Dear Ms. Harris: Now that I read so much in digital, I don’t pay as much attention to book covers as I used to. But the cover for Dead Ever After says so much about the book itself, that I’m tempted to tell people who wonder how the series ends to take their cues from(…)

Dear Ms. Frost: I think I received this book in paper format, but I actually bought the digital copy when it was released on Tuesday because that is my preferred way of reading. I bought the book for three reasons. First, I had read the first one and it ended in somewhat of a cliffhanger(…)

Dear Ms. Ward: I’ll be honest — I was a rabid fan of the first three books in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. In fact, I’ll still pull out Lover Eternal sometimes, because I enjoy Rhage and Mary’s story so much. But as the series turned more towards Urban Fantasy and became more epic in(…)

Dear Ms. Briggs: I am constantly amazed at how consistently good these books are. I don’t mind waiting a year between books if it means that each story is as good as the last one. “Frost Burned” is the seventh book in the Mercedes Thompson series. Mercedes is an auto repair mechanic and coyote, a(…)

Dear Caris Roane: This is the last of the series of books published by St. Martin’s Press in the Guardians of Ascension series. This was a crazy, cracktastic, derivative series and I must have been the only one who enjoyed them. The series is about the fight over Second Earth. Commander Greaves is a creature(…)

Dear Ms. Cole: When I first read the review thoughts of Mandi from SmexyBooks on this book and she sounded, well, bored by a book that she described as a classic Cole, I thought to myself that it was impossible for a book to be a signature Cole and be boring. But after reading the(…)

Dear Ms. Zannetti I had high hopes for this book. You are a new to me author and I was excited to dive into this series, even though I was starting with book 5. I fully understood the world as was presented in the book as it is fairly simple. Kane Kayrs and his family(…)

Dear Ms. Sizemore: Personal Demon is an extension of your popular Laws of the Blood series that I enjoyed quite a bit. What I recall enjoying about the series was the unromanticized version of vampires; there was a careless brutality and a seeming near constant jockeying for power amongst the vampires. It was more akin(…)

Dear Ms. Byrne: When I began this book, I had only vague memories of the vampire series you wrote several years ago. This story takes place shortly after Damned by the Blood and involves Alya Adad sending her Hand, Eva Sosa Padillo, to the northwoods of Minnesota to seek out the clan of the vampire(…)

Story & Art: Touya Tobina Publisher: Hakusensha/Viz Rated: T+ for older teen Volumes: 2/5 Dear readers, A few weeks ago, I read the first volume of Jiu Jiu, a shoujo manga series about Takamichi, the heir of a demon hunting family, and her two shapeshifting bodyguard-familiars, Night and Snow. Although the pacing was uneven, I(…)

Dear Ms. Roane: I am a big fan of the Guardians of Ascension series and I was excited to see another volume from you despite it being in a different world. Unfortunately, the quality of the writing in this self published novella (or published with the help of an agency) is just not as strong(…)

Dear Ms. Frost: I haven’t read you in a quite a while but many readers, including those in my “trust” circle thought this was a great story. Given that it was the start of a new series, I felt like I could safely enter the world without being too confused. I was able to rustle(…)

Dear Ms. Roane: I tell everyone I know about your books. I even shared the story of Parisia and Micah’s with some random taxi cab driver in Chicage because the tangerine craziness is something that I can’t keep to myself (although in searching the DA archives it appears that I have not reviewed this masterpiece.(…)

Dear Ms. Augustine, Lately, I’ve been suffering from a problem that affects many paranormal romance fans: Sexy Vampire Fatigue. Yes, I’m kind of tired of sexy vampires. I miss the scary vampires. The blurb for your novella Bound for Trouble promised a sci-fi world in which vampires once brutally ruled humanity, but are now imprisoned(…)

Dear Ms. Ward: I haven’t read a book in this series since Book 5. My interest waned as I felt the series moved farther away from the core romance base where the series was birthed. I read the flyleaf of the hardcover when I received my complimentary copy and discovered that this was the love(…)
