Thanks for having me here today at Into the Dreaming to talk about my newest release, Guarding Poppy, featuring one of my favorite characters, Alec Lambert. Characters are the most important element to any good story and, as a writer, I feel I’ve grown up right alongside Alec. We initially meet him in the first […]

If I’m reading it, I’ll write about it here — scifi, fantasy, romance, mystery, non-fiction, or whatever my book club makes me read.
Book Review: Under the Dome
I picked up this book after watching the first season of the TV series inspired by this concept. I originally thought it was based on the book, but the more I read, the more I realized that “inspired by” is far more correct. If you’ve seen the TV series, you know it’s a survival story. […]
It was kind of nice to see Krentz stepping back from her paranormal series. This was a typical mainstream mystery, complete with sociopaths and serial killers. I enjoyed the suspense and mystery of it … right up until the reveal. It’s tough to review mysteries because so often the problem is with the ending, and […]
Book Review: Bastion
This series baffles me. First of all: Is it over? If anyone knows, please comment! I don’t feel a burning need to read anything else in the series. It didn’t end on a cliffhanger and the mysteries of the previous volumes are over. And yet if this is the end … talk about an anti-climax! It practically […]
Book Review: Reaver
This was another entertaining story in the Demonica world, this time involving Reaver — a fallen, reelevated, refallen, re… agenl who likes to break the rules. He goes after Harvester, a spy who is being tortured by Satan (a mission that is also against the rules). I enjoyed reading this book. I’ve enjoyed this whole […]
Book Review: Rogue Rider
After Pestilence dies, he comes back as Reseph — without any memories of who he was or what he had done. Jillian finds him unconscious and naked in the snow and rescues him, at least until forces work to bring out the evil within the man once more. There was a lot to like about […]
Book Review: Lethal Ride (Demonica #8)
The story of Death and his fight to save his unborn child was my favorite of the series. I loved the conflict in this story, both between him and the mother of the child as well as between him and his conscience — for he had to decide to kill his own brother to save […]
Book Review: Immortal Rider
The second horseman of the apocalypse is Limos, better known as Famine. She’s also betrothed to Satan. And she doesn’t like it. When Arik kisses her, he gets sent to hell to be tortured. This is the second book in the the Lords of Deliverance branch of the Demonica series, and I didn’t like it […]
Book Review: Eternal Rider
In this book we branch away from the Demonica books into the stories of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. They’re not evil really, not unless their seals are broken. Unfortunately, Pestilence’s has. Now his brothers and sister need to stop him from destroying the world. This is the story of Aries, whose seal ends […]
Book Review: Sin Undone
Though I continue to enjoy this series for all the reasons I’ve been saying — a fast pace, an intriguing world, suspenseful plots, etc. — I have to confess that Sin has been my least favorite heroine so far. She’s prickly. I’m not a fan of prickliness, and I almost always have trouble buying that […]
