REVIEW: Witch Craft by Caitlin Kittredge

JiaBook Reviews / C Reviews / C Reviews CategoryCaitlin Kittredge / demons / female detectives / selkies / shapeshifters / Urban-Fantasy / witchcraft / Witches2 Comments

Dear Ms. Kittredge, I have a very hard time explaining why I keep reading this series.   As I’ve mentioned in the past, the main character, Luna Wilder, can be really off-putting at times.   On the other hand, it’s very nice to see her maturing and evolving over the course of ... more >

REVIEW: Spider Touched by Jory Strong

JaneB Reviews Category / B- Reviewsdemons / Jory Strong / Paranormal / Romance / shapeshifters / Urban-Fantasy / Witches5 Comments

Dear Ms. Strong: I like this book and I think it has great worldbuilding, but my big takeaway was “if I never read cuntlips again, I’ll die a happy reader.” On to the story. Spider Touched is the second in the urban fantasy series started with Ghostland. I think that ... more >

JiaB Reviews / B Reviews Category / Book ReviewsFantasy Romance / Magic / Older-Woman-/-Younger-Man / traumatic-past / Witches31 Comments

Dear Ms. Bishop, While your other novels have been hit or miss (mostly miss) for me, I’m a longtime fan of your Black Jewel books. I discovered them at a time when I was about to give up on the fantasy genre and because they rekindled my love for a ... more >

REVIEW: Second Skin by Caitlin Kittredge

JiaB Reviews Category / B- Reviews / Book ReviewsCaitlin Kittredge / female detectives / shapeshifters / Urban-Fantasy / Witches1 Comments

Dear Ms. Kittredge, I have an uneasy relationship with the heroine of your Nocturne City novels, Luna Wilder. What this means is that I sometimes think she makes stupid decisions, which I don’t care for since I prefer a certain level of intelligence and competence in my urban fantasy leads ... more >
