The great thing about a small town is that it seems like everybody knows everybody else and that can make seem friendly. The bad thing about a small town is, it seems like everybody knows everybody else and you have very little privacy. Allison finds that out when she returns to her hometown to start a Guest House (not a B&B). She also discovers, though, secrets still manage to be kept and some are darker...
This sequel has surpassed my expectations. I wasn't overly pleased with the first book of the series, Half Bad, so honestly my expectations weren't very high. But I caved and gave this one a shot. I'm glad this series is getting better, however, I've definitely read better books. Nathan is still the protagonist of the story and he's still on the run from the Council of white witches and their Hunters. Things are far more interesting now that he has...
I was very sad when Jennifer Estep ended her first YA series, Mythos Academy. Thankfully, she's back with an exciting new world inhabited by some very interesting characters in COLD BURN OF MAGIC, the start of her new YA series.In Cloudburst Falls, West Virginia, a town dubbed “the most magical place in America”, the world works a bit differently. There are magical Families that run the town, like magical mobsters, with the Sinclairs and the...

Putting her foot down and refusing to send shipments of slaves to the Mort was Queen Kelsea's first decision as a Queen, and it might be the one that will destroy her Kingdom. The Mort won't take no for an answer and they are marching on the Tearling to take by force what they think is their due, and Kelsea will have to push them back or die trying.The Invasion of the Tearling was a great installment and I am happy to say it is not suffering from...
This book was such a lovely surprise! I've only read a few other urban fantasy novels. Guess what? I think I can say now that I am most certainly an urban fantasy fan! I couldn't put Oracle of Philadelphia down! Some things I loved about the book: The characters and their depth. I want to be friends with Carrie and Bedlam! Mostly Carrie, because I think Bedlam could feel like a bit much after hanging out for awhile, but I think he'd be a ton of fun in small doses. See what I mean about...
Now that Steelheart and Mitosis are no more, everything can go back to normal, right? Of course not. The thing about Epics is, there are plenty to go around. The Reckoners find that getting rid of one tyrant makes room for at least one more. Now, Newcago is trying to rebuild after being controlled by Steelheart for so long. In the middle of all of that, the Reckoners need to send a small crew to help out the Reckoner...
I've been a big fan of this series in the past, despite all the ups and downs it went through. However, I can honestly say I'm not a fan of this particular book. At first, I thought "Yes! The Anita Blake I love is back!" since there was a lot police work at the beginning of the book. The first half of the book is dedicated to preturnatural police investigations and action. Dolph and Zerbrowski are back and I honestly thought the book was...

This fantastic New Adult book has just the right mix of college life, friendship, romance, and ghosts!Beckon Me is only the second New Adult book I've tried. I've been hesistant, under the misbelief that New Adult is just YA with sex. Boy, was I wrong! If all New Adult is anything like Beckon Me, its more about the age of the characters (college or very young adult) and the depth of the characters' interactions with each other...

Cindy Thomas is a YA and NA author, and also a publicist for Spencer Hill Press. Her newest book is the paranormal NA Beckon Me, which I just read and LOVED. (You'll be able to read my full review on Thursday.) Cindy's a busy woman, what with work and writing and "mom-ing," so I'm very grateful she was able to stop by and tell us more about what she's up to when she's not writing!There are a ton of things I should be doing...
When I'm in the mood for a good paranormal romance (heavy on the romance) Gena Showalter is always at the top of my list. Her name is synonymous with the genre and I've enjoyed pretty much everything I've read from her long list of books. Honestly, I've been negligent and haven't read her most recent releases. The Pleasure Slave is an older release but I thought I would work my way through her books by starting with her earliest ones.As...
WICKEDLY DANGEROUS is the start of what could be an exciting new series. The series is based on the Baba Yaga mythology, a supernatural being from Russian lore who's usually a crone who lives in a hut with chicken legs and flies around in a mortar and pestle. Most urban fantasy and paranormal series focus on other supernatural beings so I was very curious to see what someone might do with Baba Yaga. In Blake's world, Baba Yaga is a...

In The Assassin and the Pirate Lord, we get to meet Celaena a super pretty and extremely cocky sixteen years old assassin, on a mission for her master, along with Sam, another assassin she grew up with. Both teenagers thought they were going to the pirate lord to settle a business with him, after some assassins were presumably killed by pirates, but both youth are in for a surprise.I really enjoyed this story because even though the novella is only...

Inheritance is the fourth (and final) book in the Eragon series, so I can't guarantee that there won't be spoilers for the first three books in this review. I can promise no spoilers for Inheritance.Eragon has come a looooong way from his humble beginning in Eragon! From a poor farm boy who knew little of his family to a dragon rider leading the Varden (sp?) against Galbatorix. As you can imagine, Inheritance is fraught...

At the center of it all, a young girl barely into her teens, has the eyes and hopes of the world on her.As a story, overall, it's not...
It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of Beth Bernobich's River of Souls Series. When she approached me to help her spread the word about her upcoming novella set in the same world, I jumped at the chance. She plans to publish the e-novella, Nocturnall, in December. However, because she wants "to give this story the professional treatment it deserves, including custom cover art from up-and-coming artist Jessica Shirley," she started a Kickstarter fund...
Honestly, Molly Harper can do no wrong when it comes to writing paranormal romance fiction. She literally has me laughing out loud while reading her paranormal romance books. Combining snarky, remarkable and witty female characters with supernatural hot men is always entertaining, but somehow, Molly Harper is a genius when it comes to humor in paranormal romance. The funny banter and the hilarious situations is what keeps me coming back to this series...
