About Shuzluva

Sydney (better known by her handle, Shuzluva) knew that she wanted to be Han Solo's copilot after seeing Star Wars at the tender age of 5. She fell in love with romance novels over 20 years ago when she got her hands on Sandra Brown's Texas! trilogy, and in the mid 90's was overjoyed to discover romance writers had branched out into the world of SciFi/fantasy. While she enjoys the occasional contemporary or historical novel, the world of SciFi holds an unshakable fascination for her. Some of her favorite authors include Nalini Singh, Catherine Asaro and Kresley Cole, and she's always interested in adding new authors to the list.

Dear Ms. Ward: *There is a spoiler at the end of this review. It is hidden, so unhide at your own risk* After reading the first two chapters of The Bourbon Kings, I was going to go with relating the book to the grandmamma of all catfights, but about 60% into ... more >

REVIEW: Wars of the Heart by Inari Gray

ShuzluvaC- ReviewsFreyas-Bower / futuristic / romantic-suspense13 Comments

Dear Ms. Gray, When I read the blurb for Wars of the Heart, I was utterly confused. Let me explain; or better yet let me sum up the blurb, which goes something like this: Katherine Morgan is a diplomat from Earth, she thinks that someone is out to destroy Earth’s ... more >

REVIEW: Must Love Lycans by Michele Bardsley

ShuzluvaC ReviewsParanormal / shapeshifters / vampires6 Comments

Dear Ms. Bardsley, About 1/3 of the way through this book, I realized I’d read another in the Broken Heart series. I think it was Cross Your Heart; I remember something about a ghost and some sort of evil. That was the only book I’d ever picked up in the ... more >

There are possibly spoilers in this review. I have done my level best to avoid them. Apologies in advance. Dear Ms. Miller, I decided to pick up your book because it sounded cool and slightly different from other things in the Vampire/Shifter paranormal genre and I’m a sucker for cool ... more >

REVIEW: Storm’s Heart by Thea Harrison

ShuzluvaA- Reviewsdragons / Fae / Paranormal / Recommended Reads / shapeshifters / Thea Harrison19 Comments

Dear Ms. Harrison, As a Paranormal reader and reviewer, the concept of a series is both the blessing and bane of my existence. Ever heard of a stand-alone Paranormal? I’ve gotta look around and see if they actually occur…but back to the matter at hand. After the first book, it’s ... more >
