Dear Ms Briggs, I’m not just an avid reader of your Mercy Thompson series and your Alpha & Omega series, I’m the sort of fan who counts off the days until your next book like a kid counting the days until Christmas. But the problem with Christmas is that the wait can make even good [...]

Dear Ms. Williams: I admit I passed this book over when it first came across my desk. The cover, the story blurb all seemed a little twee to me. It’s largely about the fae and I’ve never really been interested in that fantasy world. Months later (the book was released at the end of October [...]

Dear Ms. Kindred, A few months ago, I read your Carina Press novella, The Devil’s Garden, and enjoyed it quite a bit. It reminded me somewhat of a cross between Storm Constantine and Jacqueline Carey, which I thought was a good and interesting mix. I also liked that your characters fell outside the usual gender [...]

Dear Ms. Harrison, As a Paranormal reader and reviewer, the concept of a series is both the blessing and bane of my existence. Ever heard of a stand-alone Paranormal? I’ve gotta look around and see if they actually occur…but back to the matter at hand. After the first book, it’s crystal clear as to whether [...]

Dear Ms. Harrison, I went back and forth with Jane as to whether to write a review of Dragon Bound. Jane had written a bit about it already for the contest and it is one of her May Recommended Reads, but I felt that the book deserved a second look, so here I am. Be [...]

Dear Ms. Pang, I’m a recovering burned-out reader of adult urban fantasy. These days it’s so difficult for me to pick up a novel in the subgenre and read it from beginning to end. But that doesn’t stop me from trying because the perpetual optimist in me still hopes to find that novel that’ll make [...]

Dear Ms. Moning, ShadowFever delivered all the answers I wanted to know about your fascinating world of human and Fae, and yet, after my late-night read-a-thon I feel about ShadowFever like Mac feels about herself through much of the book: bipolar. ShadowFever is the culmination of the search for the Sinsar Dubh, a ageless Fae [...]

Dear Ms. Moning, Hi, my name is Jaclyn and I am a Fever-aholic. This is a post about addiction. Yes, dear ones, I did read book four of the Fever series, DreamFever, by candlelight because the electricity went out the night I got my hands on a copy. I started reading this series in 2006, [...]

Dear Ms. Briggs: I’m pretty amazed and delighted at the consistency of your writing. Even though you have increased your writing schedule to include one more book release, it still seems the quality of your work has remained the same. As my fellow reviewer, Jayne, would say “Huzzah”. I’ll confess that I found the book [...]

Dear Ms. Briggs, Even though I adored “Alpha and Omega” in the anthology On the Prowl, the story which introduced readers to the werewolves Charles and Anna, and also loved the first novel in the series which follows these characters, Cry Wolf, I’m not sure I’m the best person to review Hunting Ground, the latest [...]

Dear Ms. Day It’s tough for a reader to jump into the middle of a series. Atlantis Unmasked is the fourth book in the Warriors of Poseiden series. Reading the first three was too intimidating in terms of a time commitment. and I fully acknowledge that this book would probably have worked better for me [...]

Warning: This F review may contain language that is offensive to Sensitive Readers. Dear Ms. Gryphon: The cover quote for the book is by Laurell K Hamilton and it says “A unique idea in the paranormal genre.” I have to agree. It was unique. Unique like I’ve never read anything so bizarre in the paranormal [...]
