Liviania’s review of Magic Slays (Kate Daniels, Book 5) by Ilona Andrews Urban Fantasy published by Ace 31 May 11 Magic Bleeds is an almost perfect urban fantasy novel, so husband and wife team Ilona Andrews have a lot to live up to in Magic Slays.  But while Magic Slays falls short of its predecessor, [...]

Liviania’s review of Serpent’s Storm (Calliope Reaper-Jones, Book 3) by Amber Benson Urban fantasy published by Ace 22 Feb 11 Serpent’s Storm is one of two books I’ve read recently that I loved aside from one element.  Amber Benson (yes, Tara of Buffy the Vampire Slayer) has been improving with each book in the Calliope [...]

Liviania’s review of Hellforged (Deadtown, Book 2) by Nancy Holzner Urban Fantasy published by Ace 28 Dec 10 Hellforged does not start immediately after Deadtown, there’s little downtime between the two books.  Vicky may have just banished a demon, but that doesn’t mean her work is over.  She’s just created new problems for herself to [...]

Ash’s review of Red Hot Fury by Kasey Mackenzie Urban Fantasy released by Ace 29 Jun 10 Instead of the usual vampires and werewolves, Kasey Mackenzie has given us Furies and Warhounds.

Liviania’s review of SpellCrash (WebMage, Book 5) by Kelly McCullough Mythology/cyberpunk/fantasy released by Ace 25 May 2010 I somehow managed to not realize there existed a series that crossed mythology with cyberpunk.

Gwen’s review of Hunting Ground (Alpha and Omega, Book 2) by Patricia Briggs Paranormal romantic suspense released by Ace 29 Aug 09 I love Briggs’ storytelling.  Her books are always these lovely tales that are full of interesting, unique, and oddly believable paranormal elements.  You sincerely feel as if her world could exist and she’s [...]
