Wednesday, March 13, 2013 1:00 No Comments

Veena’s review of The Hob (The Gray Court, Book 4) by Dana Marie Bell Fantasy Romance published by Samhain Publishing 22 Jan 13 I’ve always thought Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream is a delightful piece of whimsy, but Dana Marie Bell takes it to a whole new level in her Gray Court series.

Veena’s review of Possessed by Desire (Firebrand Series)  by Elisabeth Naughton Paranormal/Fantasy Romance published by Amazon Digital Services, Inc.  21 Jan 13  I’m a fan of this author’s Eternal Guardian series, but this new series is definitely not in the same class. However, it’s a quick, light read, though I have to say this concluding book is the weakest of the [...]

Ash’s review of Be Careful What You Wish For by Nick Howard Fantasy Romance short story published by Samhain 11 Jan 11 Well…I don’t really have anything good to say about Be Careful What You Wish For. I was looking for something fun and I got something bland.

OVERVIEW: Queen of Song and Souls

Tuesday, October 26, 2010 15:00 5 Comments

Action begins the war in this edition of the series in Queen of Song and Souls. I remember my heart thudding with each throw of a fey’cha or thrust of a sword or toss of a magical ball of fire. Ms. Wilson pulls no punches in the beginning of this war with the Eld mages. [...]

OVERVIEW: King of Sword and Sky

Tuesday, October 26, 2010 14:00 5 Comments

Sometimes it amazes me the villains authors are able to write. I laugh and ask where they get their inspiration, how deep they have to dig. I mean, sometimes it’s spooky how evil these characters can be. The High Mage of Eld is one of those villains. He’s taken centuries to hatch his plans, to [...]

OVERVIEW: Lady of Light and Shadows

Tuesday, October 26, 2010 13:00 5 Comments

Lady of Light and Shadows is the second half of C.L. Wilson’s original 1,000-page manuscript. That’s one of the reasons (a 1,000-page manuscript from a new author being another) her Tairen Soul series was rejected several times before finally being published. At that time, C.L., in her wildest dreams, never imagined her book would go [...]

OVERVIEW: Lord of the Fading Lands

Tuesday, October 26, 2010 12:00 5 Comments

I look at this cover now and think how crazy I was to judge the fantasy story inside as something I probably wouldn’t like. Now this cover as well as the other four in this series are some of my favorites. The old saying is true: Don’t judge a book its cover. This is the [...]

Sandy M’s Best of 2008

Sunday, January 11, 2009 11:58 12 Comments

I liked C2′s idea of a Best of 2008 list.  Then Liv got into the action, so thought I’d give it a try too.  (Of course, mine are the best of the bunch.)  I was never one to keep track of my reads, and 2008 was the first time I’ve done that; therefore, this list, [...]
