REVIEW: Blood Dreams by Kay Hooper

By Jane • Jan 9th, 2008 • Category: B Reviews Category, B- Reviews, Reviews

Dear Ms. Hooper:
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: Ice Storm by Anne Stuart

By Jayne • Oct 29th, 2007 • Category: C Reviews, C Reviews Category, Reviews

Dear Mrs. Stuart,
I should have known better. After all, I had problems with “Black Ice,” I wasn’t that thrilled with “Cold as Ice” and I wasn’t tempted to try “Ice Blue.” But when Jane sent me the arc for “Ice Storm” I just couldn’t resist hoping that I’d “get” this one better than the [...]

By Jayne • May 26th, 2007 • Category: B Reviews Category, B- Reviews, Reviews

Dear Ms Kenner,

REVIEW: Dead Shot by Annie Solomon

By Jane • Feb 28th, 2007 • Category: B Reviews Category, B+ Reviews, Reviews

Dear Ms. Solomon:
To say that I was impressed by this book is an understatement. You always know, as a reader, that a book is good when at the close the book, you immediately get the yen to go to the bookstore and find more on the author's work. Which is what happened to [...]



REVIEW: Black Ice by Anne Stuart

By Jayne • Jun 12th, 2006 • Category: C Reviews, C Reviews Category, Reviews

Dear Mrs Stuart,
I’m glad to see you get back to your nihilistic, “don’t give a shit” heroes but somehow being reminded over and over that Bastien is such a man took some of it away. All right, I wanted to say, I got the picture the first time and you don’t need to [...]
