret of the Wolf

I am a big monster romance aficionado, and have heard good things about Rebecca Flanders’ werewolf books. So when I learned Silhouette was going to reissue them this year, I was excited. Secret of the Wolf is the first of the three to be released, and, regrettably it tempered some of my excitement about this…

My Enchanted Enemy

Tracy Fobes’ latest release is an enjoyable love story with generally likable characters, though it’s somewhat marred by a low believability factor. It’s been said that one should be able to suspend their disbelief, but not have to hang it by the neck until dead. My Enchanted Enemy hovers perilously close to that line, and…

Secret of the Wolf

Writing darker books can sometimes be a risk for an author. If she tackles a heavy subject with an equally heavy hand, the result can be a story that drags endlessly. On the other hand, if the author skims over a tough issue, the result may feel like a cop-out to the reader. Thankfully, Secret…
