The first thing you should know is the worldbuilding in Silver Under Nightfall is quite unique for a genre that is full almost to bursting with scary and even sexy men with teeth. This book reads like a regency historical polyam romance with horror and fantasy elements. Lots of Continue Reading

The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy by Megan BannenFantasyAugust 23, 2022 by Orbit BooksARC Review by: Melinda This book was such an incredible and weird delight to read, I loved it so much.

The two hate each other from their very first meeting, which was a complete disaster. They both are intensely lonely and end up writing Continue Reading

Review: Married with Zombies by Jesse Petersen
Married With Zombies by Jesse Petersen September 1, 2010 Urban Fantasy Paperback, 241 Pages Orbit Reviewed by Mandi I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – I like zombie books so when I saw this available at BookExpo America, I picked it up right away. Many don’t share my opinion – or at least don’t like it when the hero or heroine is a zombie. I mean, if vital parts fall off, the romance is kind of over, yes? But Married With Zombies gives us two very mortal protagonists Continue Reading
