Once you begin, it’s like an addiction...
C.J. Redwine delivers a fantastic conclusion to her debut series. Deliverance is the third and final book of this trilogy and while I really enjoyed the first book, I thought the sequel fell a little short because of repetition and lack of plot. However, the author redeemed herself with this last book because, while I wasn't really sure where she was leading us with this story, I was sad, surprised and shocked throughout the whole...

Alexa is still by King's Damian side, still his guard even though both their hearts yearn for more. They might have won a battle, gaining control of Antion, but the war is far from being over. Unknown enemies are attacking the King and the border villages, but where should they strike when they don't know the real nature of their enemies?Ignite is a great sequel to Defy, and even though I enjoyed the first book slightly more (there is something magical...

Hunt for Jade Dragon is the fourth book in the awesome Michael Vey series, and fans of the first three books will definitely not be disappointed in this latest installment. However, I would caution that there seems to be a major shift in focus in this book as compared to the others.The first three books are totally focused on ACTION ACTION ACTION. A group of about ten teens, who all have super electric powers, have banded together to...

Fortunately for the city, they have the only openly practicing wizard, Harry Dresden. Wizard Dresden has managed to eke out an existence in spite of vast majority of the city not taking him the least bit seriously.In this, the first installment,...
This week's guest is Elizabeth Corrigan, author of the fantastic Oracle of Philadelphia and Raising Chaos books. After reading Oracle of Philadelphia, I learned that she had a Pinterest board of potential movie stars to play her characters, and I just knew that we were "kindred spirits" (as Anne Shirley would say), as I often "cast" characters as I read books too! In today's post we'll see what Elizabeth is up to when...
This is an example of exceptional YA novels and it makes me proud to say that I'm an adult that loves young adult novels. Although Clariel is identified as the fourth book of The Old Kingdom series, it's actually a prequel to Sabriel, the book that started it all. I must have read the other books of the series a good ten years ago when I was a real young adult in high school, and while I remember loving the series, I don't...

So this review could contain slight spoilers for the first two books, but I promise no spoilers of this volume.You won't find any series fatigue in this third volume! After a narrow escape from the Peruvian Elgen headquarters, the Electroclan is scattered in the jungle. Not only do they need to continue eluding the remaining Elgen guards and Dr. Hatch, but they also...
Answers. That is the most succinct description of this book that I can give. Answers to so many of the questions that are brought up and in the first two books are answered here. Much like real life, many of the solutions may not be what we hoped they would be. This is another piece of the story that gives it that feel of authenticity.Overall, the series has many of the hallmarks of Urban Fantasy. The characters are multifaceted, vulnerable...
Today I'm excited to host Lia Davis, author of It's a Vampire Christmas. Stephanie will be reviewing the book in just a few days, so watch for that! When I’m not writing, I’m hanging out with Hubby and my daughter, but not always at the same time. I typically work twelve hour days, sometimes more. I’ve recently started making myself log off the computer and go watch TV with my hubby at a certain time during the week. I try to take...
Sorry for the absence, folks!

But I committed to this tour for VACANT because I'm a huge Alex Hughes fan, as you probably know if you're a long-time reader of the blog, and I wanted to spread the love!The fourth book in Hughes' Mindspace Investigations series, VACANT...
