Dear Ms. Adrian: I’ve had an on again off again relationship with this series. I adored Midnight Awakening but struggled with Veil of Midnight. I liked Shades better than the last two but not as much as Midnight Awakening. One of the things that I enjoyed about Shades was that the story was more about(…)

Dear Ms. Robb: It’s been a while since I purchased one of the In Death books in hardcover (I prefer digital these days), so when I received my ordered paper copy of Kindred in Death in the mail I immediately noticed a couple of changes. Not only has the author photo been removed, but the(…)

Dear Ms. Wolff: I am ordinarily not a fan of the holiday focused book although I know that these are popular with many many readers (including my dear blogging partner, Jayne). However, I did enjoy your first book with Harlequin, A Christmas Wedding. That book contained quite a few out of the ordinary elements including(…)

Dear Ms. Harris, I have been anticipating the release of What Remains of Heaven, the fifth book in your Sebastian St. Cyr mystery series, for several months. I’ve come to expect a new book in this series every year, and while I’ve liked some of the offerings more than others, each has been satisfying (with(…)

Dear Ms. Walsh, You don’t know me, but I sometimes lurk at your blog, Writer Unboxed, which is one of the best blogs for writers I know of. I’ve been following it since the days when you were writing this book, under the working title of Unbounded, so when Jane told me that we had(…)

I tried to write the review without spoilers, but I talk about the hero in this review which some people may view as a spoiler. STAY AWAY IF YOU DON’T WANT TO BE SPOILED. In summary, so you don’t have to read the spoilery review, this is a gothic romantic suspense that had good atmosphere(…)

Dear Ms. St. Claire: Of all the Bullet Catcher books, Hunt Her Down is the one I most enjoyed reading. That is because I was pretty much glued to the book the whole way through, my internal critic entertained into submission. The protagonists were well-drawn and sympathetic, their attraction palpable, the suspense aspects of the(…)

Dear Ms. Long: I took a small break from reading your books, albeit unintentionally, a couple of years ago. I think once a reader falls off the bandwagon of an author, you start hesitating to start reading her again, believing that you must have stopped for a very good reason. My reason for stopping, though,(…)

Dear Mrs. Cobb South, I love that you’re working to get your books released in ebook format and hope that this series will eventually be available electronically. It deserves a wider audience than I’m afraid it’s going to get as hardcover releases from a small press. “A Dead Bore” refers to the first victim in(…)

Janine: When Jaili (Maili) and I recently found out we were reading the same little-known book from 2008, Dru Pagliassotti’s Clockwork Heart, we thought it would be fun to discuss it here at Dear Author. But first, a plot synopsis: Clockwork Heart takes place in a fictional Industrial Age city-state called Ondinium. One of Ondinium’s(…)

Dear Ms. Stevens, As part of my ongoing effort to expand my reading (and Harlequin) horizons, I decided to give this novel from Mira a try. New to your work, I wasn’t sure what to expect but the idea of an evil gene sounded interesting. And while I thought some things were awfully convenient, I’m(…)

Dear Mrs. Cobb South, Of all your regencies I’ve read, and that’s most if not all of them, I don’t recall ever reading a bad one. They are well researched, well written, and feature strong characters. But best of all, they’re different. I realize this has made it harder for you to market them but(…)

Dear Authors, This anthology is subtitled “Forensic Mysteries from Today’s BEST WRITERS.” I’d heard of some of your names but forgive me if I say that mysteries, though I enjoy them, aren’t my first reading choice so there are some of you I’d never heard of before. What can I say except – I have(…)

Note: Risk of spoilers for the series. Dear Ms. Franklin, Those who have fallen under the spell of Vesuvia Adelia Rachel Ortese Aguilar, the "Mistress of the Art of Death," will get all excited over book three of this historical mystery series. I know I squeed with glee when my copy arrived. God bless the(…)

Dear Ms. Raybourn, After reading the second book in the Lady Julia Grey mystery series last year (I’ve since bought but still not read book one) and quickly learning that there was to be a third book, I was eagerly anticipating it. And bless you, you didn’t let me down when I pulled out our(…)
