Shift by Rachel Vincent My rating: 3 of 5 stars I’m left with little to say that won’t be a spoiler other than, “Dangit, why can’t more authors work in some polyamory instead of using the same old jealousy-based plots?” Because…
Book Review: Grave Secret by Charlaine Harris
Grave Secret by Charlaine Harris My rating: 3 of 5 stars I’d say that wraps it up for this series. No, I won’t tell you why I’m saying that, or it’ll ruin the book for you.
Review: Fantasy in Death by J.D. Robb
Fantasy in Death by J.D. Robb My rating: 4 of 5 stars Fantasy in Death is an interesting take on the death-by-gaming plot that has previously been done by a couple of fantasy and science fiction authors, most notably in Niven…
Book Review: Night’s Edge
Night’s Edge by Maggie Shayne My rating: 4 of 5 stars “Dancers in the Dark” by Charlaine Harris is set in the same universe as the Southern Vampire/Sookie Stackhouse stories, but with none of the incredibly annoying characters. How refreshing!

By Blood We Live by John Joseph Adams My rating: 4 of 5 stars This thing is an enormous tome! I don’t know if it has been released in hardback or not, but if it has, that version has to be…
Review: A Free Man of Color
A Free Man of Color by Barbara Hambly My rating: 4 of 5 stars Historical fiction isn’t my favorite genre, but I’m much more willing to read it when it’s mixed with mystery. I’ve read some of Hambly’s work before and…
I’m Feeling Better!
(I think I’ve already used “Not Dead Yet” as a title, and I really don’t like to be too repetitive.) I haven’t been posting much, and it isn’t really because I haven’t had anything at all to say. In fact,…
