Dear Ms. Laurenston: For those readers who are looking for stronger and sassier women in Romance, your Magnus Pack series may be a perfect match. When I got Here Kitty, Kitty, the third and final installment in the paranormal adventures of best friends Sara Morrighan, Miki Kendrick, and Angelina Santiago, I hadn't even heard of(…)

Dear Ms. Meyer: My blogging partner, Jayne, commented to me a week or so ago that I had better love this book else I would die at the point of the exclamation mark considering the liberal use of them by your fans. I am prepared to be skewered because Eclipse was even a bigger disappointment(…)

Dear Ms Handeland, I think I’ve figured it out. With each location change, I find the books in the Nighcreatures series get fresh and interesting again. Then as the series continues in that location, things get stale, you have to pull out more tricks to keep things interesting and I lose interest. With the geographical(…)

Dear Ms. Dodd: When I first heard that you were doing a paranormal series, I was a bit skeptical. Not every author has made the transition from contemporary or historical to paranormal well. I also will admit that I haven’t read you in years (2003 to be exact) because I was quite perturbed at your(…)

Dear Ms. Vincent: I was excited about your book after Angie W blogged about it a few months ago. It is an urban fantasy, shapeshifter romance and I really like those books. It’s told in the first person. With a first person narrative, we readers have to WANT to root for the character’s successes and(…)

Dear Ms. Armstrong: I first fell in love with you when I read Bitten in 2001. Since then I believe I’ve read the book, oh 10 times. Throughout the Women of the Underworld series, one man has been present–quiet, strong, steady. Jaime Vegas is a necromancer with a crush on said man, the Alpha of(…)

Dear Ms Cassidy, Finally, I finished reading this series. Though it’s not your fault, the final grade for this one ends up being affected by the fact that at this point, I’m tired of the same old same old in the paranormals I’ve been reading lately. I won’t list specifics to avoid spoilers for this(…)

I saw this book featured on someone’s blog. The short blurb intrigued me and I went to the site and read the excerpt which really intrigued me. I immediately sent off an email to the Ace contact I have and begged for the book. The book was every bit as good as the excerpt promised.(…)

Dear Ms. Arthur, You have the benefit of Bantam’s unique publishing/promotional effort of back to back to back publishing so that fans that are eager to read your books do not need to wait six months or an entire year, but rather one measly month. After Kissing Sin, I was interested but not excited to(…)

Dear Ms. Briggs, Mercedes Thompson is a funny name for an auto mechanic, but then Mercy, the narrator and heroine of Moon Called is not your usual auto mechanic. She's a walker, not only capable of shifting into coyote shape at will but also possessed of a sharp nose for scenting other creatures and an(…)

Dear Ms. Briggs: As I was reading this book last night, I turned to Ned with an epiphany. “Ned,” I said, “When an author of a fantasy book can make you believe her truths, that’s a great book.” He replied, “that’s why I read fantasy.” Indeed. You have the unique gift of being able to(…)

Dear Ms. Wilks: I opened your book and read the introductory letter to the reader with some glee. It suggested that whatever had happened in the second book, Mortal Danger, was maybe just a fantasy and outside of the world realm that you had created with the fantastic introduction to the series, Tempting Danger. Alas,(…)

Dear Ms. Abé, Imagine a place so ripe and thick with the promise of magic that the very air breathes in plumes of pearl and gray and smoky blue; that the trees bow with the weight of their heavy branches, dipping low to the ground, dropping needles and leaves into beds of perfume. A place(…)

Dear Ms. Cole, A variety of supernatural beings walk the earth in the world you have created in this book. The heroine, Emmaline Troy, is half-vampire, half-Valkyrie. Her Valkyrie mother died in childbirth and Emma has been raised by the Valkyries, warrior maidens who don’t know anything about her vampire father. Vampires are capable of(…)
