Dear Ms. McCarthy: I’ve really enjoyed this series and with the release of the series in mass market from the original trade publications, I think you might start finding the audience you deserve. The vampire genre is full but I do believe there is always room for well done fun fiction and this series surely(…)

Dear Ms. Adrian, In November, Jane reviewed your novel and threw down a gauntlet to the fans of J.R. Ward. When the first novel of your Breed series was released, I admit I read the first chapter in the bookstore and then put it back on the shelf. It didn’t grab my attention and even(…)

Dear Ms. Stein, I love urban fantasy but lately I’ve found myself getting tired of the genre. Too many books feature the usual suspects (vampires) and the same plot conflicts (love triangles). So when Jane sent me a copy of your book, I admit I sighed. A vampire bounty hunter? And a comparison to Anita(…)

Dear Ms. Forrest, I don’t think it’s inaccurate to say that there are a lot of vampire series to be found in the paranormal subgenre. While there seems to be growing weariness about their prevalence, vampires have many loyal readers and as long as that continues, vampire books will continue getting published. But I also(…)

Dear Ms. Adrian: I finished your book at 12:28 a.m. on November 11. I know the exact time because when I was done reading the book, I ran to my computer to type out my thoughts – to try to capture the emotional high I was on when I finished reading the book. I am(…)

Dear Ms. Frost: The back of your book reads “If Buffy and Angel had a daughter, she’d be just like Cat Crawfield.” What wasn’t included was that Buffy’s daughter would then end up dating and falling in love with Spike, her mother’s boyfriend. Cat Crawfield is a half vampire/half human woman. She was created violently(…)

Dear Ms. Ward: I’ve referred to you as romance crack before. Your books are addictive, like a pharmaceutical grade narcotic, that makes a reader hot for the next book before the current book is even concluded. Unfortunately, I think I got a bad batch and wonder what I should do about it. On the one(…)

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. Hill: When I was perusing the Penguin catalog, the striking cover grabbed my eye. I then saw that you were the author of said book and thought to myself that I had to have this book. Unfortunately, this was back in December and the book wasn’t due out until July. I knew that(…)

When I read Meljean Brook's Demon Angel, I was riveted by the first half of the book and slowed down by the second half. In reading Demon Moon I had the same experience but in reverse –" with an almost identical overall result. Like Demon Angel, Demon Moon is an ambitious, richly layered, intense, flawed(…)

Dear Ms. Adrian I had a difficult time reviewing this book. It’s a vampire series at a time when there is a glut in the vampire genre. It features a super alpha male vampire who struggles against his nature to feed and a woman who basically is alone, who finds completion in her vampire lover’s(…)

Dear Ms Kenner, I grandly announce that I’m tired of vampires and don’t intend to read many more books featuring them just at the time when you so kindly sent me some books and arcs, one of which was about a vampire. Oh dear what do I do now? Read it of course! And get(…)

Dear Ms. Vieh: While the first book in this series is my favorite, Night Lost takes a close second. It highlights all the strong elements that I loved in If Angels Burn and brings to the forefront a very romantic tale of souls finding each other against extreme odds. Gabriel Seran was captured by the(…)

Dear Mrs Carsen, Thanks for sending us a copy of your ebook “Not Quite Dead.” I think it’s the first time I’ve read a book featuring this particular type of paranormal hero and to be honest, I’m still trying to name him. Is he a zombie? Or should we just settle on the term “undead?”(…)

Dear Ms Bartlett, I have to be honest and tell you that if this hadn’t’ve been a review book, I wouldn’t have gotten more than 1/2 way through it. As it was, I kept trying to think positively and flipping pages. At the halfway mark, I started skimming. By the end, I knew I would(…)
