REVIEW:  Fury of Fire (Dragonfury Series #1) by Coreene Callahan

REVIEW: Fury of Fire (Dragonfury Series #1) by Coreene Callahan

Dear Ms. Callahan: I did receive a copy of your book from a publicist to review but I ended up buying the book from Amazon as I believe it was discounted at one point and I prefer to read digital over paper. I had heard good things about your book and was excited to read(…)

REVIEW:  Geared for Pleasure by Rachel Grace

REVIEW: Geared for Pleasure by Rachel Grace

Dear Ms. Grace: This is a two story collection and while the world was intriguing, I felt like I was only given tiny glimpses of what could be instead of a full fledged immersion into a new world. I’m not sure if it was because of the two story structure or whether the teasing reveal(…)

REVIEW: Oracle’s Moon by Thea Harrison

REVIEW: Oracle’s Moon by Thea Harrison

Dear Ms Harrison, While I enjoyed Dragon Bound, the first novel in your Elder Races series of paranormal romances, I had a hard time finishing the second novel, Storm’s Heart. The third book, Serpent‘s Kiss, felt rushed and left me unsatisfied. I went into your latest novel, Oracle’s Moon, hopeful, but worried. I wanted the(…)

REVIEW: Fever by Joan Swan

REVIEW: Fever by Joan Swan

Dear Ms. Swan: I had not planned to read this book. I kind of recoil from the blend of paranormal mysticism and romantic suspense. For some reason these blends don’t appeal to me even though I have read and enjoyed them in the past (Dream Man and Now You See Her by Linda Howard, for(…)

REVIEW: Firelight by Kristin Callihan

REVIEW: Firelight by Kristin Callihan

Dear Ms. Callihan, While historical romances aren’t my favored genre, I do love paranormal romances. If I pick up a historical, more often than not there’s a whiff of the paranormal in it. I remember first hearing about your debut novel several months ago and it sounded interesting enough that it stayed on my radar.(…)

REVIEW: Immortal Hope by Claire Ashgrove

REVIEW: Immortal Hope by Claire Ashgrove

Dear Ms. Ashgrove: This book came to my attention because someone mentioned that you were the same author as Tori St. Claire. I reviewed your erotic romance, Stripped, earlier this month. Immortal Hope’s world building follows in a long line of paranormal romance books that feature the wounded hero who needs to find his mate(…)

Review: Bound by Night by Amanda Ashley

Review: Bound by Night by Amanda Ashley

Dear Ms. Ashley. I have no idea where to start with this review. My reactions to this book ranged from glee to boredom. The heroine is a personality-free wimp. The hero is an ass. The story brings nothing new to the table and reads like fanfiction. And yet every time I told myself I would(…)

REVIEW:  Demons Are Forever by Julie Kenner

REVIEW: Demons Are Forever by Julie Kenner

Dear Ms Kenner, Two summers ago, “Carpe Demon” grabbed me and pulled me into the world of Kate Connor, retired fourth level Demon hunter now living in a small Southern California town. Last year “California Demon” kept up the action as Kate, now brought back into active demon hunting, polished her skills, saved her hometown(…)

REVIEW:  The Unfortunate Miss Fortunes by Jennifer Crusie, Eileen Dreyer and Anne Stuart

REVIEW: The Unfortunate Miss Fortunes by Jennifer Crusie, Eileen Dreyer and Anne Stuart

Dear Authors: A couple of weeks ago there was a small online furor over the Publishers Weekly review of Jennifer Crusie, Eileen Dreyer, and Anne Stuart‘s collaborative book The Unfortunate Miss Fortunes. The review referred to the book as three novellas, concluding with the hope that “the authors’ next collaboration will be on a single,(…)

REVIEW:  Slave to Sensation by Nalini Singh

REVIEW: Slave to Sensation by Nalini Singh

Dear Ms. Singh: Your story presents a complex but not complicated paranormal inhabited by strong personalities. The plot is fairly simple. Lucas Hunter, the alpha of the DarkRiver leopard pack, is searching for a Psy serial killer who is kidnapping, torturing and killing changeling women. In order to find out more about the mysterious Psy,(…)
