REVIEW:  Kamikaze by Moira Rogers

REVIEW: Kamikaze by Moira Rogers

Dear Ms. Rogers, I saw Kamikaze listed as a free book and an introduction to your new self-published series, Last Call. The cover seemed eye-catching enough and the blurb promised smoking hot action. Sounds good to me. This read did exactly what it promised – it was short and physical. Unfortunately I struggled to connect [...]

REVIEW: Broods of Fenrir by Coral Moore

REVIEW: Broods of Fenrir by Coral Moore

Dear Ms. Moore Thank you for sending me your book for review. I was sold when you told me that this werewolf story was based on the Norse mythology and involved a lot of discussion of pack dynamics.  While I appreciated the fresh take on the werewolf myth and the focus on the pack, I [...]

REVIEW: Fair Game by Patricia Briggs

REVIEW: Fair Game by Patricia Briggs

Dear Ms Briggs, I’m not just an avid reader of your Mercy Thompson series and your Alpha & Omega series, I’m the sort of fan who counts off the days until your next book like a kid counting the days until Christmas. But the problem with Christmas is that the wait can make even good [...]

REVIEW: A SEAL in Wolf’s Clothing by Terry Spear

REVIEW: A SEAL in Wolf’s Clothing by Terry Spear

Dear Ms. Spear: I mentioned a while back that I wanted to read your werewolf series and somehow your publisher, Sourcebooks, caught wind of this and the publicist sent me your entire series, both backlist and an ARC of the next book.  I was overwhelmed with the generosity and sat down immediately with book one. [...]

REVIEW: By the Pale Moonlight by Jennifer Hendren

REVIEW: By the Pale Moonlight by Jennifer Hendren

Dear Ms. Hendren: Your book came to my attention through the recommendation sent to Sarah and I via our podcast email. In the podcast, Sarah and I both buy the book. I hoped it was going to be as awesome as promised, unfortunately this young adult novel read as juvenile as its characters. There was [...]

REVIEW: Pack and Coven by Jody Wallace

REVIEW: Pack and Coven by Jody Wallace

Dear Ms. Wallace: In my quest to read more pack romance fiction, I requested this book from NetGalley.  You left a comment here in our February Open Thread for Authors about the book stating that it contained a nice alpha werewolf who had no interest in being a pack leader: It does not have fated mates. [...]

REVIEW: The Gathering Storm by Robin Bridges

REVIEW: The Gathering Storm by Robin Bridges

Dear Ms. Bridges, I first encountered your debut novel on NetGalley. I admit I’ve always been fond of historical YA, especially if there’s a paranormal flavor. Your book sounded like the ticket. It was a nice change of pace from the urban fantasies and dystopians overwhelming the genre right now. The unique setting was just [...]

REVIEW: Alpha Instinct by Katie Reus

REVIEW: Alpha Instinct by Katie Reus

Dear Ms. Reus: Anyone who listens to the podcasts will know that I (and Sarah Wendell) are huge fans of werewolf books, particularly those that involve a pack dynamic. I was so excited to read this story. The promotional materials refers to the heroine being an Alpha and a “strong leader.”  Apparently being a strong [...]

REVIEW: Fateful by Claudia Gray

REVIEW: Fateful by Claudia Gray

Dear Ms. Gray, I’ve never read your other series, but as soon as I heard the pitch for this book, I knew I had to have it. Werewolves on the Titanic? How can I resist?  I’m always on the lookout for an intriguing twist, and this sounded perfect. While this book was enjoyable and the [...]
