This is a new author to me. Marta Acosta is interesting in that much of this book refers to the notion of reading books and book styles throughout the book. I found this interesting because I mention some of the stylings when I talk about the books I read from time to time. Along that [...]

I finished this book a bit ago and am just getting to the review. The last book I read by LKH was Mica and it was a simple book with simple energy. It was a good read that had a feel reminiscent of her early work. This book however resumes back where all the other [...]

I don’t get a lot of SciFi (real sci fi) authors to read that actually live around here. This Author actually lives pretty darn close to me. While I’m not actually likely to meet her, it’s always cool to think of great talent being nearby. This book is future based. The premise is about a [...]

This is the first in a series about the “Deathless”. The premise is that somewhere in the future, a person creates nano-tech to give immortality to humans. It is done by replacing our existing DNA with an artificial DNA/biology. This is the first in the series and is about what happens to the world after [...]

This is part of a series called Anderson PSI Division. It is based on a somewhat if not identical future that the Judge Dredd stories are based on. Basically in the future, the world has had some form of holocaust which has caused the population to gather into “mega” cities. In these mega-cities, they have [...]

This is another in the series of Dark Hunter Novel’s. The premise behind the novels is that long ago the greek god Artemis created Dark Hunters from humans who died wanting vengeance in order to battle Daemons who are a result of the race of Apollites created by Apollo but cursed because they did something [...]

I really liked this book. It’s the first book I have read by this author but it’s quite good. It’s set in a slightly alternate timeline (much like the Anita Blake novels though the timeline is not the same one, it’s similar but it’s own). There are different kinds of magic people and magic people’s [...]

This is another in the series of Dark Hunter Novels that I have been reading. The premise behind the novels is that long ago the greek god Artemis created Dark Hunters from humans who died wanting vengeance in order to battle Daemons who are a result of the race of Apollites created by Apollo but [...]

This book was an interesting one in the series by Sherrilyn Kenyon. Her series is about Dark Hunters who are created out of vengeance when they die by the Greek Goddess Artemis. They were really only created though to have a hold over another being, Acheron who out of compassion leads them in their mission [...]

This was kind of an interesting twist on the whole romance novel with creatures of the night thing going on. The premise was that the gods of myth (greek myth) did a whole bunch of things. For instance, a whole group a humans worshiped Apollo but somehow they pissed him off so he cursed them [...]

The actual title of the book is Capre Demon: Adventures of a Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom. This is the reason that I checked this book out from the library. It sounded like a very funny book. The premise is that a hunter (imagine Buffy, the vampire hunter) had gotten to her 30′s and retired, married and [...]

This was an interesting book. My only real issue is that CT and Cathy had developed a wonderful and complex universe with shape changers in it (see other reviews Moon’s Web and Hunters Moon) but they didn’t really use the elements from it. Instead they created a very different set of shape changers to go [...]

This was a very detailed and complex book. In fact, to me, the first third of the book was down right confusing. The premise of this book is that it’s a world much like ours but there lives magical and semi-magical creatures. In fact, some of them are already known to the world. The lesser [...]

Can you tell I’ve hit upon a bunch of were-creature books lately? Well, here is another one by another author. This book (part of a larger series, called the Dark-Hunter series) tries to put a little, though not too much, more pomp and such into the story. It gives a grand history about how were-creatures [...]

Well, after reading book 2 (see my review on Moon’s Web), I decided to go back and read the first book – Hunter’s Moon. Sometimes first books can be better because authors put in a whole lot of effort in detail about character development and other times first books are less because the author is [...]
