Menagerie

In Menagerie, author Rachel Vincent introduces us to a fantasy world both wondrous and strange that isn’t populated by countless vampires. Instead, we're introduced to mermaids, minotaurs, sirens and a host of other creatures straight out of mythology. The skilled performance given by narrator Gab ...

Sumeria's Son

There are more things in the world than are dreamt of in your philosophy, dear reader. And I am going to say this, though - this series is not for everyone. But it’s not like anything I’ve read recently, and that was enough to keep me intrigued. Lycans are descendants of the Sumerians, of ...

Canadian Wolf

I’m a huge fan of paranormals, especially when you mix in some romantic suspense. My gateway drug to romance was urban fantasy, after all, and the best urban fantasy novels, and the best romance novels, mix a little bit of everything together to make something new. They make use of the tropes with ...

King Hall

If you're a Harry Potter fan, did you ever wonder what life would have been like for the characters as adults? If so, King Hall is the book for you. Scarlett Dawn has kicked off what promises to be a fabulous new series that reminded me a bit of Harry Potter, but is definitely intended for an adult ...

The Wolf Prince

I love shape shifters, especially wolves. I also love the fey, most especially the Sidhe courts. So when I found a book that combined both Sidhe and shape shifters, I was delighted. Unfortunately, by the end of this book I was far less pleased. Prince Ruben of Teslinko must choose a br ...

Written in Red

Anne Bishop can always be relied upon for excellent prose and wildly creative worldbuilding. Written in Red does feature both. Unfortunately, the characters and plot aren’t strong, and the romance is (deliberately) nonexistent. I’ve read enough better fantasy, often by Bishop herself, not to rec ...

Mating Instinct

I was not expecting to like this book (I know, I know – the clichéd intro). Let me be a little more truthful: I was expecting to hate this book. You see, when it comes to romance novels, I have a marked preference for historicals. Historicals have what to me is the basis of true romance: Passion ...

Desperately Seeking Shapeshifter

The second book in the Midnight Liaisions series revolving around a dating service for shapeshifters charmed me. And in a shocking turn of events, made me long for a were-bear of my very own. In this world, nearly all shifters belong to a pack consisting of creatures of their own kind. Sara Ward ...

Demon's Curse

As a fan of paranormal and historical romances, I was very intrigued by the new series by Alexa Egan that combines the two genres. Though this is the first in the series and not a great book, the series shows a lot of potential.         There is a very dark tone that pervades Demon’s C ...

Edge of Oblivion

Edge of Oblivion is the second book in J.T. Geissinger’s Night Prowler series, which continues the story of the Ikati, a race of fierce shape-shifters. I read the introduction and the story sounded interesting. Then I actually read the first couple of chapters with its hokey cattle prod and Furian ...
