Spring is the best time for romances. With the days growing longer and the weather fluctuating between downpours and mild days, you can’t go wrong with a steamy love story. For me, paranormal romances are a guilty pleasure, but just because I enjoy crème brulee doesn’t mean I’d pass up a handful of Skittles. Lynsay…
I’m definitely a little late to the party when it comes to Lucy Blue’s medieval vampire series. Starting with the third book was not the wisest decision, but once I got my bearings, I became completely engrossed – which shows Ms. Blue’s talent. Too bad she lost her contract with Pocket. * Roxanna is a…
When I pick up a Black Dagger Brotherhood book, I know that within minutes I will be completely immersed in a gripping tale that leaves me not caring a bit if I’m reading about a male-dominated world where tormented vampire warriors have ridiculous names, use extreme slang, and that their leather-clad bodies are tattooed and…
I have to admit I’m a sucker for paranormal romances and, if you throw in a little SF, you pretty much have me hooked. Set in a post-apocalyptic world infested with cannibals, vampires, and those out for a fast buck, Inferno is softened by very real and human characters. Although the main protagonist, Katarina (a.k.a….
Unlike many of the vampire romances filling the shelves, the author of Watchers in the Night does not glamorize her undead characters. In Ms. Black’s world, vampires who feed off humans become addicted to the killing, and become menacing Killers. Other vampires who manage to subsist without killing humans are known as Guardians and they…
Many years ago Maggie Shayne first introduced this couple in one of her Wings in the Night Silhouette Shadows series books. They were a secondary couple if I recall correctly, and I wondered if I would ever see them again. Better late than never, I always say. A quick recap from previously in the series:…
Having read a lot of vampire romps and paranormal romances in general, I guess I started Dead End Dating with certain expectations. The title and the cover have a certain MaryJanice Davidson or Charlaine Harris feel, so I settled back for a tale of love and lust with a little comedy thrown in for good…
I love vampires. I will jump at any chance to read a good vampire-centric story or watch a vampire movie. From Bram Stoker to Dracula 2000; From Christine Feehan to MaryJanice Davidson. I’ll read anything about our favorite bloodsucking friends. So I jumped at Just One Sip, three humorous takes on the fanged ones, as…
In a blog entry made by Teresa Medeiros a short while back, she mentioned how upset she was at finishing The Vampire Who Loved Me. She cried on her bed because she missed Portia and Julian. After a few days of recollection, I have to agree. I miss them, too. This sequel to After Midnight…
This latest entry in Susan Sizemore’s seemingly endless series of vampire romances has about as much bite as a bowl of Count Chocula. I had hopes for this one, quite frankly, because the first few chapters featuring a wedding reception quickie between cop Phillipa Elliot and vampire Matt Bridger got the book off to a…
