Review: The Better Part of Darkness by Kelly Gay

Posted by Donna On 11/19/2009

When the opportunity to read The Better Part of Darkness by Kelly Gay presented itself, I eagerly snagged it. I've wanted to read this book ever since I’d seen the art work for the cover several months back. After I read the synopsis, I was even more intrigued that the heroine was a divorced mother. You don’t see that scenario often in Urban Fantasy. I was not disappointed by my anticipation.

Review: Possessions by Nancy Holder

Posted by Donna On 11/13/2009

I had a fun time reading Possessions. I know your thinking "Fun?" What was fun for me was the creepy factor in the setting of the book. I loved how the eerie atmosphere was set. While reading you could feel how creepy it was staying at a school, surrounded by old and decrypted buildings, out in the middle of nowhere, in the woods with a seemingly eternal fog. It made you feel total isolation from the rest of the world.

Review: Queen of Song and Souls by C.L. Wilson

Posted by Donna On 10/27/2009

Queen of Song and Souls is the exciting fourth book in the Tairen Souls series by C.L. Wilson. In my opinion, due to complex world created by C.L. Wilson, this series needs to be read in order starting with Lord of the Fading Lands, thus experiencing this series to it's fullest.

Bound_to_Shadows Hi everyone! Thanks to Meryl L. Moss Media Relations & Book Trib, I have a copy of Bound to Shadows by Keri Arthur to giveaway to one lucky winner. Bound by Shadows, the eighth book in the Riley Jenson Guardian series, releases this coming Tuesday, October 27, 2009.

I’ve been collecting the Riley Jenson Guardian series, I have the first six books so far, which I hope to start reading soon. These books look like they are right down my urban fantasy alley.

Reviews on Bound to Shadows:

"Another classic installment to this phenomenal, cutting-edge paranormal romance series."
- Reviewed by Mandy Burns of Fresh Fiction

"The two halves of Riley Jenson’s soul are heading for a smackdown. Riley’s journey has never been easy, but this book ratchets things up to a whole new level. This series just keeps getting better and better. Kudos to Arthur!"
- Reviewed by Jill Smith of RT Book Reviews
4-1-2stars

Book Blurb from Keri Arthur’s web site:

In the darkness, demons come out to play . . .
and someone must bring their sins to light.

Part vampire, part werewolf, Riley Jenson knows what can happen when vamps don’t play well with others. But she’s never seen anything like this: a series of brutal murders surrounding the latest hot spot for vampire-human hookups—and the victims aren’t just killed, they’re beheaded. Now Riley is launching into action, toying with a seductive—and highly suspicious—club owner, and finding herself in the middle of another mystery: women being killed one by one, without a trace of violence.

For Riley, solving multiple cases—in a world going mad with human and vampire passions—would have been tough enough. Instead she has two jealous lovers on her hands: Kye Murphy, the amber-eyed werewolf who makes Riley’s wolf blood howl—and Quinn, the cool, elegant vamp who has over a thousand years’ experience at fulfilling women’s desires. While she’s busy juggling these two sexy beasts, Riley’s detective work takes a stunningly violent turn. Finding a murderer is now a matter of life and death. Especially since the killer has long since found her . . .

    Being a vampire would be very sexy..but the idea of my skin to be always cold and hiding from sunlight, if the myths are true, will be such a big NO-NO.

    On the other hand, if I am a werewolf, the idea of my clothes torn when I am turning into a wolf will be very horrible !!
    So, a mix of both should be excellent.. :)
