Book Review: Wanted: Undead or Alive (Love at Stake #12)

When I saw that this would be the story of Phineas and Brynley, I have to admit I wasn’t excited. Phineas, though quite a characters, has always struck me as very immature. And Brynley is prickly. BUT … I actually liked it. There was better characterization in this story than I’ve seen in many of […]

Book Review: Mother of Storms

Immense. That’s the best word I can think of to describe this story. At first glance, it’s the story of an apocalypse — a nuclear attack accidentally releases enough methane into the air to cause catastrophic global warming and resulting hurricanes. But it doesn’t take much of a peek beneath the surface to see that […]

Book Review: Sexiest Vampire Alive (Love at Stake, #11)

Gregory is a 100% bottle-fed vampire. That is to say, he’s never bitten a mortal; he has survived entirely on synthetic blood.

Book Review: Vampire Mine (Love at Stake #10)

This book takes us back to the Scottish warriors. But instead of hooking up with a mortal, this one falls for … an angel? Hmmm. I’m not sure how excited I am that this series has taken on an angel. I don’t want to see it morph into a heaven vs hell story. This book […]

She instantly falls in love with Carlos, a jaguar shape-shifter trying to save his species from extinction. But in order to do that, he must marry and have […]

My New Favorite Scifi Series: Sense8

I have a new all-time favorite science fiction series. Snese8, which I binge watched over the last week-and-a-half on Netflix, has ousted Babylon 5 from the coveted #1 spot that it held in my heart for over 15 years. J. Michael Straczynski had a hand in both, and there are some similarities in what I […]

The Vampire and the Virgin (Love at Stake, #8)

Book 8 in the Love at Stake series gives us another male vampire and female mortal with a gift — this time she’s an empath and human lie detector. Apparently she’s a virgin because no man has ever been completely honest to her. So of course she decides to get together with a vampire who […]
