Book Review: The Bride Finder
The St. Ledgers are all possessed of strange magical powers. Anatole moves things with his mind and sees visions of the future — visions that warn him against a red-haired woman. But when he sends the family bride finder for his intended bride, with a detailed list of what he needed, he is presented with […]
Book Review: Perfect Timing
I love fantasy. I love romance. So when I found out one of my favorite romance authors had decided to delve into fantasy I was excited. Nervous, but excited. I confess myself disappointed. Strangely enough, the problem with this book wasn’t the magic. That’s what I thought the problem would be. Usually when a romance […]
Book Review: Ill WInds
I had trouble getting into this story, but it rallied at the end. Joanna is on the run when the story unfolds, but the reason why doesn’t come clear until about halfway through. Oh, we get hints, but not the full story. She just talks about the “demon mark” as if a reader new to […]
Haven’t I Read This Story Before?
This was supposed to be a review of The Mystery Woman by Amanda Quick, an author who I have enjoyed under all three of her names. (She’s also Jayne Ann Krentz and Jayne Castle.) Then I realized that I’ve read this story before. Oh, not this book — but definitely this story. It’s a good […]
Book Review: Redoubt
In my review of Changes, I said this series may have lost me. I recently reread my review and remembered my frustration with the slow pace of this series and in that case the sheer repetitiveness of it. I did pick up the next book in the series (obviously), mostly on the strength of Lackey’s […]

Book Review: Dream Eyes
Yet another fun paranormal mystery from Jayne Ann Krentz. In this story, Gwen is still messed up from confronting a serial killer two years ago when she finds an old friend murdered in a way that stirs it all up again. But that killer died. She watched him go over the falls. So who is […]
Book Review: Death Angel
Drea is ready to break with her mob boyfriend, but getting away from him isn’t easy. He sends dangerous assassin Rousseau after her — a man who knows her intimately — and the chase begins. This book is one of those that impresses me with its sheer audacity. The dark hero assassin is basically cliche […]
Review: Towers of Midnight (Wheel of Time Book 13)
This second-to-last volume in the Wheel of Time series was almost non-stop excitement. The last battle is coming, and the main characters are getting in place to deal with it. Perrin finally deals with his wolfish side (that was a bit long in coming, IMO). Rand, meanwhile, has embraced death. It’s an Aiel saying, but […]
