Kati’s Top Reads of 2012

Kati’s Top Reads of 2012

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. And once I started compiling my list, I could only come up with six titles that I would wholeheartedly recommend. These(…)

REVIEW:  Archangel’s Storm by Nalini Singh

REVIEW: Archangel’s Storm by Nalini Singh

Dear Ms. Singh, I’ll be honest, this is a book I’ve been waiting for since your Guild Hunters series began and we first met the Archangel Raphael’s spymaster, Jason. So I started Archangel’s Storm with a sense of great anticipation. What I found was a quieter than expected romance, but one that I found great(…)

EPIC JOINT REVIEW: Tangle of Need by Nalini Singh

EPIC JOINT REVIEW: Tangle of Need by Nalini Singh

Janine: When I emailed the DA loop to see if anyone wanted to review Tangle of Need with me, I had no idea what spark I ignited.  Jennie took me up on it, and the resulting review is epic in its length and scope.  Hope you guys enjoy it. Jennie: This is apparently the 11th book in the(…)

Dear Bitches, Smart Authors Podcast, Episode No. #24. An Interview with Nalini Singh

Dear Bitches, Smart Authors Podcast, Episode No. #24. An Interview with Nalini Singh

Surprise, surprise, Nalini Singh was in our hotel room, so we tied her to a chair and Sarah Wendell interviewed her. She’s live, not on Skype, and it’s a really fun and casual conversation because we didn’t plan to do this. We had the microphone and a half hour to chat. We did attempt to(…)

REVIEW: Lord of the Abyss by Nalini Singh

REVIEW: Lord of the Abyss by Nalini Singh

Dear Ms. Singh: This is the fourth book in a connected series with the three other stories written by three other authors. I haven’t read the other three and I don’t feel like my reading experience was impaired in any way.  The prologue lays the table.  A long lived people leaved peacefully and prosperously in(…)

REVIEW: Archangel’s Blade by Nalini Singh

REVIEW: Archangel’s Blade by Nalini Singh

Dear Ms. Singh, Archangel’s Blade opens with a flashback in the vampire Dmitri’s POV, one that takes us back to Dmitri’s human life. In the flashback, dark, ruthless Dmitri is revealed to have once, a thousand years ago, been a loving and tender hearted man devoted to his two children and to his wife. Smiling(…)

Theories on Kaleb Krychek.  The Man, The Mystery, The Romance

Theories on Kaleb Krychek. The Man, The Mystery, The Romance

After I read Kiss of Snow, I started to re-read the entire Psy series. I did so because in reading Kiss of Snow, I began to form a picture of Kaleb Krychek in my mind and I had to go back and figure out if the previous mentions of him fit the crystallizing image. This(…)

JOINT REVIEW: Kiss of Snow by Nalini Singh

JOINT REVIEW: Kiss of Snow by Nalini Singh

Janine: I’ve been hankering for Nalini Singh’s Kiss of Snow ever since I realized Hawke would be paired with Sienna, and was so excited to receive the ARC that even though I was in the middle of two other books, I dropped them to read this one the day I got it. When I had(…)

REVIEW: Archangel’s Consort by Nalini Singh

REVIEW: Archangel’s Consort by Nalini Singh

Dear Ms. Singh: I feel like I am being a bit disloyal to the Psy/Changeling series by admitting that right now I am enjoying the Angel series more but it’s true.   Even though we only get one book a year in this series (or maybe because we only get one book a year), I always(…)

REVIEW: Play of Passion by Nalini Singh

REVIEW: Play of Passion by Nalini Singh

Dear Ms. Singh, I have a terrible time keeping up with series, even those I’m heavily invested in. Off the top of my head, I can think of half a dozen series by different authors that I initially loved but can’t find the energy or wherewithal to continue reading. That I’m anxious for the 10th(…)

REVIEW: Burning Up by Singh, Knight, Kantra and Brook

REVIEW: Burning Up by Singh, Knight, Kantra and Brook

Dear Readers, Burning Up is a new anthology of steamy paranormal novellas from Berkely. I almost never read or review entire anthologies, mainly because it takes me a long, long time to craft four mini-reviews, but in this case I was motivated to do so by my desire to try these stories, all of which(…)

REVIEW: Bonds of Justice by Nalini Singh

REVIEW: Bonds of Justice by Nalini Singh

Dear Ms. Singh, Being human in the Psy/Changeling world you’ve created must suck. Humans are at the very bottom of the Darwinian food chain, with both the Psy and Changelings well ahead of them in terms of mental and physical development. Or so it would seem from a peripheral reading and understanding of the world(…)
