Dear Ms. Smith, There’s a lot to be said of having a vampire novel out on the market today. With Twilight’s soaring popularity, it’s only natural publishers try and cash in on it. I’d seen Tantalize before, but I had read some pretty scathing reviews on the book so I didn’t really think anything of(…)

Dear Ms. Abé, I have been a big fan of your drakon series since reading the first book, The Smoke Thief. The most recent and fourth book, The Treasure Keeper, was really the first book in the series that disappointed me. The relationship between the hero and heroine was greatly hampered by the fact that the hero(…)

Dear Ms. Kane, I am not a big horror fan. I don’t find movies like Paranormal Activity, Resident Evil or 28 Days Later enjoyable. And for clarifcation purposes, I love Blade Runner, 12 Monkeys and Serenity. I nearly got thrown out of business class once when I kept yelping aloud during Signs and I was(…)

Dear Ms. Cabot, Your books are known as some of the best YA chick lit out there. How To Be Popular was my first book of yours, and it’s combination cuteness and morality was hilarious and made for a great read. The only other book of yours I’ve read is Avalon High, which really was(…)

Jane’s Note: Someone more adept at gathering and collating information contacted me about doing a guest post on paranormal books from the perspective of what editors are buying. The numbers were interesting and I was glad to post the following: Paranormal has been the hot genre for years now – readers (and publishers) can't seem(…)

Dear Ms. Granger, Let’s face it: I love romance in space, having to do with space, or having the element of the alien (and I don’t mean Sigourney Weaver Alien). Nowadays it seems particularly hard to get past all of the vamps and shifters and move off (or into the future/alternate past/Star Wars) of this(…)

Dear Josh Lanyon, As our interview with Lorelie Brown says, the Roaring Twenties/Prohibition seems to be “in” now. I know I’ve just recently got three books set in this era and I couldn’t be happier about it. When Samhain offered us your latest novella, “The Dark Farewell,” I jumped at it. But despite a good(…)

Dear Ms. Ward, It may surprise you to know that I didn’t hop on the Black Dagger Brotherhood bandwagon until Lover Revealed was released. Before anyone has an aneurysm, know that I did pick up all the books in the series and read them in order. Like many other fans out there, I was inexplicably sucked into(…)

Dear Ms. Ward, Since discovering the Black Dagger Brotherhood at the second book in the series, Lover Eternal, I have been addicted. The BDB guys are hot, sexy, powerful and all flawed in some horrific way that has provided plenty of angst and strife that each guy has worked to overcome with the help of(…)

Dear Ms. Cole: It is no secret that I am a big fan of your Immortals After Dark series, and I have certainly made no secret of the fact that the Lykae "fated mate" books are not among my favorites. In Pleasure of A Dark Prince, I really enjoyed the way Lucia and Garreth had(…)

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(…)

Dear Ms. White: I am a reluctant paranormal reader these days. Everything seems so common that it’s hard to generate excitement. This book came to me on the recommendation of someone whose previous recommendations had worked out for me and so I took a chance. I was so glad that I did. This is a(…)

SPOILER ALERT: If you have not read Angel’s Blood, the cover and this entire review will be a spoiler. LOOK AWAY! LOOK AWAY!! Dear Ms. Singh: I’m not certain that I’ll be able to adequately articulate why I enjoyed this book so much but I did. Since the time that I received the book up(…)

Dear Ms. Showalter, I read Playing With Fire when it came out in 2006 and enjoyed it, enough to hope that there would be a sequel. I realize that the book was subtitled Tales of an Extraordinary Girl, and wasn’t sure how much mileage you’d get out of a single character romance. I also didn’t(…)

Dear Ms. McCleave: I am beginning to think I’m one of the few readers out there who has not died from paranormal overload. I realize that in my deepest heart of hearts, I am a sci/fi fantasy geek of the highest degree, which is probably what is insulating me from said overload. I had a(…)
