What an absurd analogy.” “Indeed. And just look how well things turned out for her in the end.” George’s face filled with Continue Reading
Review: Supernatural Anthology
Supernatural Anthology with Larissa Ione, Alexandra Ivy, Jacquelyn Frank, G.A Aiken August 30, 2011 Paranormal Romance Paperback Zebra Reviewed by Helyce I am not a fan of the ‘anthology’ but I am guilty of purchasing many of them simply because there is one author within who I must read no matter what. However, more often than naught I am a bit disappointed in the short story because an author can only do so much with 100 to 150 pages and I always feel that something was lacking Continue Reading

Aftermath by Ann Aguirre (Sirantha Jax #5) Sci-Fi August 30, 2011 Paperback Ace I’ve probably said this in every Sirantha Jax review I’ve written, but I’ll say it again. I don’t read a lot of Sci-Fi. The thought of Sci-Fi just doesn't appeal to me. It’s like one step too far past paranormal and I don’t have interest. But long ago, someone recommended Grimspace by Ann Aguirre, and I picked it up. And I loved it. I can’t help but to compare Sirantha Jax to Kate Daniels (from Ilona Andrews Continue Reading
