Laurell K. Hamilton: not for the weak of heart

Yes, I am back to doing book reviews. As for Laurell K. Hamilton…I am on the 18th, and last book of the Anita Blake series: Skin Trade. Let me just tell you that these books have held more gruesomely eviscerated bodies than probably all the rest of the books I’ve read in my life combined. [...]

The Third Circle By Amanda Quick: WHAT?! No Vampires?!

I must commemorate this book as my first to review that isn’t Fantasy. It’s…Historical Romance!! (Though it does have paranormal aspects, like hypnotists and magic crystal workers, but all I have in my defense is that it has nothing STRICTLY inhuman.) The Third Circle by Amanda Quick stars Leona, a crystal worker who meets a [...]

Undead and Unwed: Why do I review more Fluff than Anything Else these Days?

Well, here it comes, another fluff review. Maybe I should change my domain name to “fluffybeachreads.com”. Yeesh. It’s not like I don’t read anything but fluff, it’s just that EVERYONE knows what Pride and Prejudice is about. Or at least, I desperately hope you do. So here goes. Undead and Unwed by Mary Janice Davidson [...]

All I want for Christmas is a Vampire: the Review

Yes, the title is kind of pathetic. Well, more than kind of. But here’s a warning: this is not the first book in the series. Embarassingly, I read this one first, not knowing my mistake. Anyway. All I want for Christmas is a Vampire by Kerrilyn Sparks is a paranormal Romance about a woman named [...]

For all UN-Twilighters and Pro-Twilighters alike

This is a lovely link sent to me by my brilliant mother. It kills two birds with one stone: teaches people to correct other people AND effectively disses Twilight. Basic Instructions: How to Set someone Straight And to kill two birds with one stone for the other side: You like Twilight. You like Barbies. Here’s [...]

Five of the Many, Many books that I am forcing Anne to Read for her Own Good

First, to those who don’t know anything about Anne, she’s my dad’s girlfriend and is far too nice. Second, she is, like a depressing amount of people, brutally Vampire Illiterate. Vampire Illiteracy is a growing plight on culture, born of the idea that, If you’ve read Twilight and Dracula, you’ve read it all. Even I, [...]

Kiss of Fire: the review

I know its been a while since my last book review, but trust me, it’s not for lack of reading. Kiss Of Fire by Deborah Cooke is the first of her Drogonfire series. It’s a “paranormal romance” supposedly, but really, it’s a book about dragon shape-shifters. It begins with independant bookstore owner Sara almost immediatly [...]

Wake: Lisa Mcmann had Better Write the third in this series, or I will be one annoyed blogger

I love this book. It doesn’t even have Vampires, but I still love it. Truly exceptional, with amazing plot twists, vivid characters, a unique plot. I can but hope that one day I can write as well as Lisa Mcmann, the author. But I’m seriously ticked off at her for not writing the sequel to [...]
