Caris Roane Born of Ashes
January 16, 2012

REVIEW: Born of Ashes by Caris Roane

JaneD Reviewsalternate universe / angels / Caris Roane / fated mates / vampires12 Comments

Dear Ms. Roane: I have been a fan of your books since the first in the series. Yes, I do kind of make fun of the books but I’m really making fun of myself for being in thrall to the world that you are building and the idea of these ... more >

REVIEW: All That Bleeds by Kimberly Frost

JaneC- Reviewsbeauty-pageant / Berkley Books / gods / vampires10 Comments

Dear Ms. Frost: This book ended up being too frothy for me. Alissa is a Muse and as such her role in life is to inspire those around her. The big concept in the book is that the heroine is competing to be the Best Muse of All (or for ... more >

Review: Bound by Night by Amanda Ashley

DA_JanuaryBook Reviews / C- Reviewskensington / paranormal romance / vampires28 Comments

Dear Ms. Ashley. I have no idea where to start with this review. My reactions to this book ranged from glee to boredom. The heroine is a personality-free wimp. The hero is an ass. The story brings nothing new to the table and reads like fanfiction. And yet every time ... more >

Lord of the Vampires Gena Showalter
October 11, 2011

REVIEW: Lord of the Vampires by Gena Showalter

DA_JanuaryC- ReviewsFantasy Romance / Gena-Showalter / Nocturne / Paranormal / vampires19 Comments

Dear Ms. Showalter, You’re one of those authors I feel I should love. Your story ideas are creative and inventive. You’re prolific – one of my favorite traits in an author. Your online personality is sweet and easygoing.  And yet for some reason, your books and I never seem to ... more >
