Dear Ms. Ione: I haven’t been a faithful follower of the Demonica series, but I’ve read several. Having some knowledge of the world helped ground Immortal Rider but I did wonder whether readers who entered at this book or its predecessor would be a little lost. Immortal Rider is the second in the “Lords of(…)

Dear Ms. Taylor, Your novels have been on my peripheral awareness for a couple years now. I keep meaning to give them a try, but you know how it is. So many books, so little time. Then I heard the buzz surrounding Daughter of Smoke and Bone. I thought it was a great title so(…)

Dear Ms. Day: I felt like that there was a kernel of a really great story here but the story I wanted to read and the story I read were at such odds with each other. The story that I felt was trying to be told was of a man who had an enduring love(…)

Dear Ms. Lario: I requested this book from NetGalley based on the blurb over at BookPushers by MinnChica. This is an Entangled Pub book and the first that I’ve read from this Press. It looked like a very professional product. The epub was nicely formatted (with chapters and everything!) and didn’t have any glaring editing errors. My(…)

Dear Ms. Brook: This is the second to last book in the Guardian series. The hero is a human named Nicholas St. Croix who first appeared in Demon Blood as a demon hunter. Nicholas searches for the demon who impersonated his mother and drove his father to suicide. He believes that Ash, a halfling demon,(…)

Dear Mr. Skovron, I first stumbled across your novel on NetGalley. It didn’t sound like my thing at first. It’s young adult urban fantasy and I’m reaching my limit on those. It features a teenage outcast and that didn’t strike me as anything new. I do like demons, but they’re becoming a worn out staple(…)

Dear Ms. Destefano, I haven’t been an avid reader of urban fantasy for some time. Like many people, I burned out on the subgenre when it seemed like 10 books were coming out every month. That said, I do occasionally check out new releases from new(ish) authors in the hopes of finding something that sounds(…)

Dear Ms. Harris: I must admit to a bittersweet experience reading Dead Reckoning, in part because I know there are only two more books to come in a series that has given me such reading pleasure for almost ten years now (I came to the series a couple of books in). Sookie is one of(…)

Dear Mr. Rothfuss, By February I had heard enough people mention how eagerly they were awaiting the sequel to your first novel, 2007's The Name of the Wind, that I was intrigued and decided to pick up the first book in the series. The Name of the Wind begins this way: "It was night again.(…)

Dear Ms. West, I fear my epic reading muscles must be atrophied. I realize I’ve been reading many young adult novels and paranormal/urban fantasies in recent months, but I think it’s warped my expectations for how long it should take me to finish a book! I’ve reviewed the Elantra novels you write under the Michelle(…)

Dear Ms Jewel: When you handed me a hot-off-the-presses ARC of your new paranormal release, My Immortal Assassin, I was both excited and nervous. Excited because I had wanted to try your paranormal books, and nervous because a) I know and like you and didn't want to hate this book, and b) I've found myself(…)

Dear Ms. Myles, You are another author whose books have caught my eye, but I haven’t managed to pick up. I’ve realized I need a lot more free time for loafing on the couch and reading. Does anyone want to give me that as a belated Hannukah or surprise Christmas gift please? Anyways, I’ve seen(…)

Dear Ms. Kane, I am not a big horror fan. I don’t find movies like Paranormal Activity, Resident Evil or 28 Days Later enjoyable. And for clarifcation purposes, I love Blade Runner, 12 Monkeys and Serenity. I nearly got thrown out of business class once when I kept yelping aloud during Signs and I was(…)

Dear Ms. Cole: It is no secret that I am a big fan of your Immortals After Dark series, and I have certainly made no secret of the fact that the Lykae "fated mate" books are not among my favorites. In Pleasure of A Dark Prince, I really enjoyed the way Lucia and Garreth had(…)
