This continues to be a fast-paced, enjoyable series full of intriguing world building, moral gray areas, and lots of steamy content. At this point, the characters are starting to blur together a bit in my mind, which is the main reason I’m going three stars. The bad-ass heroes and heroines need a bit more variance, […]

Book Review: Passion Unleashed
Another captivating book in the Demonica series that just keeps me wanting more. In this one we get the vampire incubus Wraith, who is injected with a rare poison and can only be saved if he gets a protective charm away from a woman. No problem, since to get the charm he just has to […]
Book Review: Desire Unbound (Demonica #2)
This continues the story of the three incubus doctors/paramedics who run Underworld General Hospital. In this one, Shade, cursed to become insubstantial if he ever falls in love, falls in love. (Who didn’t see that one coming?) I did enjoy this and read it even more quickly than the first, partly because I was already […]
Book Review: Pleasure Unbound (Demonica #1)
An intriguing beginning to a series I definitely plan to keep reading… Eidolon is an incubus doctor working at Underground General Hospital (UGH). He treats demons, mostly, although early in this story a human — well half-human, she just doesn’t know it — ends up in his ER. She’s a demon slayer whose world is […]
Book Review: Leopard’s Prey
Renny is a New Orleans cop (and a leopard shape shifter) hunting a serial killer who murders in a strange, ritualistic manner. Meanwhile, he falls hard for a rock star turned jazz singer who is just emerging as a leopard and has no idea who or what she is. There was a lot to like […]
Book Review: The River of no Return
Well-constructed, well-told, well-characterized… these are phrases I so rarely associate with time travel that I had no choice but to give this book five stars! What a great read. I could not put this down. My only reservation about this book is that the ending called for a sequel, yet an Internet search shows no […]
Book Review: Werewolf in Alaska
I’m being more critical of this book than I probably should be because quite frankly, it’s time for this series to end. I’ve never been hugely fond of Thompson’s take on werewolves. I went with it anyway because she has an engaging style and makes me laugh, and I’ve always felt that was the intention. […]

But when she nearly dies wising twin stones no sane person would touch, she learns that the stone truth may not be as it appears. Deception surrounds her and the rebllious Sariah sets off on her own desperate quest for […]
Book Review: Alif the Unseen
I really enjoyed this story. It begins with Alif, who helps people hide from the government on the Internet, suffer from woman problems — a rich girl he fell in love with is marrying another man. When she says it’s best if she never sees him again, he takes this to heart — he writes […]
