Ash’s review of Shaedes of Gray by Amanda Bonilla Urban fantasy published by Signet Eclipse 06 Dec 11 I think maybe I am getting burnt out on paranormals because I feel like I never have anything new to say. I like Shaedes of Gray, but it doesn’t blow me away. With so many books out [...]

Ash’s review of Bloodlust (Nightshade Series, Book 2) by Michelle Rowen Urban fantasy published by Berkley Sensation 05 Jul 11 I really enjoy this series and I am happy to say that Michelle Rowen has left me feeling happy and satisfied with how it ends. Declan is always going to be a favorite of mine.

Liviania’s review of Magic Slays (Kate Daniels, Book 5) by Ilona Andrews Urban Fantasy published by Ace 31 May 11 Magic Bleeds is an almost perfect urban fantasy novel, so husband and wife team Ilona Andrews have a lot to live up to in Magic Slays.  But while Magic Slays falls short of its predecessor, [...]

Liviania’s review of Serpent’s Storm (Calliope Reaper-Jones, Book 3) by Amber Benson Urban fantasy published by Ace 22 Feb 11 Serpent’s Storm is one of two books I’ve read recently that I loved aside from one element.  Amber Benson (yes, Tara of Buffy the Vampire Slayer) has been improving with each book in the Calliope [...]

Liviania’s review of Twisted (Intertwined, Book 3) by Gena Showalter Urban fantasy published by Harlequin Teen 30 Aug 11 Gena Showalter’s Intertwined series has never been light and fluffy, but Twisted takes some dark turns.  This isn’t too surprising considering Unraveled ended shortly after Aden, the hero, got stabbed through the heart.

Ash’s review of Death’s Sweet Embrace (Dark Brethren, Book 3) by Tracey O’Hara Urban Fantasy published by Harper Voyager 25 Jan 11 To be honest, I don’t remember much of the first book. It’s been awhile and the details have just escaped me. I couldn’t remember the world or the characters. Luckily this one also [...]

Ash’s review of Afterlight (The Dark Ink Chronicles, Book 1) by Elle Jasper Urban Fantasy published by Signet Eclipse 02 Nov 10 Afterlight is a pretty average addition to the urban fantasy genre. It’s good enough to hold my interest, but there are more than a few things that stand out and make me roll [...]

Liviania’s review of Secrets of the Demon (Demon Summoner, Book 3) by Diana Rowland Urban Fantasy published by DAW 4 Jan 11 One of Sybil’s life goals is to convince me to read series out of order.  Sometimes I give in; sometimes I don’t.  It’s hard to resist when she hands me something like Diana [...]

Liviania’s review of Hellforged (Deadtown, Book 2) by Nancy Holzner Urban Fantasy published by Ace 28 Dec 10 Hellforged does not start immediately after Deadtown, there’s little downtime between the two books.  Vicky may have just banished a demon, but that doesn’t mean her work is over.  She’s just created new problems for herself to [...]

Liviania’s review of Tangled Threads (Elemental Assassin, Book 4) by Jennifer Estep Urban Fantasy published by Pocket 26 Apr 11 I can’t decide if Jennifer Estep is spinning her wheels with Tangled Threads or not.  If it were a standalone novel, I would love it.  As it is, I feel like very few of the [...]

Liviania’s review of Right Hand Magic (Golgotham, Book 1) by Nancy A. Collin Urban Fantasy published by ROC 7 Dec 10 Urban fantasy heroines kick ass.  It’s one of the great things about the genre.  At the same time, heroines who aren’t good fighters are a good change of pace.  There’s more than one way [...]

Ash’s review of Night’s Cold Kiss by Tracey O’Hara Urban Fantasy published by EOS 25 Aug 09 So, I haven’t read too many vampire books in the past few years, not as many as I used to. First I was bored with them all being alike, and then they all became so complicated just to [...]

Sandy M’s review of Blood Sin (Awakened by Blood, Book 2) by Marie Treanor Urban Fantasy published by NAL 5 Apr 11 I have found myself totally taken by Saloman, the hero of this series by Marie Treanor. His arrogance is in the stratosphere. His sensuality shoots beyond the stars. His aspirations to take over [...]

Liviania’s review of Blackout (Cal Leandros, Book 6) by Rob Thurman Urban Fantasy published by Roc 1 Mar 11 It seems like many romance readers hate the amnesia plot. Urban fantasy readers complain about it less, likely because it is used less. But I think Rob Thurman used it well. Despite being the sixth book [...]

Liviania’s review of Ghost of a Chance (Ghost Finders, Book 1) by Simon R. Green Urban fantasy published by Ace 31 Aug 10 Simon R. Green began writing urban fantasy when the genre was still young. Thus, I’ve heard good things about his work for awhile. I bought one of his books before, only to [...]
