JOINT REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY:  The Firebird by Susanna Kearsley

JOINT REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY: The Firebird by Susanna Kearsley

Dear Ms. Kearsley: I’ve been eagerly awaiting the U.S. release of this book for months. It incorporates characters and settings from two of your previous books, The Winter Sea and The Shadowy Horses.

REVIEW:  Mind Games by Kiersten White

REVIEW: Mind Games by Kiersten White

Dear Ms. White, Despite hearing good things about your Paranormalcy trilogy, I haven’t had the chance to pick them up yet. My paranormal weariness usually results in my passing over books in favor of something fresh and new (to me). But when I heard that you were writing a thriller about sisters, I was intrigued.(…)

REVIEW:  Hanging by a Thread by Sophie Littlefield

REVIEW: Hanging by a Thread by Sophie Littlefield

Dear Ms. Littlefield, Your name’s been on my radar for a while now. Alas, I’m teetering on burnout when it comes to post-apocalyptic novels so I’ve consistently given your Harlequin Luna series a pass. This is no fault of your own. It’s all on me. But when I saw your new novel, a YA, on(…)

Dear Ms. Price, I’ve heard your name mentioned whenever readers talk about their favorite m/m mysteries and paranormals. You’ve even been the subject of an If You Like column here at Dear Author. But although I’ve read your first two sets of Petit Morts stories, I never read any of your own series or standalone(…)

REVIEW: Haven by Kristi Cook

REVIEW: Haven by Kristi Cook

Dear Ms. Cook, I fear I’m growing weary of paranormal YA, in much the same way I did for urban fantasy a few years back. I’m still willing to give the subgenre a try because sometimes all it takes is one book to make you fall in love again, but it’s going to take much(…)

JOINT REVIEW: Kiss of Snow by Nalini Singh

Janine: I’ve been hankering for Nalini Singh’s Kiss of Snow ever since I realized Hawke would be paired with Sienna, and was so excited to receive the ARC that even though I was in the middle of two other books, I dropped them to read this one the day I got it. When I had(…)
