REVIEW: Nightkeepers by Jessica Andersen

Gwen's review of Nightkeepers (The Final Prophecy, Book 1) by Jessica Andersen
Paranormal romance released by Signet 3 Jun 08
This is the start of what promises to be a very fun paranormal romantic suspense series. You can't get a lot more ambitious than calling a series "Final Prophecy" and talking about how the world will end in our lifetimes. Luckily, Andersen delivers a fun story and engrossing romance to go along with the dire predictions. Read more

Nightkeepers by Jessica Andersen, the first book in the Novels of the Final Prophecy series, just released on 3 June 2008. It is the first book in a series featuring Mayan gods and goddesses and the END OF THE WORLD! Get your excerpt here. Ms. Andersen recently guested here at TGTBTU (see here and here). The Maya, huh? Certainly an unusual element for a paranormal romance novel. Since your knowledge of this ancient civilization may be a bit rusty (or non-existent), Ms. Andersen has provided us with some interesting tidbits.

Review: Lover Enshrined by J.R. Ward

Limecello's review of Lover Enshrined (Black Dagger Brotherhood, Book 6) by J.R. Ward
Contemporary paranormal romance released by Signet on 3 Jun 08
I've been a huge fan of the Black Dagger Brotherhood books since I started reading them, and I'm curious as to where the series is going to go. I liked this book more than I expected, based on Lover Unbound. I tried to avoid reviews before I read Lover Enshrined - but I still got a sense of disappointment from readers, and it pains me to agree. For those of you who have read the series, you understand. Those of you who haven't read it yet - I recommend reading the series and formulating your own opinion.

Gwen's review of Lover Enshrined (Black Dagger Brotherhood, Book 6) by J.R. Ward
Contemporary paranormal romance released by Signet 3 Jun 08
I caught up to Ward's Brotherhood when I read Lover Eternal. Loved it - it wasn't perfect, but damn it was a good story with a very hot hero. I quickly bought and read Dark Lover - I admit I didn't like it as well as LE, but still loved the shit out of it. I was disappointed by Lover Awakened - not sure why. Loved Lover Revealed - Butch was one hot hero. Didn't really love Lover Unbound. Now that I've read Lover Enshrined and all I can say is "DAMN!" Read on to find out if that's a good thing...

LauraD's review of Lover Enshrined (Black Dagger Brotherhood, Book 6) by J.R. Ward
Paranormal romance released by Signet 3 Jun 08
Full disclosure: I am a J.R. Ward fanghirl. I have smoked the crack, I have consumed the KoolAid. However, I think I'm still capable of being honest about the good/bad/wonderful fraternal shift that is Lover Enshrined. Read more

Shannon C.'s review of A Lady's Secret by Jo Beverley
Historical romance published Apr 25, 2008 by Signet
Reading the last book in a series is always a bit daunting, especially if you haven't been following said series. But some genres pull off series books that act as standalones better than do others. That's why, when Sybil asked me to read Jo Beverley's latest, A Lady's Secret I figured it wouldn't matter so much if the book was set in her popular Malloren world, which I'd never visited before, because it's a historical and I figured it'd stand alone.

A Lady's Secret by Jo Beverley
Jo Beverley keeps a blog of interesting historical facts she finds while doing her research. Tres nifty... you should check it out. In fact her whole website is worth checking out, interesting stuff, and I have to admit this is my first book to read by the author (the summary will explain 
).
Although I have kept Lovers and Ladies out since it showed up for review a few weeks ago.
She is getting much love from the coverfairy...
EXCERPT: Phantom Pleasures by Julie Leto
April 6, 2008
I love hotels. It really is rather odd that I am not still working in the other than the fact that it is a 24/7 business that will suck the ever loving life out of you - and so NOT in a good way.
So when I saw the summary to Phantom Pleasures by Julie Leto, I admit it, I squuueee'ed. And I moved the book up on my TBR.

Alicia’s review of Freefall by JoAnn Ross
Romantic suspense released by Signet on 5 Feb 08
I'm a sucker for good Romantic Suspense, especially when the author has an obvious love for her subject. I only had to read the excerpt for Freefall and I had to have it. I hadn't read JoAnn Ross before but her voice just sucked me in.
