This being the ninth book in this series… there’s not a lot I can say that won’t be a spoiler… so this is your fair warning: Read further at your own peril. (If you’re like me, and read the end first anyway, I know you will ignore this anyway.) 🙂 Before I go too much … Review: Kitty’s Big Trouble
Can I say “holy carp…”? After having placed the order for this book back in February, I was more than happy to see it arrive in this afternoon’s mail. And, honestly, it’s not uncommon for a book you’ve been waiting for that way to disappoint. But somehow, the writing team of Ilona Andrews is improving … Review: Magic Slays
I’ve always considered reading a solitary pursuit, and have been happy to hole up in a convenient corner to while away the hours. But in the past year or so, I’ve found a wonderful group of fellow bibliophiles on … Twitter! So when @bookaliciouspam tweeted (or blogged… or something) recently about reading challenges she’s participating … Book Challenge – 100 Books in a Year
Because Zoe Winters was generous enough to allow G L Drummond to guest post on her site during her blog tour last month, I got curious about what she wrote, and read a number of her blog entries. Sufficiently piqued, I was thus drawn into her series “Preturnaturals”–this first installment of which was actually the … Review: Blood Lust
I discovered Ilona Andrews about a year ago based on an online bookstore “you might also like” reference. I quickly chowed through their Kate Daniels series and am anxiously awaiting the release of “Magic Slays” any day now (it’s been on my wish list at Amazon since last December and I really can’t wait to … Review: Bayou Moon
Through a series of blog posts yesterday (the first by Kait Nolan about character arc development issues, and the second by Susan Bischoff on Young Adult romantic fantasy that is non-Twilight-like) I fell into a new author: Melissa Marr. I’ve been reading more and more books as eBooks on my iPhone, and have to say… … Wicked Lovely – review
I’ve been waiting more than half my life for this series to finally be completed… and was thrilled earlier this year to discover a publication date for what is billed as the final in the series. When I picked it up, though, I discovered that for all the time in development, this was the weakest … Review: The Land of Painted Caves
I know I’ve already posted a review for the latest in the series (see River Marked), but with the release of that latest installment – and with the need for a temporary retreat from some of life’s inevitable disappointments – I was recently inspired to reread the whole series again. I do that pretty regularly … Mercy Thompson series – review
I’ve been anxiously awaiting this latest installment in Patricia Briggs’ Mercy Thompson series for several months, so actually surprised myself by waiting for a few hours after its delivery before actually delving into my new treat. (And I give you fair warning: I’m a FULL-ON Mercy Thompson fan; I have all the books, including the … River Marked
I read this Sunday as part of my ongoing search for new authors; I’d found it staring out of the shelves of a local Borders, and since I’m a sucker for any story revolving around a psychic link/bond between a human and an animal, I had high expectations. I’m not sure if it was because … Path of Fate
