How do I describe this book? It’s like having Oreos with orange juice – delicious when consumed separately, but together they just make for a sour mess. Hell on Wheels combined two things I enjoy (paranormal romances and roller derby) but by throwing them in the middle of a confusing, war torn dimension, the author…
Elle, a human hunter of demons, is driven by revenge. Then she’s forced to work with Patrick, an angel who refuses to take part in any holy wars. Patrick is so determined to live an ordinary human life that he won’t use his powers against a demon who has a personal connection to both him…
Sweet Ruin is the sixteenth entry in the venerable Immortals After Dark series. In a market where many paranormal romance series go off the rails or lose steam between books three and five, the IAD series has grown and expanded without losing its focus on romance. Rune Darklight is part demon, part dark fey and…
I can’t say I would happily die tomorrow, but if I did, I could rest a little easier in the knowledge that Michael from Meljean Brook’s Guardian series finally got his well-deserved HEA, and that one of my favorite series ended on high note. Guardians are super-powered humans, conscripted upon their death by Michael, their…
When reading romantic comedy I tend to draw a distinction between that which is silly fun and that which is just plain silly. This book straddles the line between the two as far as I’m concerned. Some of it worked for me, but some of it did not. If you ever find yourself in Hannah,…
My favorite paranormal romances are the funny ones: No larger-than-life heroes that take themselves too seriously, no heroines that can’t wait to be bonded, no destruction of the world looming. Instead, I like amusing little magics and the zany situations that occur when you throw magical elements into the mundane world. This explains why I…
The omnipresent paranormal romance series often loses its luster after the first few books, but Elisabeth Naughton’s Eternal Guardians series is still going strong with book four, Enraptured. Upon the capture of his brother, Gryphon’s, soul, the demon hybrid Orpheus is tapped by the gods to take Gryphon’s place in the ranks of the Eternal…
As I park my sitter on my rolling office throne and finger up to my lettered and clicky, I realize that I don’t quite know how to cowboy up a grade, you feel me? I was hand-grenaded by J R Ward’s latest pagey rectangle, but was continually Katrina’d from the story by the Citarum River…
Look up complex in the dictionary and one of the definitions will be “novels by Meljean Brook, esp the Guardian series.” Ms. Brook can also be found in the thesaurus under antonyms for “brain candy.” Hers are not the type of books that you read between phone calls or on your lunch break. Concentration is…
I like funny paranormal romances, but have to draw the line at one filled with juvenile humor and penis jokes. Add in a hero who speaks like a robot and lots of sex but no romance, and the book just doesn’t work for me. If not for a cute talking dog and a flying faery…
