I’m something of a sucker for Sherrilyn Kenyon. Although I don’t believe this is the strongest book in Kenyon’s Dark Hunter series – mainly due to confusion with her background mythology – I still had a great time reading about Vane and Bride. It was also refreshing to have a “less than perfect” heroine, and…
The Courier is a paranormal romance that starts out with an absurd, confusing plotline and one dimensional characters. By the end of the book neither of these problems really resolves. Yet, as flat as the characters were and as puzzling as the plotline seemed to be, the fast pace and bizarre story will keep many…
Christine Feehan has done it again. I love her Carpathian series (although I freely admit some of the books are better than others), but I’m head over heels for her new characters, people who can shapeshift into leopards. Rachael Lospostos is running for her life. She hopes that by fleeing deep into the jungles of…
Bunny slaying, bloodletting, and down and dirty sex? What more does a girl need? Though Hunting Midnight wasn’t a memorable romance, it will certainly stick with me for other reasons! Ulric is pack leader of the upyr, a race of unearthly, beautiful vampires who possess magical powers and can shape change into the form of…
Blood and Chocolate was one of the first werewolf books I read, and it’s still one of my favorites, second only to Kelley Armstrong’s Bitten. I stumbled across it on a list of recommended young adult books. It was a 1998 American Library Association Best Book and Quick Pick for teens, which basically means that…
Catching Midnight features the upyr, an immortal, shape-shifting, blood-drinking race. Although written about by no less than Tolstoy, Emma Holly first introduced the upyr to romance readers in 2002’s Fantasy anthology. As a fan of Ms Holly’s work, I had high hopes for a book that combines two sub-genres I also enjoy – vampire romance…
I was so impressed with Kelley Armstrong’s debut book, Bitten, that I did something I’ve never done before: I ordered the sequel, Stolen, from another country. I just couldn’t wait until the book came to the good old U. S. of A. to read what happens next. What happens next is somewhat complicated. Those readers…
I was so impressed and intrigued by Wen Spencer’s debut book, Alien Taste, that I couldn’t wait to read the next book in the series, Tainted Trail. So when it came in the mail, I dropped everything else I was reading and gobbled it up in one sitting. I was happy to spend some more…
Oooohh, I love a good monster story! Vampires, werewolves, the supernatural, the undead; I just eat them up. If you’re like me, and you’re always up for some romance served spooky style, Bitten, Kelley Armstrong’s first book, is one of the best on the menu this year. Elena Michaels is a werewolf, the only female…
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…
