Dear Katherine Addison, Your steampunk fantasy novel, The Goblin Emperor, was my second favorite book of 2014 (my favorite being Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel). The Goblin Emperor held a tinge of melancholy, but also of hopefulness, and the balance of the two made the reading experience an ... more >

JanineB+ Reviews / B- Reviews / Book Reviewschangeling / joint review / kidnapping / Paranormal / paranormal romance / PNR / POC author / psy / Psy-Changeling Trinity Series / psychic powers / Shapeshifter / traumatic-past / wolf57 Comments

Wolf Rain can be viewed as either the eighteenth book in Nalini Singh’s the Psy/Changeling series, or the third book in the Psy/Changeling Trinity series.

REVIEW: Becoming Alpha by Aileen Erin

JaneC+ ReviewsNA / Shapeshifter / YA3 Comments

Dear Ms. Erin: Angela James recommended I read this series. I think it is self published although I’m not entirely sure. This book is an introduction to 17-year-old Tessa and the exploration of her powers and how she fits into the larger world. There are many elements, tropes, devices that are found ... more >
