A Bite’s Tale (A Furry Fable) is aptly named. This delightful novella provides a supernatural take on the age old Cinderella story. Cydney, the “Cinderella”, is a werewolf while the prince is a vampire. We meet the characters while they are in their early teens. Neither one is willing to admit who they really are, but they secretly meet each other every summer until one year when Cydney’s wolf loses…
Sacrificial Magic (Downside Ghosts #4) – This series has some life to it yet!
The saga continues. Though the third book felt like it could have been a fitting end to the series, Stacia Kane got an extension and rolled with it. Chess and Terrible are back and things aren’t as happily ever after as one would hope. I mean, really, how much of that can you really expect in this series? Chess is ordered to help out Bump, her dealer and drug lord…

I saw The Hunger Games Movie last night
Nothing beats being able to see a major franchise film during its opening weekend for FREE! W00T for movie passes! I was honestly surprised that they accepted it. Normally for new releases theatres won’t allow you to redeem the passes. The film itself was pretty good, I gotta say! I honestly felt like they stayed true to the book aside from a couple of major plot points****SPOILER****primarily that the dead…
Is the Washington, DC area coming up in this genre?
Okay, so I’m currently reading through a bunch of books that have coincidentally been set in the Washington, DC Metro area (my hometown if you didn’t know)! I totally had no idea of this going in, aside from one book. It makes me curious about this area’s growing popularity. I’ve read countless stories set in New York and LA, but not really here. It…
Origins: A Demonkin Novel – All the makings of a fabulous series!
I wasn’t really sure what to expect with Sean Hayden’s novel, but Origins (Demonkin #1) ended up being the perfect read for me over the weekend. The main character is Ashlyn Thorn. Right off the bat we learn that this is a world filled with vampires, elves, and werewolves, but she’s a special case. She’s a predator of the predators, finding sustenance on in supernatural blood. This gave me a…
More Hollows Fun! A Kim Harrison podcast interview
Check out Kim’s interview with the Agony Column where she shares a ton of insight about the series overall, it’s development, the future, and more. http://bookotron.com/agony/news/2012/03-19-12-podcast.htm#podcast031912 If you don’t want to listen to the entire thing (I myself was multitasking in the process so it wasn’t a big deal), I took a few notes and noted the approximate time if you want to skim to that point yourself. Sorry if…
By a Thread (Elemental Assassin #6) – Ain’t no rest for the wicked
It seems as if Gin Blanco can’t catch a break no matter how hard she tries. As Jennifer Estep’s prior novel, Spider’s Revenge, and short story, Thread of Death, wrapped up the first major arc of this series, this book was more of a cool down with Gin taking a vacation with her sister, Bria, in an attempt to bond and heal after all they’ve been through. The location of…
Thread of Death – Short and sweet Elemental Assassin Story
This short story takes us through the aftermath and arc conclusion of Jennifer Estep’s 5th book, Spider’s Revenge. On the outside, Gin looks as healthy as ever, but she’s still healing internally from her huge showdown with Mab. Gin wants to drop by the old girl’s funeral to say her goodbyes (as weird as that may seem), but with her secret out she’s got an even bigger target on her…
