Dear Ms. Couper: I loved the cover on this book. It depicts exactly the image I have a rock star’s bodyguard. I couldn’t resist requesting it from Samhain when the review copy list was sent. This is a sequel to Love’s Rhythm which I reviewed last summer. While I enjoyed Muscle for Hire more than(…)

Dear Ms. Banks: Your historical series is really hit or miss for me. While Genevieve McInnes and Bowen Montgomery are perfectly nice characters with a perfectly nice romance, the tone and spirit of the romance was too similar to the last one for me to fully enjoy it. Genevieve McInnes was stolen from her bridal(…)

Dear Kit Rocha: This is the second book in your post apocalyptic series. My main problem is that the two main protagonists are in a power struggle, but I’m not sure what their efforting toward. Dallas and his gang of O’Kanes built Sector Four into a formidable territory outside the walls of the protected land(…)

Dear Ms. Mac: As a secret baby book, the story must do two things: 1) convince me that keeping the secret justified and 2) that the secret should be kept for an ongoing period of time. Unfortunately both failed for me. The story starts out with young Kelly Atkinson watching her father be locked behind(…)

Dear Ms. McBain: I have heard it number of varying opinions about these books but someone gifted me a copy and once it was on my Kindle I couldn’t resist. The most intriguing part of this book is that it surrounds an established couple who have been married for over 20 years. After Zeke Brawer(…)

Dear Ms. Wildes: You are an author whose prose I’ve enjoyed in the past. Your 2009 novel, An Indecent Proposition (reviewed here by Jane), was a sexy fun read and I found the first book in the Whispers of Scandal series, Ruined by Moonlight, entertaining (My review is here.) Your latest, A Most Improper Rumor, however, left(…)

Dear Ms. West, I loved reading teen horror novels when I was younger. Old school Christopher Pike? Fear Street? Sign me up! Despite the explosion of YA novels in recent years, however, I haven’t seen many fall into the horror genre. So when I read the premise of your novel, The Murmurings, I was excited.(…)

Dear Ms. Yardley: While I liked the narrator’s voice and found some aspects of this story funny, the lack of movement in the plot and the overall mishmash of world building left me puzzled and deflated at the end. Kate O’Hara is presented as this conflicting mass of extraordinary capabilities and super screw up. Despite(…)

Her mother has taken out a loan against the mortgage and is traveling the craft fair circuit selling erotic sculptures. Eden has about three weeks before her first loan payment is due. She(…)

Dear Ms. Brody, The premise of your novel, Unremembered, piqued my interest. My reading tastes have been shifting again and I’m feeling the desire to read more thrillers. Bonus points if they have a supernatural or science fiction bent. The mystery of an amnesiac girl trying to regain her memories and figure out her identity(…)

Dear Ms. Swift: I find myself drawn to Restoration-era novels even though I haven’t found one I really love yet. I blame my years-ago late-night viewing of Forever Amber. The blurb for The Gilded Lily stated that it is “set in a London of atmospheric coffee houses, gilded mansions, and shady pawnshops hidden from rich(…)

Dear Ms. Smith, I greatly enjoyed your YA historical novel, Flygirl, in which a young African American woman passes for white in order to join the Women’s Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) during World War II. I loved Ida Mae’s story, so when I saw that you had a new book out, a YA dystopian set(…)

Dear Ms. Dee: This was a book recommended to me after I expressed interest in post apocalyptic books, an interest stoked by the writing of Kylie Scott. “After the End” is a more plot driven, cinematic book and because of that, not as engaging. However, for those who like fast paced action with some human(…)

Dear Ms. Stone: This is the first book in a series involving three childhood friends who reunite upon the death of one of their members. Cain Black is a former star high school quarterback turned down a full ride scholarship to Michigan State University to pursue his dream of music. He and his band are(…)
