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…
Though this is the much-awaited next installment in two paranormal series by Susan Krinard, I had a hard time getting through it. Quentin is a uniquely dark hero with unusual demons to slay, but his character is just about the only thing you can look forward to in this slow-moving and clichéd story. Set in…
Once a Wolf, by Susan Krinard, follows the relationship of a hero and heroine who are both werewolves. Lady Rowena Forster fled England to avoid marrying the man her brother had chosen for her, a werewolf named Cole MacLean. But she changes her mind when she becomes re-acquainted with Cole in New York and learns…
Once in a while you run across a romance that is a wonderful, re-readable keeper in every way, but which is very difficult to review. In the case of Prince of Shadows, the difficulty in reviewing it is mainly based on having to elaborate why I love it. That’s the price of being an avid…

For me, Touch of the Wolf was like Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. I enjoyed it, not as much as the original installments, but it was a good set-up story that started to link what is already there from earlier books. Prince of Shadows and Prince of Wolves are the two previous werewolf books by…
Susan Krinard’s newest werewolf novel, set in historical times, is an emotionally involving and beautifully told story with a very high angst level. The continuation of the werewolf race rests on the shoulders of one man. Make that one werewolf. Braden Forster, the earl of Greyburn, lives for what his grandfather termed “The Cause.” After…
Shadow on the Moon is a romance that adds up, but never exceeds the sum of its parts. It contains many intriguing elements, such as an unwilling werewolf and an intrepid biologist, specializing in wolves. Still, even with the addition of a goofy sheriff and a string of gruesome murders, the book remains strangely flat….
What do you get when you mix a Celtic myth, feuding Scottish clans, and an English lord? A romance novel, Touch Not the Cat, by Tracy Fobes.
