Made to be Broken

I wrote about the second of Kelley Armstrong’s Nadia Stafford series at Curled Up With a Good Book. Check it out here.

The Help

When I don’t really care for a book, I generally just don’t write about it here. I have written some reviews of books I dislike, if I have specific reasons. If it was simply “this book didn’t grab me” then I just don’t write about it. I read so many books that [...]

Cleopatra’s Daughter

I wrote about Cleopatra’s Daughter for Bookbrowse.com.
Go check out my review – and other people’s review – of Cleopatra’s Daughter.
While you’re there, consider getting a membership. I find out about great books well before they show up on bookshelves and sometimes I get Advance Reading Copies to review. It’s pretty great and not [...]

The Mark of the Demon

I can’t believe I got suckered into yet another series but I did.
Mark of the Demon is the very first book by Diana Rowland, so obviously the very first book of this series.
Kara Gillian is a Louisiana detective. She’s only been a detective for three years and she’s been assigned her first homicide [...]

Destined for an Early Grave

This  is the fourth book of the series and it just keeps getting better.
Cat Crawfield is half-vampire and half-human.  Until six years ago, she was a vampire killer.  Then she met Bones.  She’s since learned that not all vampires are evil but that a good many of them aren’t all they appear to be.
She has [...]

Got Books?

Apparently, I’ve been on a Book Frenzy.
Last night, I went to Bunns & Noodles and bought:
Mark of the Demon – Diana Rowland (a new series for me)
Greywalker – Kat Richardson (another new series, thanks to Renee
Coraline – Neil Gaiman (My 12-year-old nephew says he loves it, so I had to buy it)
[...]

Over My Dead Body: 43 Old Cemetary Road Book 2 – Kate Klise & M. Sarah Klise

Somehow, I wound up on the Amazon Vine list. This is the first of the books I’ve reviewed as an Official Vine Reviewer but I have two more books waiting for me to review and I think another one the way.
You can read the review here.

Guilty Pleasures by Laurell K. Hamilton

In Anita Blake’s St. Louis, vampires and werewolves aren’t figments of our imagination or the stuff of fiction. They are real and walking the streets, they own businesses and have jobs and lives, the vampires even have their own church.
Anita’s primary job is as an animator. She raises the dead – [...]

The Series in Order Category

I don’t know about you, but I like to read a book series in order from first to last. It’s annoying when I’m in a bookstore and can’t figure out which book came first. I suppose I could pull each book out and line them up in order of publication date, but that’s [...]

Some Thoughts on This Blog

I originally started writing this blog just to keep track of some of the more complicated book series I read. However, I haven’t done that. It was tedious, writing all those notes, so I didn’t.
I’ve read a lot over the last month or so but I haven’t written anything about any of it [...]
