Review: Shift by Rachel Vincent
Shift by Rachel Vincent March 1, 2010 Urban Fantasy Paperback, 441 Pages Mira Reviewed by Amanda I've never read anything by Rachel Vincent before but I have heard great things about her writing and her Faythe Saunders series. Its a series I've always wanted to pick up but with the ever growing TBR pile that I have it's another series that I have yet to get to. It might seem odd then to start the series at book 5, but the books can be read as a stand alones so you don't need to have Continue Reading

Angelology by Danielle Trussoni March 9, 2010 Urban FantasyHardback, 452 Pages Viking Adult Reviewed by Amanda You may or may not have heard/read/seen the hype surrounding this book. It has already been tipped to be a best seller by the media. Reading the back cover blurb I was really excited to get the chance to read this book before the release date.

Review: Twice Dead by Kalayna Price
Kita is adjusting to her new liquid diet--an adjustment she rather resents. Not that everything was chocolate and sunshine before (though both were possible before the sexy but infuriating Nathanial sank his fangs in her business). Kita's ability to shape shift into a kitten when her peers shifted into lions and tigers complicated her life, to say the least, but getting stuck in one form--that of a human shaped tick, a.k.a. a vampire--sucks, literally. Her adjustment period is violently Continue Reading
Review: Battle of the Network Zombies by Mark Henry and Giveaway
In Seattle's undead circles, Amanda Feral is one of the beautiful zombies. Of course, when you're socializing with werewolves, devils, and rampaging yetis, there's not that much competition.

The fastest way to make some cash: appear on a new reality show, American Minions, hosted by lecherous wood nymph Johnny Birch. Classy? Maybe not, but a girl's gotta eat. With Continue Reading
