The best part about this engaging and energetic urban fantasy is the first person voice of the main character, a girl who discovers she has the ability to dispense justice in some very interesting ways. This is the third book in a row that I’ve read by an established author who decided to use a […]
“A silence settles over the house; the ticking of the grandfather clock is as loud as nails being pounded into the lid of a coffin.” Breed has been compared to Rosemary’s Baby, but I didn’t get that connection at all. If anything, it’s the opposite: innocent children are born to monstrous parents. It’s no secret […]
The concept of Incarnation is brilliant: what if Bram Stoker had written Dracula in order to cover up the fact that vampires actually exist, and the book was created for the sole purpose of throwing off the scrutiny of the public? And what if Lucy Westenra is a real vampire who finds out about the […]
“The snow diminished, but in its stead came a malicious little wind that drew claws across the back of his neck.” Often when I start reading a book, I have a pretty good idea of what to expect. But once in a while, I am surprised, and Something Red was one of the biggest and […]
Pale Horse is the third book in the Project Eden series, an exciting, edge-of-your-seat kind of story about biological warfare and what could happen if one powerful group of people decided to annihilate 99% of humanity by releasing a deadly flu virus into the population.

An Italian archeologist and a dreamy scholar from New York cross paths and go on a journey through time in this riveting novel by Terry Stanfill. Trying to describe Realms of Gold is hard because this intricate tale is filled with not only detailed descriptions of Greek and Italian artifacts and the people who created […]

Romantic and atmospheric, and with elements of witchcraft and Native American legend, Stealing Breath is an exciting story that was far too short for me, and ended leaving me wanting more. Brothwell’s writing flows nicely and the characters were completely engaging, and the dangerous situations that the characters found themselves in made for a compelling […]
I love being surprised, and this may be one of the most surprising books I’ve ever read. When I picked up The Devil in Silver, I was expecting a traditional horror story set in a mental institution. Technically that’s what this is, but not in the ways you might be thinking. The Devil in Silver […]
