I don’t think I’ve read a fantasy novel in quite a long time. By Fantasy, I mean something that takes place in some imaginary time and place where some fantastical elements exist that can range from mystical creatures to magic to … use your imagination.
This book is actually the 2nd book in a series [...]

Ok, I’ve spent the last 12 waking hours or so reading the last of the series.
I enjoyed the book. JKR has a certain style in the book that is both good and bad. Obviously, the bulk of it is good otherwise those of us who are fans wouldn’t have become fans and kept [...]

Kelley Armstrong has written a lot of books with the tag line “Meet the Women of the Otherworld” which are about various women of supernatural ability.
Bitten is about Elena Michaels, a strong, sexy woman who also happens to be a werewolf. She has decided to isolate herself from her pack though because she doesn’t [...]

This was an interesting and different kind of story.
The concept of the story is that we are in some sort of similar Earth but where Magic comes and goes in waves. When Magic comes, technology doesn’t work so good if at all. There are magic players who participate in the [...]

I haven’t stopped reading books. In fact, I have read quite a few. I just haven’t been inspired to write any reviews lately. Mostly the books that I have had were entertaining but just there to fill time (the copious amounts of spare time that I have) but they did draw me [...]

This is the second book about “a tale of vegas vampires”.? The last one centered on Ethan, the President of the Vampire Nation, who is running for re-election and Alexis the sister of a half vampire.
This time it centers on Seamus Fox, Ethan’s campaign manager and Cara Kim, a vegas stripper.? They get [...]

This book is by someone I haven’t read before, I think.
The premise of the story is that Cassie is a clairvoyant and can talk to ghosts, 2 unique gifts.? She is also considered the pawn of an evil vampire gangster named Tony who decides at the beginning of the story that it’s time to [...]

I have read several of Steven Brust’s stories about Vlad Taltos.? They are all great stories so I had some preconceptions going in.
The premise of this is that there is a world where there are “humans” and “easterners”.? The “humans” are broken into different groups all based on various dragons.? These are [...]

This was kind of an interesting twist on the many romantic vampire books that I’ve read and reviewed.
The story centers on Ethan, a vampire, who is also the current President of the Vampire Nation and running for re-election.? His campaign manager has urged him to find a woman to marry in order to give [...]

I had heard an interview a while ago by Alfie Kohn and was intrigued by what he had to say so I decided to check out his book.? It took a while for our local library to have it for me (it is popular apparently!).
The book is about how our country has an educational [...]

This book was complex and fun at the same time which seems a bit contradictory, especially for me.
The premise of the book is that Ned, an accountant works as an accountant and does a pretty good job of it (especially since his boss eats anyone who doesn’t balance their books).? Ned also has this [...]

This is an interesting book that is a bit along the lines of Dan Brown’s religious mystery though this book takes itself much less seriously.
Don’t misunderstand me, there is a huge multigenerational conspiracy going on that is being unraveled by the hero Finn Ryan and her partner Virgil Hilts but while they are going around [...]

This is a book that is part of an ongoing series that Linsay Sands has written. I have reviewed some of the earier books.
The premise is that there are some folks in the world who are “infected” with nano’s that were created by the mythic civilization of Atlantis in order to improve health, life [...]
