I started reading this anthology right after reading Laurie’s fantastic ATBF column on urban fantasy. It even got me out of lurkerdom on the AAR boards to comment. I spent a good deal of time contemplating why I like urban fantasy so much, because it’s one of the few genres in which I have auto-buy…
This is one of those books that almost hit the wall more than a few times. The heroine behaves badly. The hero behaves badly. And, to make matters worse, much of the action involves characters who don’t even merit the slightest development since I already supposedly know and love them from previous books. And then…
Great (insert sarcasm here)! My favorite hero of the year just happens to be the devil. Yep, seriously, the devil, or Hades as he’s known here. In Sherri Erwin’s To Hell With Love, Hades is lonely and attempts to seek a mate. He knows he must go somewhere pretty liberal, so he picks the Northeast…
To begin, if you haven’t read any of J.R. Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood series and you plan to start, please don’t read any further because this review does contain series spoilers. Still here? Let’s get to the big question: Does J.R. Ward deliver on the Vishous book? From my perspective, she sort of does. Pretty…
I wouldn’t call this book a romance per se; the author deems it a “sort of an urban fantasy”. While technically the hero and heroine have their happy ending, they both have other partners at points in the book, and spend much of their time running from crisis to crisis at a frantic pace. This…
While this book says it’s a Dirk & Steele romance, Soul Song is only very loosely connected with the other books in this series, so if you are looking for more of a tie in with past characters, you won’t find it here. Still, as more of a stand alone novel, this had fun characters…
While The Demon You Know had some plot problems, it moved along quickly and ended up as a mostly enjoyable read. I haven’t read all the books in this series, but the author does a decent job of explaining the characters and there isn’t much world building to catch up on. Abby Baker is an…
When I pick up a Black Dagger Brotherhood book, I know that within minutes I will be completely immersed in a gripping tale that leaves me not caring a bit if I’m reading about a male-dominated world where tormented vampire warriors have ridiculous names, use extreme slang, and that their leather-clad bodies are tattooed and…
I have a soft spot for fairy tales. I guess I’ve been a sucker for them since I was a kid being tucked in at night with a couple of Grimm’s classics for bedtime fare. So, combining fairy tales and steamy romance is always a winner in my book. And, as the title implies, She’s…
It’s always a treat when a series doesn’t disappoint. Progressively, this series has just gotten better and better. Liu has created a world with strong and interesting heroes and heroines. I can’t wait to read more! The Dirk & Steele Agency is much more than a detective agency, and so are its operatives. They all…
