Cast in Deception (The Chronicles of Elantra)
Cast in Deception (The Chronicles of Elantra)

Review:If you are looking for action, look elsewhere. This is full of talk, talk, talk. Yet barely moved the plot forward. All could have been done in half the pages. If you enjoyed her early books this will disappoint. Read more

Dreams Made Flesh (Black Jewels, Book 5)
Dreams Made Flesh (Black Jewels, Book 5)

Review:This book contains three different stories. The first story explains how Daemonar and Marian, (Lucivar's son and wife) were involved in his life and their appearance in the Main First three books.
The second story reveals more about Saetan and his past which is interesting. It also reveals what Zuulumaan is and why he refused to tell his son, Lucivar, telling him to ask Andulvar. Zuulumaan helps fill in the gap in which Lucivar asks for the story of Zuulumaan in exchange for helping Karla thr... Read more

Murder of Crows (A Novel of the Others Book 2)
Murder of Crows (A Novel of the Others Book 2)

Review:This world is unique and fascinating. The characters live, breathe and evolve for you. I own a library of books and this author is refreshing. I'm so delighted to find this world she's created. You need to get through at least two books to find the rhythm and pace, which I find delightful because too many authors write in a way that screams template. That said, the first book was a breath of fresh air and the second just built on everything. Hmmm more please! Read one and interest is there, read... Read more

Twilight's Dawn (The Black Jewels Trilogy Book 9)
Twilight's Dawn (The Black Jewels Trilogy Book 9)

Review:This book is going to get mixed reviews no matter what!! No one likes to see the main characters you've grown to like over the years just come to such a human end - death.

But Bishoop does it while keeping true to each character's form, while still leaving a quite dignity to those left behind to move on and continue to grow and hopefully have more stories to tell.

If you've been a fan of the black jewel series - this book provides you with some closure and while some people might ... Read more

Heir to the Shadows (Black Jewels, Book 2)
Heir to the Shadows (Black Jewels, Book 2)

Review:Anne Bishop is a modern cross between Virginia Woolf and Margaret Mead. She explores the bonds between men and women in an alternate universe where men serve and women rule as nurturers to maintain a balance of power between the sexes. This trilogy is a brilliant study in cultural anthropology and of the different forms of good and evil cloaked in a riveting story. Read more

Lake Silence (World of the Others, The)
Lake Silence (World of the Others, The)

Review:Oh man,life just got more interesting . I love this story set in the world of the Others. It talks about Vicki and how she and the people around her deal with the interest the Others have in humans and their inability to be honest in business. Always trying to get something for nothing .

The Invisible Ring (Black Jewels, Book 4)

Review:Anne Bishop strikes again in the land of the Black Jewels, and the plot only gets better!!!Jared is the world's perfect, overprotective male falling for... an old lady? Kidding! It scared me when I first read that part, too. But the book is NOT about an old lady, just a really young, naivete one! ^.^She rocks, he rocks, the twisting, mysterious plot of who dun it makes for a EXCELLENTE read!!! I've read it thrice already and plan on doing so again!!! Read more

The Shadow Queen (Black Jewels)
The Shadow Queen (Black Jewels)

Review:I have to wonder what happened to the Janelle and Daemon that I loved from The Black Jewels trilogy. The characters in these latest books are flat and boring. I wish Anne Bishop would leave the boring marital lives of Janelle and Daemon out of books about other characters. Cassidy's story was intriguing and heart felt. Things were just starting to heat up towards the end and then...it's over. I hope there are more books in this series about Cassidy. I wouldn't call this Black Jewels book 7. To m... Read more

Marked In Flesh (A Novel of the Others)
Marked In Flesh (A Novel of the Others)

Review:Continuing the 'fish out of water' tale, the now freed blood prophet Meg Corban, explores the similar but strange world of sentient animals, the 'Terra Indigene '. Blending the comical confusion of human personal interaction, we experience an outsiders view of our world from the viewpoint of Meg, & the Local animals(Terra Indigene). I especially love the relationship from Sam, the emotionally damaged orphan wolf pup, his Uncle Simon Wolfguard, & 'The Meg'. Read this book, you laugh &... Read more
