I am first and foremost an Urban Fantasy fan, so while I read PNR series on occasion they don’t really grip me. Heck, I’m only through book 2 of the Black Dagger Brotherhood Series myself after starting that series months ago, though I do plan to read them all eventually. That said, D.B. Reynolds has done a great job at keeping me engaged all throughout. I have read these books…
Darkness Rising (Dark Angel #2) – Now we’re talkin’!
I read the first novel of Keri Arthur’s series, Darkness Unbound, finding that the pieces of a good Urban Fantasy series were there, but it didn’t really come together to carve out its own unique spot in this genre. Well, Darkness Rising is definitely putting this series on the right track to do that and I’m glad that it didn’t take very long. Many books suffer from FBS (first book…
Mercy Thompson Graphic Novel: Moon Called Vol. 2 – Eye candy extraordinaire
It took me a little while to get around to reading the second and final volume for the Moon Called graphic novel. What with no bookstores nearby, I wasn’t totally sure if I wanted to pay for a comic that I couldn’t see. The first volume was beautifully illustrated, but I wasn’t sure how much I would enjoy the story. For me the Mercy Thompson series definitely suffers from FBS…
The Hollows makes me bipolar, and tsk tsk Linda Larsson!!
So while I’d been whining a little bit a few days ago about The Hollows getting a 13th book, my biggest harp was that I thought it’d mean we had to wait yet another year for Rachel’s HEA. But if we still get it in 12 and 13 is a bonus, then I’ll take it! Though Kim could change her mind, if she sticks to this then I’m totally on…

Guest Blogger – Author Caroline Hanson: Best vampires EVER…I think. Or probably. Certainly for the moment.
Today’s post is about my three favorite vampires. But it’s hard to narrow it down to just three. Even VampireNovelFan’s guest post on my blog could only highlight her favorite vampires in newer series. Depending on the criteria, my choices might change. For example, if the category was best pedophelic vampire, obviously I would choose Edward. If it was hottest gay vampire it would probably be a toss up between…
Darkness Unbound (Dark Angels #1) – FBS (First Book Syndrome) strikes again!
I will start off by saying that I have not read Keri Arthur’s original Riley Jenson series. I honestly went into this thinking it was the beginning of a new series, not a spin-off of 9 prior novels. Maybe that’s why it was hard to really get into this book and into this world, but I did try. The leading lady of the Dark Angels series is Risa Jones, a…
And while I was there on Kim’s Facebook page I found this…
So it looks like there will be 13 Hollows books after all. *SIGH*!! I may be in the minority but I was really hoping she’d cut it off at 12 since we HAVE to wait until the last book for her HEA. I’m a little bummed, I gotta say. And now with her being more tight lipped about everything from here on out, it’s going to be nearly impossible to…
Staples Speed Test – How fast do you read?
I caught this on Kim Harrison’s Facebook today. Source: Staples eReader Department It said that I read 41% faster than the average person. And that wasn’t even with text to speech! GO ME!! How about you guys?
More Moning on the Way! We’ve got a cover for Iced from Fever World!
Fellow Fever Fanatics, there’s more to this world yet! If you didn’t know, the series got an extension for 5 more books. 3 are going to be spin-offs, and then the subsequent two take us back to Mac and Barrons. The cover is beautiful! I’m assuming the lovely lady in the middle is Dani all grown up! The compete title is “Iced: A Dani O’Malley Novel (Fever World #1)” Synopsis:…
