Ash’s review of Demon Song (Blood Singer Series, Book 3) by Cat Adams Urban Fantasy published by Tor 01 Mar 11 It makes me sad that this series is getting less interesting as it goes on, I had really high hopes at the start of it.

Ash’s review of Siren Song (Blood Singer Series, Book 2) by Cat Adams Urban Fantasy released by Tor 28 SEP 10 I really enjoyed the first book, and for some reason I put off reading this one. I think I worried it wouldn’t be as good or things would happen to annoy me. Turns out [...]

Liviania’s review of Discord’s Apple by Carrie Vaughn Fantasy released by Tor 6 July 10 I knew little about the plot of Discord’s Apple before I started; I simply wanted to read it since I like Carrie Vaughn’s Kitty Norville series.  So I was quite pleased to see several elements I like used together: Homer, [...]

Liviania’s review of Kitty Goes to War (Kitty Norville, Book Eight) by Carrie Vaughn Urban fantasy published by Tor 29 Jun 10 The Kitty Norville series is both consistent and surprising.  Carrie Vaughn does a good job of giving the Kitty series a unique feeling among the sea of urban fantasies available.  For one, the [...]

Ash’s review of Blood Song (Blood Singer Series Book 1) by Cat Adams Urban Fantasy released by Tor 08 Jun 10 It seems like lately to read a good urban fantasy, you need a guide to go along with it. It’s great to read one where the world is fresh and easy to understand, and [...]

We have another terrific day scheduled here at Duck Chat. Thanks for stopping by! Your treat for the day is S. J. Day! Of course, most of you know S.J. as Sylvia Day, but she began her sojourn into urban fantasy under a different name. Her first trilogy, the Marked series, debuted this year. Eve [...]

Gwen’s review of Eve of Destruction (Marked, Book 2) by S.J. Day Urban Fantasy released by Tor 2 Jun 09 As you know by now, Sylvia Day is one of my fav erotic romance authors, so this entry into the UF genre is something I read with avid interest. Few people can twist passion and [...]

Gwen’s review of Eve of Darkness (Marked, Book 1) by S.J. Day Urban Fantasy released by Tor 28 Apr 09 Let me just say that it’s nice to see some ethnic flavor in a heroine for once.  And this heroine kicks some serious butt.  Not to mention that the heroes (yes, more than one) are [...]

Gwen’s review of Red (Dead World, Book 1) by Jordan Summers Urban Fantasy Romance released by Tor Paranormal Romance 4 Nov 08 I read a lot of urban fantasy.  I read a lot of historicals, too.  Okay, okay.  I just plain read a lot.  But I still read a lot of urban fantasy and when [...]

Gwen’s review of Fallen (Fallen Angel Trilogy, Book 1) by Claire Delacroix Urban fantasy romantic suspense released by Tor 30 Sep 08 The book takes place in a post-(multiple)apocalyptic United States, now called the Republic, in the year 2099.  It’s a dirty-nuke-ravaged, but functioning society that is literally powered by slave labor.  This labor is [...]

Gwen’s review of In Twilight’s Shadow (Light Warriors, Book 2) by Patti O’Shea Action paranormal romance released by Tor Books 3 Jun 08 Another page-turner from Patti O’Shea.  This one is full of interesting characters and some terrific action.  O’Shea has become my go-to author for action romance.  I can trust her to write interesting, [...]

Shannon C.’s review of Widdershins by Charles de Lint Urban fantasy released by Tor 16 May 06 Charles de Lint is a comfort read for me. I find his stories are fairly similar, with many of the same archetypes and descriptions, but I always feel a sense of homecoming whenever I return to the world [...]

Shannon C.’s review of Callahan’s Legacy by Spider Robinson Science fiction novel released by Tor 15 Sep 97 One of the reasons that I started reviewing correlates directly with something Spider Robinson said in the first of his Callahan’s books: “Shared joy is increased, shared pain is lessened.” I know there’s nothing that makes me [...]

Shannon C.’s review of Hominids: Neanderthal Parallax, Book 1 by Robert J. Sawyer Science fiction published by Tor 1 May 02 I might never have gotten to this book if it weren’t for reading a relatively negative review of it recently. The reviewer seemed to say, at least to my mind, that Robert J. Sawyer [...]

Gwen’s review of In the Midnight Hour (Light Warriors, Book 1) by Patti O’Shea Paranormal romance published 31 July 2007 by Tor Yes yes.  I know I’m late with this.  What can I say – too many books, so little time. Patti O’Shea is one of my favorite action romance writers.  Her book The Power [...]
