Dear Ms. Mackenzie, I’ve been a huge fan of mythology, and remember consciously discovering it in fourth grade with the study of Greece and Greek mythology. Disclosure time: I spent the latter half of summer prior to entering fourth grade reading the Greek myths. I really wanted to be Artemis and spend my days hunting(…)

Dear Ms. Black, I was first introduced to your books a few years ago with your debut, Tithe, the first in a series about faeries in modern times. In some ways, I consider those books to have kickstarted the popularity of faeries in recent young adult fiction. That said, I’ve made no secret of the(…)

Dear Miss Harrison, About one year ago, I had the pleasure of first discovering your novel, The Princess and the Hound, through my amazing school library. Now, a year later, the ARC of The Princess and the Snowbird is happily coming to me through the mail, and in preparation, I have decided to reread this(…)

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. Allen: I’ve wanted to read you for a long time and when this book was hand delivered to me when I was in NY, I felt like I had no excuses but to read it. I’ll tell you that it was a lifesaver. As I spent almost 10 hours at La Guardia due(…)

Dear Ms. Resnick, Has it ever been a long wait for the follow up book to “Disappearing Nightly!” Which I’m sure I don’t need to tell you about. When I read, and loved, it in late 2005, I was peeved that it would probably take a year to find out if Esther and Lopez would(…)

This isn’t really a review so much as book summary so spoilers ahoy. Dear Ms. Gregory: When I saw Karen Scott post about this book, I thought it was a joke. Surely no one was writing Gingerbread man porn, right? Right? Because what is the point of taking a Mother Goose nursery rhyme and pornogriphying(…)

Dear Ms. Coughlin: Although you have been writing romance for some time, I confess to not having read you before, or if I have read a book of yours, I don’t recall it. I wasn’t initially interested in The Lost Enchantress but when so many in our Berkley Giveaway pinpointed your book as the(…)

Dear Ms. Andrews, On the Edge was the first of your books that I’ve read, but it will not be the last. Rose Drayton and her two young brothers, Jack and Georgie, live in the Edge, an area where two dimensions known as the Weird and the Broken overlap. In the Weird, people have magical(…)

Dear Ms. Lyons: This is a witch/witch hunter paranormal and while witch stories are not proliferous within the paranormal sub genre, the underlying tropes are familiar. Wing Slayer hunters, men chosen by the Wing Slayer to protect witches, must find their soul mirror or succumb to the rogue state where they live to slaughter witches.(…)

Dear Mr. Lane: As I immediately emailed to you when you sent met his book, “Good God, the fairy godmother of cover images likes YOU, doesn’t she?!” I adore this cover, as I did the cover of the first Amaranth novel. (Anne Cain did the art. One might almost say “Of course, Anne Cain did(…)

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. Carey, I think it’s no secret that you’re one of my favorite authors. Even though the Sundering duology didn’t do much for me, I loved the original Kushiel trilogy featuring Phedre and Joscelin. I’ve also been in something of a reading funk, finding myself unable to finish any book at all. I don’t(…)

Dear Ms. Kittredge, I think most readers who’ve heard of you are more familiar with your Luna Wilder series. While I have my reservations about the titular character of those books, I do think they’re a good way to pass the time. But I’ll confess: the series I’ve really been waiting for are the Black(…)
