Preacher, Prophet, Beast is the seventh in Harper Fox’s wonderful Tyack and Frayne series of mysteries set in Cornwall, and it may be the best – or is it? Every time I finish a book in this series I say, ‘Oh, that was the best one’. I suspect every reader will have their favourite. We…
Full disclosure, I’ve always been a bit biased towards the Beyond series since the setting is practically in my backyard. The idea that a portal to the afterlife has opened somewhere in Tempe, Arizona just starts me on all sorts jokes about Hell being a summer day here in the desert. Don’t worry though, eternal…
Guardians of the Haunted Moor is the fifth in Harper Fox’s series of Tyack and Frayne Mysteries. As always the author gives us a beautifully atmospheric work, with elements that took my breath away. In the prologue, Gideon Frayne describes his husband, Lee Tyack – His beautiful west-coast lad was all the silver part of his…
I’m a Santino Hassell fan, and though I don’t read much paranormal romance, I confidently opened Insight assuming I would love it. Yet while the book is compelling and entertaining, the balance of romance/paranormal/thriller didn’t thrill me. The first half of the book is a teasing, slow-burn road-trip romance between Nate and Trent, one of…
Earlier this year I had the pleasure of reviewing The Hating Game by Sally Thorne. I loved it and recommended it to everyone I know. Since then, I was certain – convinced really – that no other book could or would top my best of list for 2016 (though Cat Sebastian’s The Soldier’s Scoundrel came…
Thea Harrison spins her Elder Races series off into a new direction with the release of Moonshadow, book one in a self-titled series. Expanding on the world building of the previous series and using European myths and legends as inspiration, Moonshadow finds renewed energy in an action packed story that I couldn’t put down. Readers…
I loved this cover so much that I requested the book knowing nothing about either author or the series. The book, unfortunately, does not live up to the cover. The two Stavros brothers, Rafe and Gabriel (if I never see heroes with those names again, it will be too soon) run a mega-successful Las Vegas…
As a reader and a reviewer I try not to be too set in my ways, so every once in awhile I take a chance on an author I don’t recognize. Sometimes that leads me to a D or F review, but with Wolf Unleashed it most certainly paid off. While it may not have…
How do I describe this book? It’s like having Oreos with orange juice – delicious when consumed separately, but together they just make for a sour mess. Hell on Wheels combined two things I enjoy (paranormal romances and roller derby) but by throwing them in the middle of a confusing, war torn dimension, the author…
It’s hard to imagine that Angel’s Blood, the first of Nalini SIngh’s Guild Hunter books, was originally just a stand-alone, (according to an FAQ I read). There’s such a wealth of world building that one could believe that the author had conceived of vampire kisses (not what you think), Contracts, angelic scents, and a stupid Grimoire before the…
