Mindhealer by Lilith Saintcrow My review rating: 3 of 5 starsI’m actually reviewing all five of the Watcher books. They’re quite short—novella length, really—and very much interrelated (especially the first four). I read all of them in about a day…
Review: Night Child by Jes Battis
Night Child by Jes Battis My review rating: 4 of 5 starsI really enjoyed this book, and hope Battis returns to this world. His prose is lyrical, engaging—a major departure from most of the urban fantasy genre. There were a…
Review: In Legend Born by Laura Resnick
In Legend Born by Laura Resnick My review rating: 3 of 5 starsWell-written high fantasy, but honestly, it just went on too long. So far, everybody has lost someone important. Anybody who loves anyone seems to be doomed. Betrayals are…
Drama Circuits Still Overloaded
My real-life drama tolerance circuits were totally burned out with marriage v.3. I’m cool with that. I was able to handle much more of it in fiction, though I’m not big on whiney characters. I guess the Stephanie Meyer backlash…
Review: New Moon by Stephanie Meyer

Vampyres of Hollywood Review is Up
The review is more detailed than what I posted here. TCM is pretty cool if you’re willing to read new books by unproven authors and review them. Hope, you’d probably do really well with it–lots of them are eBooks, which…
What? Huh?
There was something specific I was going to post. I know it. I remember thinking, “Oh, yeah, I want to blog about that!” But I didn’t do it immediately and now, of course, it’s gone, gone, gone. Blah. So, instead,…
Review: Sunshine by Robin McKinley
Wow. That was a good book. It was a little hard for me to get into at the beginning. This excerpt is from the first chapter, and if you don’t feel as–jangled?–as I did, perhaps it’s just me. But I…
The Girl Is Better! And More Reading
That’s a relief. I was getting quite worried. She spent most of the weekend sleeping or looking like a zombie, eating only what Sam could coax into her, and using heating pads. I’m starting to think that we should accept…
