The first time I picked up this book, I put it down after reading the back. It was one more vampire book, one more series, one more niftily-named secret group…and the hero’s name was Wrath. The book didn’t sound bad, but with other books featuring similar elements gathering dust on my shelf, I didn’t know…
NOTE: This review refers to the text edition; however, it is currently only available in audio so we have linked to that instead. Call me food-obsessed, but reading irrevocably brings out the gourmand in me. Not only do I tend to nibble away on something chocolate-related when I read, but some books also seem to…
Can I just say “wow”? Equal parts paranormal, historical fiction, and kick-butt thriller, The Historian is a rare thing – a “literary” novel that doesn’t read like one. What I mean by that – and I’m just being honest here – is that even though the author’s prose is sophisticated, her story complex, and the…
Avon seems to be marketing this one as a “vampire comedy”, but despite the book’s slapstick-y first few chapters, I’d argue with that designation – a good thing, believe it or not, because the book’s humor is undeniably lame. But, thankfully, there’s more here than just bad comedy, including a sexy vampire hero, a likable…
Whew! After reading Ms. Davidson’s last book, Derik’s Bane, I’d begun to worry a little bit. Though she has a proven track record of writing clever dialogue and sharp characters, I was beginning to overdose a little on those very things. In her third novel featuring Vampire Queen Betsy Taylor, the sharp writing is present…
Even when I don’t love her books, I admire this author. For many authors publishing with a pseudonym just means a different name on the cover and maybe a different setting or genre – the voice remains the same. Lynn Viehl (or Jessica Hall, or Gena Hale, or S. L. Viehl) manages to do something…
Dead as a Doornail is book five in the Southern Vampire series told in the first-person by telepathic small-town Louisiana bar waitress Sookie Stackhouse. I’ve enjoyed all the books in this series and am happy to report that Dead as a Doornail is a worthy follow-up to the last in the series, Dead to the…
I like my vampire heroes to embrace their dark side, to accept their vampire nature, however, the hero of My Demon’s Kiss fights against his every step of the way, and for good reason, he viciously kills a friend immediately after becoming a vampire. The romanticized version of vampires is not present here, no sir….
For readers of Undead and Unwed, you know what to expect here. A sarcastic heroine who’s so totally not cool with her vampiric status and, horror of horrors, her exalted position as the vampire Queen; a sexy stud of a vampire king and our heroine’s consort whether she likes it or not; a troop of…
Who said vampires can’t be fun? Charlaine Harris clearly doesn’t buy it as she proves once again in the latest entry in her delightful Sookie Stackhouse series. Since bad boys have always held immense appeal for me, fans of the series won’t be surprised that I’ve always had a major Jones for Eric, the sexy…
