Review: River Marked by Patricia Briggs

River Marked (Mercedes Thompson, #6)

One of the reasons I have come to love urban fantasy is the strong, female protagonists. Patricia Briggs writes one of the best heroines in the urban fantasy genre today in Mercy Thompson. Mercy is not only strong and tough but she’s smart, loyal and genuinely good, making her a heroine that is so easy [...]

Review: The Werewolf Upstairs by Ashlyn Chase

The Werewolf Upstairs (Strange Neighbors, #2)

I chose to read The Werewolf Upstairs by Ashlyn Chase because I do like a lighter read now and then; something laced with humor, a few unusual characters and a fun story.

Review: Master of Smoke by Angela Knight

Master of Smoke (Mageverse, #11)

I didn’t realize going into this book that I had read two of the earlier books in the series years ago. But as I was reading I started to feel a weird sense of déjà vu. Vampire Knights of the Round Table? Direkind? Haven’t I read this before? What cinched it was when the king [...]

Review: A Werewolf in Manhattan by Vicki Lewis Thomson

A Werewolf in Manhattan

I started out really enjoying this book. It was light—both in terms of worldbuilding and tone—but sometimes I don’t want heavy or complex. Sometimes I just want to smile and giggle and enjoy a lighthearted romance. I think if I had to liken it to something I would probably pick the Argeneau series by Lynsay [...]

Review: Blood Challenge by Eileen Wilks

Blood Challenge (World of the Lupi, #7)

This series is a relatively new discovery to me. I actually only read the first book of the series, Tempting Danger, in October of 2010! But it was love at first sight for me. Right after I closed Tempting Danger I called one bookstore, visited two other used bookstores, and even hit up the library [...]
