REVIEW: Wickedly Wonderful by Deborah Blake

JaneB ReviewsMagic / mermaid / paranormal romance / Shifters7 Comments

Dear Deborah Blake, Following up your shining, captivating fiction debut, you return us to your world of updated Baba Yagas in Wickedly Wonderful. Instead of the old, child-eating crones of Russian fairy tales, you have reimagined the Baba Yaga as the job title of witches charged with the responsibility to ... more >

REVIEW: Siren by Tricia Rayburn

JohnB- Reviewsmermaid / Paranormal / Young-Adult4 Comments

REVIEW: A Witch’s Beauty by Joey W. Hill

JiaB Reviews / B Reviews Category / Book Reviewsangels / Beauty-and-the-Beast / Joey-Hill / mermaid21 Comments

Dear Ms. Hill, I’ve been known to have an aversion to mermaid sex.   But since I’m fond of your vampire novels, I decided to give your mermaid series a try.   Jane reviewed the first book, A Mermaid’s Kiss, when it came out and overall, I agree with her assessment.   In ... more >
