Liviania’s review of Plum Spooky (Between-the-Numbers Stephanie Plum) by Janet Evanovich
Contemporary mystery released by St. Martin’s 6 Jan 09
The Between-the-Numbers Stephanie Plum books have always been fun but less satisfying that those in the actual series.  For one thing, none of the previous three cleared 200 pages.  There’s only so much you can put into [...]

Gwen’s review of Spectre (Zoë Martinique, Book 2) by Phaedra Weldon
Contemporary urban fantasy released by Ace Trade 3 Jun 08
Attention authors! If you’re going to do first person, you may as well go all out and make it a conversation between the reader and your main character. Get personal, colloquial, and current.  I normally read [...]

Sandy M’s review of The Accidental Demon Slayer by Angie Fox
Contemporary Paranormal Romance released by Love Spell 29 Jul 08
This is a cute book. It has its moments.  Yeah, there’s a but.  I tried to let that “but” go, not pay any attention to it whenever possible.  Sigh.  Not even that helped.

Isn’t it a fabulous surprise when you pick up a book that gives every sign that it is going to be totally ridiculous, but the writer just writes the hell out of it? You are able [...]

Devon’s review of Slow Hands by Leslie Kelly
