Stygian’s Honor by Lora Leigh (Breeds #27) Paranormal Romance August 7, 2012 Berkley Reviewed by Helyce If you’re thinking that’s a typo up there, it isn’t. This is in fact book number 27 in Lora Leigh’s Breed series, and I have read each and every one and almost all of the short stories that have appeared in anthologies over the years. I picked up Coyote’s Mate (#18) when it came out in 2009 and loved it. It had the perfect mix of science fiction infused into the paranormal aspect Continue Reading

Why the Dark Soul Series Is our New Crack
Mandi: When I read Tori’s weekly wrap-up last week, I noticed she was going to start the Dark Soul series by Aleksandr Voinov. I’ve been wanting to try something by him (although I think I read a previous novella by him) so I decided to grab book one and see what it was all about. Whoa. It’s dark, intense, has some extremely uncomfortable sexual situations, and is completely addictive. I really enjoyed it and could not put my Kindle down. The series consists of five novellas, each 50-75 pages Continue Reading

Interview with Beth Kery
Who is Beth Kery? Give us the low down. I’m a longtime reader who just thought—for some random reason—I could write romance novels. I actually have another profession besides author. I’m a longtime urbanite, and love the city, museums, the theatre and diversity. I really do love art, which is why you see artists popping up in my books a lot. I’m living vicariously, as even my stick figures are indecipherable. I also grew up a small town girl, however, so you often get a blend of city and small Continue Reading
