Review: Hotter Than Hell (13 Author Anthology)

July 17, 2008

Book CoverLiviania's review of Hotter Than Hell by Tanya Huff, Marjorie M. Liu, Cheyenne McCray, L.A. Banks, Susan Krinard, Keri Arthur, Heidi Betts, Lilith Saintcrow, Susan Sizemore, Denise Little, Carrie Vaughn, Linda Winstead Jones, and Kim Harrison
Urban fantasy/paranormal romance anthology released by Harper 24 June 08

With Hotter than Hell, HarperCollins goes in a somewhat different direction from their previous Hell anthologies. These are erotic short stories rather than novellas. It's worth picking up if you're very fond of one of the authors or wish to experience several of the authors' work before buying their series. While all of the stories are well-written and none are truly awful, many of the stories are forgettable or unsatisfying. Read more

Book 5Gwen's review of To Hell and Back (Dante Valentine, Book 5) by Lilith Saintcrow

REVIEW: Saint City Sinners by Lilith Saintcrow

November 12, 2007

Book CoverGwen's review of Saint City Sinners (Dante Valentine, Book 4) by Lilith Saintcrow
Futuristic Urban Fantasy released by Orbit 1 Nov 07

It's nearly impossible to review a Dante Valentine novel on its own.  Each of the now four books is dependent on the others.  I also recommend reading the glossary before you start.  Yes, the glossary and I heard some of you groaning out there. Remember, Saintcrow hasn't created a small world here.  It's complex and about 100 years in the future with magic, weres, nichtvren (vampires), demons, witches, psychics, humans, and myriad other beings all living together. This alternate world fits over what we know like a loose framework.  Like one of those crocheted ponchos you wore as a kid, you can see what's underneath but you were still covered.  It's truly fascinating and has some interesting political and religious differences.  Read more
