REVIEW: Queen of Shadows by Dianne Sylvan

JaneB ReviewsDianne Sylvan / Paranormal / Rape / Urban-Fantasy / vampires27 Comments

Dear Ms. Slyvan: I would have never read this book if Angela James hadn’t recommended it to me.   It is published by ACE and while I love some ACE authors like Patricia Briggs and Ilona Andrews, I associate the line with more straight up urban fantasy, fantasy and science fiction ... more >

REVIEW: Bachelor Cop by Carolyn McSparren

JaneB- Reviewslaw-enforcement / Rape / revenge-plot8 Comments

REVIEW: Ink Exchange by Melissa Marr

JaneB Reviews Category / B- Reviews / Book ReviewsDrugs / Faeries / Rape13 Comments
