About Jaclyn

The first book Jaclyn can recall reading all by herself was Cinderella (a pink Disney edition) and all these years later she remains an avid reader of fairy tales, myths, and historical romances. Jaclyn's TBR also overflows with science fiction, fantasy, paranormal, urban fantasy, contemporary, thrillers, and mystery. During the workday she can be found navigating the digital transformation at a university press.

REVIEW: Angels of Darkness by Ilona Andrews, Meljean Brook, Sharon Shinn, and Nalini Singh

JaclynB- Reviews / Book Reviewsangels / Anthology / Guild Hunter series / Nalini-Singh / Paranormal / POC author / Romance / Sharon-Shinn17 Comments

Dear Mss. Andrews, Brook, Shinn, and Singh, Are angels the new vampires in romance novels? It seems like the number of books starring angels continues to expand exponentially. When choosing to write about angels (or winged beings, in the case of the Guardians), authors invite introspection from readers about the ... more >

REVIEW: Isle of Night by Veronica Wolff

JaclynA Reviews / A- ReviewsAssassin / coming-of-age / Scotland / vampires / Young-Adult9 Comments

Dear Ms. Wolff,  Jaclyn says: When I opened to page one of Isle of Night I was expecting a historical romance set in Scotland—presumably on the Isle of Night. The ARC I had didn’t have a cover image and because I have enjoyed your books in the past I did ... more >

What Jaclyn Is Reading, September 2011

JaclynReading ListsCara McKenna / Carolyn Jewel / Nalini-Singh / Reading lists26 Comments

I read a lot in September, like holy-guacamole a lot. There is a letterpress broad side on the wall of my office with a quote from Erasmus that reads, “When I get a little money I buy BOOKS; and if any is left I buy food and clothes.” I think ... more >

What is Jaclyn Reading, Week of August 30

JaclynReading ListsCaris Roane / helenkay-dimon / Jill Myles / Reading lists6 Comments

August is getting labeled with ‘explore new-to-me authors’. Last week I went on a sample downloading binge, inspired by January’s Spoil of War review (that review made me ask, what in the world is getting published, self or otherwise?), which means I’ve been reading a ton on my phone instead ... more >

What Jaclyn is Reading, Week of August 8

JaclynReading ListsAbout-Us / Carolyn Crane / Christina-Dodd / Jill Myles / Jill-Shalvis / Lila-Dubois / Nalini-Singh / Reading lists28 Comments

I may be the slowest writer and least frequent reviewer of the DA crew, but I surely do read a lot. I have this funny (at least it’s funny to my husband) habit of buying more than one ebook at a time. If I’m going to go to the effort ... more >

Darkness at Dawn by Elizabeth Jennings

REVIEW: Darkness at Dawn by Elizabeth Jennings

JaclynB- ReviewsElizabeth Jennings / Military / romantic-suspense / scholar10 Comments

Dear Ms. Jennings, I’ve been reading thrillers since high school. My mom introduced me to Eric Van Lustbader’s series, The Sunset Warrior Cycle, which is more fantasy/sci fi than straight up thriller, but in a search for more Lustbader I found a whole lot of Robert Ludlum in the mass-market ... more >
