Dear Readers, It’s been three weeks since my last confession. In that time, I’ve read two historicals, six paranormals (5 being about werewolves, the entire backlist of Meg Benjamin, and a couple of erotic romances. Not Wicked Enough by Carolyn Jewel (ARC, release date Feb 7, 2012). Enjoyed this different historical story of a wealthy(…)

Note: This review contains major spoilers for Waking the Witch, the previous book in the series. Dear Ms. Armstrong, I’ve been a fan of yours ever since Bitten was first published.

Dear Ms. Armstrong, I’m a long-time fan of yours. My first exposure to your work was Bitten, the first novel in your Otherworld series about the only female werewolf in existence, several years ago before urban fantasy took off and became the sprawling subgenre it is today.

But as I said in that review, sometimes being late to the party can have its advantages. Namely, no long wait in between books! And unless I’m mistaken, almost two years have passed(…)

Dear Authors, While many readers dislike anthologies because the good stories are often outnumbered by the bad, I’m not one of them. I love anthologies. They let me sample many different authors at once — old favorites and new-to-mes. And sometimes all it takes is one perfect story to make an anthology worthwhile. The follow-up(…)

I never was interested in werewolves until I read Bitten by Kelley Armstrong. Her evocative tale of a girl lost suffering the worst betrayal at the hands of her lover but ultimately growing strong enough to take back her life and accept the beast within her was seductive and I became part of her web(…)
