Jayne Castle is aka Jayne Ann Krentz and Amanda Quick. I had read Jayne Ann Krentz before, had even read one or two of her Arcane Society books, but I am far from current.

Review: One Grave at a Time by Jeaniene Frost
One Grave at a Time by Jeaniene Frost (Night Huntress #6) Paranormal Romance August 30, 2011 Paperback Avon Reviewed by Mandi One Grave at a Time is book six in one of my favorite paranormal series. What I love is that Jeaniene Frost has given us a series where the hero and heroine has had a very strong relationship since book one. Okay, maybe they had some time apart between book one and book two (four years, but who is counting?) but for the most part these two have been a Continue Reading

Review: The Yearning by Tina Donahue
The Yearning by Tina Donahue December 14, 2010 Erotic Paranormal Romance E-Book Samhain Reviewed by Mandi This is one crazy book. The beginning made my eyeballs pop out of my head. The middle is written pretty well, and the end was kind of a let down. I’m not even sure why I continued past the 25% mark, except for the fact that the first epic sex scene in this book is so off the wall, crazy that it amused me. (It definitely didn’t make me lust after any of the Continue Reading
