Wow, what one novel can do? I really didn’t like the last Anita Blake novel. This book is another in the ever on going story of Anita Black, Vampire Hunter, Necromancer, raiser of dead, Federal Marshall, lover of many men and monsters and all around hero. This one was pretty simple yet enjoyable to me. [...]

I didn’t realize this was a second in a series but I was fortunate that it was written well enough that I was not buried in too much history to make the book unreadable. The book is about Sazi, were-creatures. It centers around Tony Giodone who was an assassin. Apparently when a Sazi scratches or [...]

This is a new author for me, I think – though obviously an old topic. Michelle takes a more serious approach to the romance novel though not too serious. It’s humorous but not laugh out loud or even giggle to yourself kind of humorous. The romance was a little thin in the story too though [...]

This is book four in the Wizard Warden series by Rachel Caine. I think I may have missed one (book 3, I’m thinking) but I’ve read most of them. The concept behind the book is that some special people are born with the ability to manipulate different aspects of nature (fire, earth, weather). There is [...]

Well, I was a little mislead by the cover since there was a quote from MaryJanice Davidson (a pretty funny romantic author) which said “Fangs for the Memories will make you laugh until milk comes out of your nose. No, really.” That was the only truly funny thing about the book. Ok, with that said, [...]

I just finished this book. I think there is another book about Jennifer Scales but I couldn’t find it at my library. This book is about Jennifer Scales who turns out has unusual heritage and unusual friends. Jennifer’s parents are unique and her father turns out to be a were-dragon so she turns into a [...]

This is another in the series from MaryJanice Davidson regarding the Vampire Queen Betsy. The previous story had left off where she learned that she had a sister in college who was cute as a button and was the daughter of her father and her step-mother. But of course, it can’t be that simple because [...]

I’m not sure I have read anything by John Dalmas before but I have read a book by this name before and it was roughly about the same topic. This book is just what the title suggests though with a big twist. The second coming is not about any Christian belief system. In fact, as [...]

This is part of a series of books MaryJanice regarding vampires. They are romance oriented but with a lot of humor mixed it. Overall, very simple and enjoyable reads. The lead character is Betsy who turns out died on her 30th birthday but became a vampire. Though she became a special vampire: one who can [...]

I’ve read a few stories by MaryJanice Davidson which were romance stories with lots of humor about vampires (in fact, I have one waiting to be read that I just got from the library). She is one of the funnier romance writers that I’ve found. This story was quite an interesting twist. This was a [...]

This is Book Four in the Dresden Wizard series by Jim Butcher. Jim has concocted an addendum Universe to our own in which magic exists along with magical creatures. Normal humans don?t see them because they don?t want to and because normal humans have gone down a technological path and it?s hard to allow magic [...]

MaryJanice has another set of books that I’ve read a few of regarding vampires that have an excellent mix of humor including wit, sarcasm and just downright funny moments along with nice moments of romance. This story is about Derik who turns out to be a werewolf. In MJ’s version of werewolves they only change [...]

I’m going to try and be a little more detailed about my book reviews going forward so here goes. A Quick Bite is part of an ongoing series by Lynsay Sands regarding a family of vampires. Well, first these vampires are what have caused the vampire myths through history but the fearful parts of the [...]
