Everneath – Forced to finish this one
The cover suggests a slightly more mature theme, even within the YA genre. It can happen. I just finished reading a book where it happened. But 99% of the book is spent with her outside of this “Everneath”, resulting in a fairly uninteresting read. I read it quickly so I didn’t waste too much time on it, but I really don’t like it when covers are so deceptive. Nikki is…
Touch of Power – Engaging all throughout
Maria Snyder is off to an excellent start with Touch of Power, Book 1 of The Healer series. The book centers on Avry of Kazan, a young woman with special power to heal those around her while she absorbs their ailments. One would think that this would be a revered power, but instead it puts a huge target on her back. Suspected of creating the plague that wipes out a…
Updates for Your Urban Fantasy
Hi everyone! I was pretty busy over the weekend adding a few things to the site. You might want to check it out: 1) The Hollows Corner – I decided to create a whole section dedicated to The Hollows. This will be ever evolving as I blog about my reviews, upcoming signings (which will include pics and video), and maybe add a discussion page (you’ll want it after you read…
Magic Gifts – there’s Naked Curran…’nuff said
So now that I have your attention… There IS naked Curran, but there’s always more to say when it comes to a Kate Daniels story. I initially didn’t even read the synopsis because Kate gets an insta-click. The cover is really cool, making me wonder if covers for future novels are in for a style change. This story takes place after Magic Slays (Book 5) and runs simultaneously with Andrea’s…
Hellbent – A Hell of a Good Time!
Say it ain’t so!! So I find a series that I genuinely enjoy. No mopey heroine (okay, maybe she’s a little obnoxious, but at least she’s fun about it), no emo vampires, just lots of action and fun. While it wasn’t a cliffhanger, I finished this book thinking there would be more in store. Well unfortunately Cherie Priest was only contracted for two books, meaning this may be the last…
Bad Blood (House of Comarre #3) – Leaves a bad taste in your mouth
I’m getting a little worried that I’m falling out of love with this series. I think the first book was well crafted and intriguing. The second book lost a little steam for me because I did’t enjoy the introduction of a love triangle and there were too many characters to keep up with. It also had a cliffhanger which I normally hate, but I didn’t mind it because there was…
Parting is such sweet sorrow! But we have a winner…
Okay, as you can see I had a good little cry and now I’m ready to part with an old friend (at least that’s what any Hollows book feels like to me). But it’s okay! I know it’s going to a great home and it will be loved, cherished, and cared for…and hopefully read super fast so that said new owner can chat with me stat about all of the…
