Dear Ms. Harris: Now that I read so much in digital, I don’t pay as much attention to book covers as I used to. But the cover for Dead Ever After says so much about the book itself, that I’m tempted to tell people who wonder how the series ends to take their cues from(…)

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 Ms. Lorenz. I don’t read werewolf books. I just don’t. If I see a m/m shifter book, I usually just move right along. But one line in the excerpt sold me on this book: "Don't give me any back talk, son." She waved her spatula at him as she talked around a cigarette dangling(…)

Dear Ms. Harris: The first time I read Dead in the Family I felt almost hypnotized by the emotional aftermath of the horror Sookie faced in the last book, Dead and Gone. Enthralled by the effects of her trauma and the painfully slow steps she was making toward recovery, I could barely summon my critical(…)

Dear Ms. Smith, When I told some friends I was reading your YA novel, Flygirl, and what it was about, one of them directed me to this article at The New York Times. It’s about the awarding of Congressional Gold Medals to the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP), who provided the United States Army with(…)

Dear Ms. Daley, Modern methods of crime solving fascinate me. I admit I’m a real life CSI junkie and can watch a whopping amount of cable shows which explain how law enforcement officials crack a case. The description of this book The only witness when a single mother mysteriously vanishes? Her three-year-old daughter. FBI agent(…)

Dear Ms. Mitchell, It’s been a while since I read a Southern gothic, young adult or not. In fact, I think the last novel I read in this subgenre was Cherie Priest’s Four and Twenty Blackbirds and that came out a few years ago. For some reason, it’s just not a genre I often read(…)

Dear Mrs Wells, What happens when you take an intriguing idea and mix it with nice characters but throw in very standard plotting? A reader who ends up feeling manipulated. Oh, I know that’s what a romance book is supposed to do – get you to root for the characters and sigh at the HEA(…)

Dear Mrs. Blake, Years ago, I read one of your earlier historical books and kept in mind the unusual setting of early 19th century Louisiana until I found a replacement copy for the one I lost. Then I don’t think it was so noticeable as now when almost no time exists for publishers except Regency(…)

Dear Mrs Carsen, Thanks for sending us a copy of your ebook “Not Quite Dead.” I think it’s the first time I’ve read a book featuring this particular type of paranormal hero and to be honest, I’m still trying to name him. Is he a zombie? Or should we just settle on the term “undead?”(…)
