REVIEW: Alpha and Omega and Cry Wolf by Patricia Briggs

By Janine • Jul 21st, 2008 • Category: A Review Category, A Reviews, Reviews

Dear Ms. Briggs,
Once in a while there comes a book that sweeps you off your feet, a book you fall in love with so completely that it is hard to do justice to that love in a review. Alpha and Omega and Cry Wolf made me feel that way.

By Janet • Oct 8th, 2007 • Category: B Reviews Category, B- Reviews, Reviews

Dear Ms. Cole:
I am so glad that I read Wicked Deeds on a Winter’s Night a second time before I wrote this review. My first time through I was so frustrated by the interminable obstacles to Bowen and Mariketa’s relationship that I could barely focus on anything else. But when I went back [...]

Dear Ms. Roberts:
