Recently at the local bookstore, a new paranormal romance author caught my eye. With many new authors in the genre and so many tried and true authors, it is difficult to sometimes pick up someone new. I am glad I did. Ravenous, the first in this new, unique series begins with Holly, a mediocre witch, [...]

I was excited to learn that Gena Showalter was releasing another installment of her Atlantis series. Most interestingly, this story was about the villain in most of the other books: Layel, the vampire king. Layel is still living 200 years in the past where dragons kidnapped his wife and killed her. Never getting over the [...]

Maverick is the second installment in the Elite Ops series, a spin off of the Navy SEAL books. I do not read much contemporary romance but I always make an exception for Lora Leigh. Even for those readers who shun romance, I think you should give Lora Leigh a try. Why? Take for example Maverick. [...]

This book has been sitting on my “to be read” shelf for months but I moved it up before other “must read now” books because some fellow readers wanted to discuss the next book in the Demonica series. I wish I would have picked it up sooner! The Demonica series starts with Pleasure Unbound and [...]
