REVIEW: Voices of the Night by Lydia Joyce

JanineA Review Category / A- Reviews / Book Reviews19th century / class-difference / crime / Historical Romances / London / Lydia-Joyce / Masquerade18 Comments

Dear Ms. Joyce, I've been reading your books since The Veil of Night came out. I thought it was a bit above average for a debut, but conventional. The two books that followed were somewhat stronger in my opinion. All three showed a talent for conjuring an atmosphere, and main ... more >

REVIEW: Bold Destiny by Jane Feather

JayneA Review Category / A- Reviews / Book ReviewsWar / Military18 Comments

Dear Mrs. Feather, When I open one of your older books, I know I’m probably going to be treated to something different. Something I probably won’t get from a more recently written novel. “Bold Destiny” doesn’t disappoint. Kabul, Afghanistan in 1841/42 is definitely not where a British person wanted to ... more >

REVIEW: Innocent in Death by J.D. Robb

JaneA Review Category / A- Reviews / Book Reviewsfuturistic / J.D. Robb / law-enforcement15 Comments

Dear Ms. Robb: I left off the last book feeling vaguely unhappy with how little Eve seems to give in the relationship with Roarke. This book is my comeuppance. Every book in the In Death series has had a good mystery and police procedure is one of my favorite genres. ... more >

REVIEW: Bloodsucking Fiends: A Love Story by Christopher Moore

JayneA Review Category / A- Reviews / Book ReviewsComedy / Paranormal / San-Francisco / vampires10 Comments

Dear Mr. Moore, God I love this book. I think this is about the third or fourth time I’ve read it and it just gets better each time. OK, I could spend an hour coming up with a plot description but since some kind soul has already done so for ... more >

REVIEW: Blood Bound by Patricia Briggs

JaneA Review Category / A- Reviews / Book ReviewsAmazon / Mercy-Thompson / Patricia-Briggs / shapeshifters20 Comments

Dear Ms. Briggs: As I was reading this book last night, I turned to Ned with an epiphany. “Ned,” I said, “When an author of a fantasy book can make you believe her truths, that’s a great book.” He replied, “that’s why I read fantasy.” Indeed. You have the unique ... more >
