Liviania’s review of Among Thieves (A Tale of the Kin, Book 1) by Douglas Hulick Fantasy published by ROC 5 April 11 I buy books on impulse.  I bought Among Thieves because it had the word ‘thieves’ on the cover.  Yes, it was from ROC, an imprint I like.  Yes, the back cover blurb involved [...]

Liviania’s review of Right Hand Magic (Golgotham, Book 1) by Nancy A.

Liviania’s review of The Black Ship (Crosspointe, Book 2) by Diana Pharaoh Francis Fantasy released by ROC 4 Nov 08 For some reason, I like reading about people on ships.  Well, about sailors.  I’ve been on a boat before and know just getting ferried around isn’t a particularly exciting experience.  But something about the camaraderie [...]

Liviania’s review of Magic to the Bone by Devon Monk Urban fantasy released by ROC 4 Nov 08 I love all sorts of urban fantasy, but I definitely have a soft-spot for the currently ubiquitous female solving crimes.  Due to that ubiquity I’m constantly afraid when I start reading one of those books because there’s [...]
