REVIEW: Iron Kissed by Patricia Briggs

By Jia • Feb 19th, 2008 • Category: C Reviews Category, C+ Reviews, Reviews

Dear Ms. Briggs,
I’ve been putting off writing this review for some time. As readers, we each have our own preferences and quirks in what we like to read. We also have our personal hot buttons with regards to what we don’t. While I liked the first two-thirds of Iron Kissed, the last third hit my [...]

My First Sale by Patricia Briggs, Still a Little Surprised at Being Published

By Jane • Jan 4th, 2008 • Category: Interviews, Misc

Dragon Bones and Dragon Blood. Book 2 has a fantastic romance. I was thrilled when Briggs began writing urban fantasy, one of my current favorite sub genres. The Mercy Thompson series has grown better with each successive book. I’m not the only one who feels that way. Her current release, Iron [...]

REVIEW: On the Prowl by Patrica Briggs, Eileen Wilks, Karen Chance and Sunny

By Jane • Aug 15th, 2007 • Category: B Reviews Category, B- Reviews, C Reviews, C Reviews Category, D Reviews, Reviews

In On the Prowl, four authors try to jump the bridge from fantasy to romance with varying degrees of success. This is an area which is not well populated so I like the concept and hope for better execution in the future. Great cover, though.

By Janine • Feb 10th, 2007 • Category: B Reviews Category, B+ Reviews, Reviews

Dear Ms. Briggs,
Mercedes Thompson is a funny name for an auto mechanic, but then Mercy, the narrator and heroine of Moon Called is not your usual auto mechanic. She's a walker, not only capable of shifting into coyote shape at will but also possessed of a sharp nose for scenting other creatures and an ability [...]



REVIEW: Blood Bound by Patricia Briggs

By Jane • Jan 27th, 2007 • Category: A Review Category, A- Reviews, Reviews

Dear Ms. Briggs:
As I was reading this book last night, I turned to Ned with an epiphany. “Ned,” I said, “When an author of a fantasy book can make you believe her truths, that’s a great book.” He replied, “that’s why I read fantasy.” Indeed. You have the unique gift of [...]



REVIEW: Moon Called by Patricia Briggs

Dear Ms. Briggs:
So where have you been all my reading life? Oh, hanging out in the sci/fantasy aisle? Well, get your pub to move you to the romance aisle. You get tons more traffic. And paranormal romance right now? Very very hot.
I bought your book based on the banging cover and the cool blurb. I [...]
