Review: Deadly Obsession by Katie Reus
Deadly Obsession by Katie Reus Romantic Suspense August 15, 2011 E-Book Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi I love reading romantic suspense stories that have a really creepy villain.

But when you have a villain this nasty, the hero and heroine have to act accordingly, and this is where the majority of my problems with Deadly Obsession Continue Reading

Review and Giveaway: Aftermath by Ann Aguirre
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
