Dear Ms. Dane: Your Bound by Magick series is my favorite of your paranormal series. Clan Owen, one of the largest and oldest covens of witches in the United States is recovering from the horror of the Magister, a superpowered enemy that annihilated much of witch-kind, but was beaten back at the end of the(…)

In thinking about it, I didn’t think that 2012 was a particularly bad reading year for me. But when I looked back at my reviews, I realized that I wrote only two A-grade reviews.

Dear Ms. Banks & Ms. Dane, Both of you are “auto-buy” authors for me, although lately, I’m having much better luck with Ms. Dane than with Ms. Banks. Generally speaking, I avoid novellas of any sort because I find that the build up to “I love you” is not drawn out enough for my tastes.(…)

Dear Ms. Dane: I included this book in January’s recommended reads because I like straight up contemporaries that feature two people falling in love. This is one of those books.

This is a great story to tuck into spare reading time between parties, cooking and other seasonal activities I guess the plot(…)
