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

10. It’s August! School starts this month. Not until the 30th but hey, who’s counting? ME. It’s hot, humid and I’ve eaten one too many of my mother’s salted caramel cupcakes (which are OMG amazing and I need to get the recipe from her and share it with you). 9. Okay folks, take a deep breath. Let’s all hold hands and gather around. The news: Ilona Andrews announced on their blog yesterday that there will not be another Kate Daniels book until 2013. Let’s have a collective SNIFFLE. Kate Continue Reading
Tori’s Top Ten for Friday
10.

Smexy’s Top Ten–November 5th
10. My week – Hubs was in Vegas all week – I know, so unfair. I did sweat a bit because my “boyfriend” Brandon Flowers lives in Vegas. Can’t have the two of them running into each other. And hubs doesn’t act so kindly when I suggest he do a little stalking for me. Oh hubs. And yes, the hot tub is still in our driveway. I don’t even notice it anymore. Sad. 9. Cover Alert!

Urban Fantasy and the Happily Ever After
The more I read, the more I can’t help but be drawn to urban fantasy titles. Don’t get me wrong, I still love my romance. I get very excited for releases from JR Ward, Nalini Singh, Victoria Dahl, Larissa Ione and Jennifer Ashley (just to name a few). But currently, urban fantasy is the genre that is exciting me for many reasons. The books are usually darker, more violent, and a big reason it attracts me is the uncertain HEA (happily ever after). Just this week I read Unholy Ghosts and Unholy Continue Reading

Crossroads by Moira Rogers – Paranormal romance at its best. Read book one, Crux first to get the full experience. Continue Reading
