I have a soft spot for futuristic books so I was very much hoping that I would feel the love again for Jayne Ann Krentz’s books with her fantasy release Canyons of Night written under her Jayne Castle pseudonym. While not a bad book, the series has not moved forward with any new innovative plot…
I am loving the new trend towards post-apocalyptic romance.It’s good to know that even if the world goes to the dogs – or chimps, apes, or killer whales – there will still be love, community, and humanity. That’s probably too rosy a future for some sci-fi fans, but for those of us that are romance…
Can you imagine a post-apocalyptic world? One in which cataclysmic events triggered such changes in the earth’s topography that entire continents shifted and the infrastructure of America crumbled? As difficult as it may be to fathom, Joss Ware brings this world vividly to life in her Envy Chronicles. Night Betrayed is the fourth book in…
In some ways, this review is superfluous. I’m not denigrating the importance of a reviewer, but, well, things are different with J. D. Robb. If you read her, you’ll probably read this one. And if you don’t, you sure as heck ain’t gonna start with the 32nd hardcover episode of the adventures of Eve Dallas…
Eve Dallas has never been so terrified in her life. This is a horror beyond all horrors. A gruesome murder? No. Assault with a deadly? All in a day’s work. Serial killer? She’s met more than her share and beaten them all. This moment of terror comes to her courtesy of Ireland’s winding roads, with…
It’s never a good sign when a review book takes me a month to read. If only Susan Kearney’s Jordan had taken just a month! I’ve been reading it off and on for the past three months, barely able to tolerate more than ten pages at a time. It’s not that the book was horrible,…
Fantasy in Death is the thirtieth book in J.D. Robb’s In Death series. That feels like a pretty big achievement, not only for Robb, but for those of us who’ve read them all. (If that includes you, go pat yourself on the back). If you have read them all, you know that there are the…
This is a book I would describe as way too busy. Though it’s action packed, there’s just too much to deal with in one story – from dragons, other worlds, kidnapping, scattered references to the legend of Camelot, to constantly running from things out to get them, I was tired when I finished reading. Talk…
Both Eve and Roarke have seen and experienced much in the course of their lives, but the crime that opens Kindred in Death shakes them both. It’s Peace Day in New York – a holiday that commemorates the end of the Urban Wars, and Eve has two whole days off. She and Roarke are just…
Right. *Takes deep breath* Lucan is from Earth in the future, when everyone is sterile, and he discovers that the only hope for mankind is to find the Holy Grail which can cure anything and is kept on the moon Avalon. So Lucan travels bajillions of light-years only to find that the Grail is hidden…
