Book Review: Wolf Rebel by Paige Tyler

Trigger warning: Clowns. I know this is a major trigger for some folks and something you should be aware of right up front, because the clown in this story is the physical manifestation of a literal nightmare which terrorised the heroine and almost kills both her and the hero. If that's too much clowning around for you, give this one a miss. Horrifying clowns aside, this is a good addition to Paige Tyler's Special Wolf Alpha Team (yes, SWAT). Although it's several books into

Book Review: The Seekers by Heather Graham

I haven’t read any of Heather Graham’s previous Krewe of Hunters books, but it was easy enough to pick up that the Krewe are a team of FBI agents who work on crimes outside the usual and who have abilities that are more than the usual as well. Joe, the male protagonist of this book, is a former Savannah cop in the process of joining the Krewe after a ghost helped him solve his last case. Acting as a consultant at the moment, he’s sent with a more experienced Krewe agent to in

Book Review: Wolf Rising by Paige Tyler

This is book 8 in the series, and though it would probably be ideal to start at the beginning to pick up on the worldbuilding I suspect was done earlier in the series, it wouldn’t matter too much if you started here. All the minor characters are sketched in well enough for you to get an idea of who they are, and the two protagonists are thoroughly fleshed out with plenty of meaty backstory to get your teeth into. Jayden Brooks is one of Dallas’ all-werewolf SWAT team. Once yo

Book Review: The Guardian by Siobhan Kearney

For a 63-page novella, The Guardian packs one hell of a punch. Full of lush, evocative prose, this story really carries you away. I felt as though I was right there with Phoebe, chasing her misbehaving dog Fallon into a graveyard which wasn’t there yesterday, complete with an unearthly guardian - a man named Edward who seems surprisingly corporeal for someone born over two centuries ago. Edward’s lonely, desperate for human contact after many years guarding the mystically pow

Book Review: Eyes Of The Tiger by Patricia Rosemoor

Be warned; if you’re fooled by the cover (and the fact that as of the time of writing this review, the book was in the Werewolves and Shifters category on Amazon) into thinking this is a shifter romance, it’s not. The tiger is an actual tiger who appears in the book. The cover really doesn’t much resemble the book’s contents, except in the heroine’s hair color. Gemma, the heroine, is an American jewelry designer (allegedly, though she never goes to a jewelry workshop or actua

Book Review: Highland Dragon Master by Isabel Cooper

Erik MacAlasdair has to leave Scotland’s war with the English before his dragon side begins to see all humans as nothing more than prey. Sent on a mission by his clan leader to find an ancient artifact which might help stop the war, he reunites with Toinette, the lovely female dragon shifter he grew up with long ago. Now mistress of her own ship, Toinette accepts his commission, but getting stranded on a cursed island was never part of the plan. Though it’s billed as a romanc

Book Review: Deja New by MaryJanice Davidson

Deja New is the second novel in MaryJanice Davidson’s Insighters series, and if you haven’t read the first one, you might as well give this one a miss. While the main character of this one, Angela, is a new protagonist, the main character from the first novel, Leah Nazir, is in this plenty. Her backstory is revisited enough for us to get a general idea of what might have happened in the first book, but the problem is that the world-building the reader needs to understand what

Book Review: Shifting Darkness by Kate Wendley

Shifting Darkness is the fourth book in the A Forest Of Darkness series, and it has a really intriguing premise - a shapeshifter hero who can't shift and is plagued by debilitating weakness. Vince is also Asian, ticking off another diversity box for the book. Slight spoiler; I suspected from the beginning that Vince's disability would have some Magical Solution, and I was right. While Vince's struggles with his weakness and inability to shift are well written throughout the b

Book Review: Girl Unseen by Athena Daniels

Girl Unseen is the third installment in Athena Daniels' Beyond The Grave series. I also reviewed the first two books in the series, The Seer's Daughter and The Alchemist's Son. While those two books really needed to be read as a pair, Girl Unseen works quite well as a standalone; though characters and events from the first two books are referenced, it is not done so much as to bemuse a reader new to the series. The book should probably have a few trigger warnings; kidnapping,

Book Review: Dark Angel by Amanda Jones

Don't be put off by the amateurish cover. This is a darn good story. It has its issues - the editing is almost as amateurish as the cover - but I enjoyed it anyway, and so will you if you give it a try. Luc is Lucifer Morningstar, one of the original fallen angels. But in this tale, there are many of shades of grey in between good and evil, and although there are a lot of stains on his soul from the deeds he's been forced to do for his satanic master, Luc's still an angel whe

Book Review: A Good Year by Tara Fox Hall

One of the things I liked best about this book is the mature-aged heroine. In so much romance, and particularly paranormal romance, the female protagonist is in her late teens or twenties. Debbie, the heroine of A Good Year, turns forty-one during the book, and since that happens to be exactly how old I am too I found myself really identifying with her. Ageism is still alive and well in the world of romance novels and this made a really nice change. There's an amoral charm to

Book Review: The Alchemist's Son by Athena Daniels

This is Part 2 of a 2-part series called Beyond The Grave. I read the first part, The Seer's Daughter, a couple of weeks ago and shrieked about that here because I LOVED it. I do think that you need to read The Seer's Daughter first; while this book contains some call-backs and summary, there's a lot that you would miss about the plot if you hadn't read the first book. That said, go the hell out and buy both of these books now because they are freaking FANTASTIC. I am not exa

Book Review: The Seer's Daughter by Athena Daniels

A RIPPING good read! This is one of the best books I've read in quite a while. I absolutely couldn't put it down, and when I'd finished it I promptly bought the second in the series because I was dying to know what happened next. When I looked up The Seer's Daughter on Amazon I discovered that it had been nominated for a whole bunch of awards, and I absolutely understand why. It deserves them. This is a wonderful romantic suspense, with the suspense and the paranormal aspects

Book Review: Immortal Flame by Jillian David

I thoroughly enjoyed this paranormal romance about Peter, an ex-WWII soldier who sold his soul to the devil to save his dying wife, and Allison, an ER surgeon battling to make a normal life despite the visions of death she receives from touching other people. It's a genuinely excellent, engaging world that the author has created here with a completely believable mythos (although I did find myself wondering who makes the 'Rules' that Peter's demon master has to abide by). I'd
