REVIEW: Foundation by Mercedes Lackey

By Jia • Oct 9th, 2008 • Category: B Reviews, B Reviews Category, Reviews

Dear Ms. Lackey,
When I was a young teenager, I devoured your Valdemar novels.  They were my favorite books and I was a very loyal reader.  I eventually outgrew them, as it sometimes happens, but I still look back on them fondly.  You write a special brand of animal companion fantasy about ostracized, [...]



REVIEW: Blood Memories by Barb Hendee

By Jia • Oct 6th, 2008 • Category: B Reviews, B Reviews Category, Reviews

Dear Ms. Hendee,
While I haven’t read them, I’m more familiar with your traditional fantasy books co-written with your husband.  I had no idea you were even working on an urban fantasy novel until I opened up a package Jane sent me and found this book’s cover staring up at me.  I’ve said in the [...]



REVIEW: Hungry for More by Diana Holquist

By Jane • Sep 23rd, 2008 • Category: B Reviews Category, B- Reviews, Reviews

Dear Ms. Holquist:
I almost didn’t write this review because it was such a struggle for me to pinpoint why I didn’t respond well to it given that I liked The Sexiest Man Alive so much. Ultimately, I think I failed to connect to the hero and heroine in a “it’s not [...]



REVIEW: Dark Light by Jayne Castle

By Jane • Sep 6th, 2008 • Category: B Reviews Category, B- Reviews, Reviews

Dear Ms. Castle:
>I haven’t read all your Harmony stories but I admit to enjoying them quite a bit even though, at times, I have felt like they were futuristic lite. Maybe I was just in a good mood when I read this one, but the story worked for me this time.

This is the 10th entry in the Special Crimes Unit led by FBI Special Agent Noah Bishop. For the uninitiated, Bishop is an individual with a great psychic gift who has made a career of collecting other gifted people to join the fight against crime and evil perpetrating crime. There is [...]



REVIEW: Dream Man by Linda Howard

By Jane • Nov 14th, 2006 • Category: A Review Category, A- Reviews, Reviews

Dear Ms. Howard:
I know that you won’t be reading this letter as you are not an onliner, but let me tell you about my love for Dream Man. To some, this is a terrible book filled with a terrible betrayal by the hero. To me, it shows the extent I will overlook things [...]



REVIEW: You Don’t Know Jack by Erin McCarthy

By Jane • Oct 17th, 2006 • Category: B Reviews, B Reviews Category, Ebooks, Reviews

Dear Ms. McCarthy:
Jay, the poor misguided fool who thought she wanted to be a lawyer and now who cannot read for pleasure because all she does is read opinions, really enjoys your books and has been trying to get me to read them for months now. You Don’t Know Jack was an ebook and [...]
