Synposis: To Adelaide Graves, being empathic isn’t a gift, it’s a curse. To her nothing could be worse than the barrage of emotions that are constantly seeping in, that is, until she started seeing ghosts. Such gifts don’t go unnoticed by Reed Wallace, the island’s richest celebrity, who is quick to use his own gift to strong-arm Adelaide. Luckily, she’s half-immune to his unnatural charm, though not to his blackmail….

It’s funny. I recently wrote a review about a series that didn’t mind changing the time period from novel to novel. While that book went from past to present, this book goes from present to past. On their ever-enduring quest to locate and unlock the secrets of Ashmole 782, Matthew and Diana are forced to travel back in time with hopes that the book will become more accessible. Picking up…
No Kate Daniels review of mine is complete without a quote, so let’s kick it off with my favorite: “We’re engaged to be engaged,” Rebecca said. “We’re waiting until the end of the physical year to officially announce.” “You mean fiscal year?” Dear God, she was a moron. “Yes, that’s what I meant.” The Andrews clan has yet to let me down. I really enjoyed Andrea’s short story, Magic Mourns,…
Though I’m not quite finished reading it yet, I felt like that shouldn’t delay me from sharing the wealth with you guys! It’s a bloody fantastic book and I’m super excited to be giving this away. Many of you know the drill, but in case you don’t: I am collecting entries through Saturday, August 18th. I will announce the winners the next day. How to Enter (PLEASE READ CAREFULLY): My…
Debut author, Deborah Harkness, throws her name into the Urban Fantasy hat with A Discovery of Witches, book 1 of the All Souls Trilogy. We meet scholar Diana Bishop, a witch who has spent her entire life denying her powers, who in the course of her research accidentally finds a bewitched alchemical manuscript which may hold the deepest secrets of supernaturals. This sends a beacon to practically every species from…
One benefit for most vampires is that they usually live pretty darn long. Amanda Greene’s Caressed by Moonlight, Book 1 of the Rulers of Darkness series, was a delightful period novel focusing on vampire Dorian Vlakhos and his human love, Victoria Kingston. Fast-forward a good couple of centuries and though those two are alive and well, Dmitri Arsov and Kerstyn Ingmar are the central characters in this novel. Dmitri, a…
Book 12 in Kelley Armstrong’s successful series is shaping the plot for a big finale. Like book 11, Waking the Witch, the focus is still on Savannah Levine, a witch (not surprisingly) with unique powers. Her powers led to catastrophic events in the prior novel; they were so terrible that she decided to give up her powers for good. Unfortunately she did it at the wrong time. The enemies are…
Young Adult paranormal fans, specifically those who love ghosts, may want to consider checking out K.D. McEntire’s debut effort, Lightbringer. Wendy is a not-so-everyday teen with a peculiar six sense; she can see ghosts–ghosts of the Never to be exact–which consist of children who’ve died too young. Not only can she see them, but they know she can and so they seek her out routinely for help. Only she can…
Everything good must come to an end. We didn’t go for costumes on Sunday; it was just too exhausting. We like to use this time to thoroughly explore the exhibit hall, and that we did. Of course it was my priority to get Gail Carriger’s autograph and this time it worked out! So here I am with an extra signed copy of Soulless and it’s got nowhere to go…or does…
