VIDEO REVIEW: Courtesan’s Daughter by Claudia Dain, All Four Parts

And you thought we would never finish (me too frankly). I actually had a post in draft that said “I’m sorry but we’ve come to the conclusion that three parts is enough for any video review.” But last night we dragged ourselves into the dungeon and finished our project. You can read the text review(…)

REVIEW:  Real Vampires Have Curves by Gerry Bartlett

REVIEW: Real Vampires Have Curves by Gerry Bartlett

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(…)
