I knew going into this book that the romance would not be a central feature, because that was the case with Deadly Dreams. But I didn’t expect it to be even more lacking than it was the last time. I was really looking forward to getting to know the Mindhunters boss, Adam Raiker, and watching [...]
Review: Dark is the Night by Brindle Chase
July 13, 2011 By 8 Comments
This book immediately grabbed my attention with the dark and gritty violence in the beginning. It was a little refreshing to start a book about vampires and have a real sense of the true nature of the vampires portrayed in this book. They are what they are – killers who need the blood of others [...]
Review: Warcry by Elizabeth Vaughan
May 30, 2011 By 14 Comments
This is the first book I have read in Chronicles of the Warlands series, and, unfortunately, I think it will be my last. I don’t think my experience with this book would have been improved by reading any of the previous books because it’s actually the style that I didn’t enjoy, not the storyline. When [...]

Review: Primal Bonds by Jennifer Ashley
March 31, 2011 By 10 Comments
I’ve finished Primal Bonds (obviously) and all I’m left with is a vague ‘meh’ feeling. It seems like I never fully engaged with the story. I never really cared about the main characters the way I wanted to and I felt that everything was a bit too pat to really enjoy. We open the book [...]
Review: Stone Kissed by Keri Stevens
March 6, 2011 By 5 Comments
Stone Kissed is a very different from what I expected and I usually like it when I’m taken by surprised by a story. It had a bit of a dark edge to it that appealed to me but I had a few problems with this one that just took me too far out of the [...]

This book captured my attention right from the start. Jillian was just a normal girl, minding her own business at work, when she was used as a hostage and injected with some mysterious serum. The next thing she knows, she’s been kidnapped and is on her way to a scientist to see if they can [...]
Review: Anchored by Rachel Haimowitz
February 16, 2011 By 9 Comments
Network news anchor Daniel Halstrom is at the top of his field, but being at the bottom of the social ladder--being a slave--makes that hard to enjoy. Especially when NewWorld Media, the company who’s owned him since childhood, decides to lease him on evenings and weekends to boost their flagging profits. Daniel’s not stupid; he [...]
