If you haven’t read The Wolf at the Door, the first book in the Big Bad Wolf series, be warned – there are spoilers in this review. In it, the author introduced readers to a world in which werewolves exist, although humans are largely unaware of them. I was completely sucked into the suspense and…
Wolfsong was my favorite book of 2016. If you haven’t read it, you will be lost reading Ravensong (and there are spoilers in this review). And if you have read it, I highly recommend you re-read it. There is zero recap when Ravensong begins. T.J. Klune is a wonderfully talented writer. His marvelous back catalog…
Lock Nut is the fifth book in this wonderful series about plumber Tom Paretski and now fiancé, private investigator, Phil Morrison. Tom has a slightly quirky paranormal ability which enables him to find things, which often leads them into trouble. However, that is not overly utilised in this episode. What is in great supply in…
If you’re a fan of urban fantasy or paranormal romance, I imagine you’re familiar with Nalini Singh’s Psy/Changeling series. I discovered it back in 2006, and I’ve been a devoted fan ever since. Ocean Light is the seventeenth installment, and the second entry in a sort of second story arc called the Psy/Changeling Trinity series,…
The first two books in Laura Spinella’s Ghost Gifts trilogy of paranormal mysteries introduces readers to Aubrey Ellis, a woman who has been able to communicate with the dead since she was a child. These novels centre around Aubrey and her husband, a hard-nosed investigative reporter, but in Echo Moon, the final book in the…
Apparently I’m late to the party, because Midnight Wolf, the first in the Shifter’s Unbound series that I’ve read is actually number eleven chronologically (not including novellas). Oops? While it definitely seems like paranormals have faded into the general romance backdrop, there are still several series (because aren’t they always series?) that stand out, and…
Long running series eventually (inevitably?) become more about providing fans an opportunity to connect with favorite characters than they are about providing great stories. In Burn Bright, the fifth book in the Alpha and Omega series and fifteenth novel in the general Mercyverse, Briggs delivers a story about witches, traitors and alliances that is pure…
Maria Vale’s The Last Wolf is not at all what I expected. I thought I’d get a fast-paced, spicy shifter romance, much like others I’ve loved. This book, this heroine, was unexpected. In all the right ways. Shifters and werewolves are different in this world. A werewolf must turn into a wolf during the full…
Thirst came out in 2017, and it’s the first book in Jacquelyn Frank’s Energy Vampires series. One of my best friends offline is a huge fan of the author, so I thought I’d give her books a try. If you like vampire stories, this one feature more originality than the average in the worldbuilding. I’m…
Juliet Lyons’ self-published, Wattpad series has gained mainstream attention and garnered her a contract with Sourcebooks, so potential readers should be aware that Drop Dead Gorgeous, the second book in her Bite Nights series, was previously titled Romancing the Undead. Depending on one’s mood and tolerance for fluff, it will either be one long fuzzy-headed…
