Ghost Ship by Sharon Lee My rating: 5 of 5 stars Theo Waitley has met her father’s Clan and been Seen by the Delm of Korval now, at the end of both I Dare and Saltation. She does not, however, consider herself of Korval — she is a Waitley, as is reasonable for a young woman […]
Book Review: Saltation by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller
Saltation (Theo Waitley, #2) by Sharon Lee My rating: 5 of 5 stars Saltation (Theo Waitley, #2) is good enough that I finished Fledgling (Theo Waitley, #1), then read it in one sitting. It simply has the sort of momentum that doesn’t allow for good stopping points — something that is true of many of the […]
Review: Fledgling by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller
Fledgling (Theo Waitley, #1) by Sharon Lee My rating: 4 of 5 stars I half-listened to part of this book as Sam Chupp podcast it, chapter by chapter. For some reason, it just didn’t catch my fancy back then. I think I didn’t let it catch my fancy, because of knowing that I would have to […]
Book Review: Thirteen by Kelley Armstrong
Thirteen by Kelley Armstrong My rating: 5 of 5 stars Well, Armstrong definitely closed the series with a bang. I enjoyed this volume so much that I’m tempted to go back and re-read the entire series just to have more right now. All the characters we’ve gotten to know are back: Clay, Elena, Jaime, Jeremy, Hope, Karl, […]
Book Review: Mouse and Dragon by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller
Mouse and Dragon by Sharon Lee My rating: 4 of 5 stars I’m so pleased that Lee and Miller decided to give us the story of Daav and Aelliana after Pilots Choice. (Earlier they had claimed that there was nothing to tell there.) The story is a lovely one, definitely romantic, told almost entirely from Aelliana’s point […]
Book Review: Enthralled edited by Melissa Marr and Kelley Armstrong
Enthralled by Melissa Marr My rating: 3 of 5 stars Journeys, literal or otherwise, are the theme of this young adult anthology. Appropriately enough, it was conceived as the result of a book tour. “Giovanni’s Farewell” by Claudia Gray is a sweet, coming-of-age story of sorts. The twist is that it features a brother and sister, twins, rather […]
Review: Hunt the Moon by Karen Chance
Hunt the Moon by Karen Chance My rating: 3 of 5 stars Chance must have thought readers were bored with the Cassandra/Mircea match because much of this book is spent with Cassie falling for Pritkin without really being aware that she’s getting into dangerous territory. Palmer isn’t one of my favorite characters. She isn’t an ass-kicker, […]
Review: Spellbound by Kelley Armstrong
Spell Bound by Kelley Armstrong My rating: 4 of 5 stars Waking the Witch and Spell Bound should truly be read back to back. In fact, they should be read with 13 on hand, almost as a trilogy within the series. At the end of Waking the Witch, Savannah silently thought that if it would reunite […]
Review: Aftermath by Ann Aguirre
Aftermath by Ann Aguirre My rating: 4 of 5 stars Leave it to Aguirre to take her heroine in a direction that is apparently pissing off at least half of her readers (those who expected romance). Sirantha Jax is in fine form in Aftermath, staying strong and true to herself through an all-new set of trials […]
Review: Killbox by Ann Aguirre
Killbox by Ann Aguirre My rating: 5 of 5 stars Killbox won’t make any sense without reading the previous three books, and I honestly feel that I should have gone back and re-read them before starting it. I was impatient for more fresh Aguirre after finishing Shady Lady, though, and Killbox is what I had on […]
