Dear Ms. Shearin, I’ve been looking forward to ‘Con & Conjure’ the next installment of your Raine Benares series since shortly after finishing your last book, ‘Bewitched & Betrayed’ and I’m glad to say I wasn’t disappointed. Our heroine Raine Benares, still linked to the soul eating Saghred which gives her access to almost unlimited(…)

Dear Ms. Singh: I feel like I am being a bit disloyal to the Psy/Changeling series by admitting that right now I am enjoying the Angel series more but it’s true. Even though we only get one book a year in this series (or maybe because we only get one book a year), I always(…)

Dear Ms. Pang, I’m a recovering burned-out reader of adult urban fantasy. These days it’s so difficult for me to pick up a novel in the subgenre and read it from beginning to end. But that doesn’t stop me from trying because the perpetual optimist in me still hopes to find that novel that’ll make(…)

Dear Ms. Moning, ShadowFever delivered all the answers I wanted to know about your fascinating world of human and Fae, and yet, after my late-night read-a-thon I feel about ShadowFever like Mac feels about herself through much of the book: bipolar. ShadowFever is the culmination of the search for the Sinsar Dubh, a ageless Fae(…)

Dear Ms. Moning, Hi, my name is Jaclyn and I am a Fever-aholic. This is a post about addiction. Yes, dear ones, I did read book four of the Fever series, DreamFever, by candlelight because the electricity went out the night I got my hands on a copy. I started reading this series in 2006,(…)

Dear Ms. Barnes, Many moons ago, when Smart Bitches, Trashy Books hosted a bookchat for this book. I finished it a mere two hours beforehand, but I was so glad I did. The chat was amazing, but more so was the actual book. The bitchery and I discussed so many excellent topics for about it(…)

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Andrews: Other than Magic Mourns, the short story that was included in the Must Love Hellhounds anthology, I haven’t read any of your Kate Daniels series. I’m not sure why Kate Daniels unfortunately flew completely under my radar, but due to my giant, listing TBR stack, I doubt I’ll end up(…)

Dear Mr. & Ms. Andrews, The changeling William Wolf was introduced to readers in your earlier book, On the Edge. On your website, Mr. Andrews states in that book, William "lost Rose to Declan and did not save the day. This book [Bayou Moon] was his chance to be a hero, to get the girl.(…)

Dear Ms. Slyvan: I would have never read this book if Angela James hadn’t recommended it to me. It is published by ACE and while I love some ACE authors like Patricia Briggs and Ilona Andrews, I associate the line with more straight up urban fantasy, fantasy and science fiction than any kind of romance.(…)

Dear Ms. Armstrong, I’m a long-time fan of yours. My first exposure to your work was Bitten, the first novel in your Otherworld series about the only female werewolf in existence, several years ago before urban fantasy took off and became the sprawling subgenre it is today. I know I’ve said in the past that(…)

Dear Ms. Mackenzie, I’ve been a huge fan of mythology, and remember consciously discovering it in fourth grade with the study of Greece and Greek mythology. Disclosure time: I spent the latter half of summer prior to entering fourth grade reading the Greek myths. I really wanted to be Artemis and spend my days hunting(…)

Dear Ms. Johnson, I’ve made no secret of my general malaise when it comes to the urban fantasy genre. I overloaded on it during its boom period, and I still don’t think I’ve entirely recovered. That said, I’m always willing to give a book a chance, especially when it tries to do something different with(…)
