Clean Sweep was my introduction to the writing duo whose books are published under the name Ilona Andrews. Over the years, I heard a lot of talk about the Andrews novels, and so, when Clean Sweep was offered for review, I was excited to give it a try. While it wasn’t exactly my cup of…
I have to admit – I love books with kitschy, cliched titles. I’m happy to say that I’ve enjoyed most of the books I’ve read that are like that (you can check out my top 10 list if you don’t believe me), and I was hoping that Kerrelyn Sparks’ latest would join that particular group…
I would say The Vampire Most Wanted was a good book. As it’s one of the first few books I’ve read by Lynsay Sands, I can’t really say whether or not it measures up to her other works, but I certainly enjoyed it. It wasn’t revolutionary, but it was certainly satisfying. The first thing you…
Love Your Entity is a tricky book to grade. Most of the time, it walks that fine line between adorable and annoying as readers get to follow the latest round of antics in Chicago’s Vamptown. However, since I got more eyerolls than chuckles out of this one, it’s not something I’d recommend. Sierra Brennan comes…
Vampire romances have become passé in recent years, falling out of favor for new and shiny creatures such as demons, angels, werewolves, and the like. Post-Twilight the sub-genre has become rife for mockery and parody and, given some of what has been published, for good reason. I’m pleased to say we finally have a fresh…
After slogging through six hundred pages of nothing much happening except for the cynical additions of several characters and story arcs, I am officially through with the Black Dagger Brotherhood. Lover at Last was supposed to be the highly anticipated culmination of the m/m romance that has been brewing through the last few books. Instead,…
A friend asked me how I can review books and whether or not doing so destroyed my enjoyment of the story. She suggested that concentrating on the ins and outs would take too much away from the story and ruin the reading experience. To me, that is what makes the difference between a good book…
There once was a time when Feehan’s vampire series was a sensuous, dark pleasure for me. The Carpathian vampires who lost sight of their souls only to have a new lease on life thanks to their new found mates were quite enjoyable reads. But I have noticed that the series has really taken a very…
Narrated by Amanda Ronconi Amanda Ronconi is a new narrator for me, just as Molly Harper is a new author. I was very happy with both and found myself laughing out loud throughout this book. Nice Girl’s Don’t Have Fangs is a light, humorous, “Sookie Stackhouse meets Queen Betsy” listen. Small town librarian Jane Jameson…
I need to confess two things: First, vampires in the Tudor court are a hard sell for me and, second, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the first book in this series. I don’t have problems with historical romances that contain vampires or other supernatural creatures, but, as a history buff, I don’t…
