To put it plainly, Changeling disappointed me. One of its main problems is an overabundance of plot. There are just too many things vying for space and time here. The first book in the series, Witchling, also suffered from this problem. I keep coming back for more because I genuinely like the characters, but it’s…
No Humans Involved is the seventh book in the Women of the Otherworld series, a series that has maintained a readable quality, but not managed to exceed – or really match – the quality of its first couple of books. This book fits into that pattern very neatly. This time around our Otherworld Woman is…
Master of Dragons is the latest in Angela Knight’s Mageverse, the alternate world of Avalon and King Arthur. This is not the King Arthur and the Round Table of the Dark Ages, though, and as a result, for much of the time I spent reading the book, I felt like I was involved in a…
Despite marketing efforts (the cover for the second book in this series touts the author as “the new star of paranormal romance”), I wouldn’t classify Tempting Evil as a paranormal romance. I would place it firmly in the Urban Fantasy section of your local library. That’s not to say there isn’t romance in it, but…
Lucy Monroe really sets the stage in Moon Awakening with an interesting background for her shapeshifters. The mighty Picts with their blue tattoos are more than legendary warriors; their tattoos identify the animal they can become. Their king betrayed them, and they eventually joined the clans in Scotland, although no shifter clan is ruled by…
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 a given, for me, that any book Shana Abe creates will be a beautifully written, lyrical story that captures all your senses. She could probably turn my grocery list into some type of poetry. But is that enough? No. If there isn’t enough plot and character dimension, all the lush descriptions would fall to…
This is the first book I’ve read by Nalini Singh, but it won’t be my last. I kept wishing that work would stop interrupting my reading time…isn’t a three hour lunch acceptable these days? The author created an all-around terrific alternate reality; the world building here was nicely done. Earth is the setting, but it’s…
I have a confession to make: I’ve never enjoyed a stand-alone title by Nora Roberts. Her connected books, though, are quite another story. This is the first title in the Circle trilogy, and it’s a good thing that the other books will follow quickly, because I cannot wait! Many of her connected books contain more…
When super sexy animal trainer Antoine Monier decides to rescue the female tiger police confiscated from poachers in Germany, he gets more than be expects. The tigress, Tahira Kuric, is a shape-shifter like himself. But, Tahira is part of the Hayalet Ghost Tribe, a remote clan of shifters that are at war with the Sazi….
