Review:In London, the parents, friends, clan and servants of Prudence suffer from the wrath of the terrible two's. Making matters more difficult for others the toddler can "borrow" the supernatural powers of people by touching them until her soulless mom releases the stolen skills. That is why her parents, Alpha of the Woolsey werewolf clan Lord Conall and Lady Alexia, use mostly drones as servants as well as their friend vampire Lord Akeldama, who actually adopted the baby to help. Still the doting... Read more

Review:This book was an absolute delight. I picked it up in passing at the library, finished it in a few days and had to go out and buy it and the 2nd one!! Marta Acosta is definitely an author you can sink your teeth into...no pun intended. Not your average "vampire romance" story, Mrs. Acosta takes the known vampire cliches and twists them into a more believable tale. Her character development is phenomenal. You really feel as if you are getting to know these people personally. From the busty, beauti... Read more

Review:Sophronia is a strong heroine in a vivid world. I enjoyed the pacing and characterization of this whole book. There are many cute devices such as Mechanimals and robotic butlers that make me smile. At times, the tone is definitely YA, and as a person who found Gail Carriger's work through her adult work, I found that distracting. But, E&E is a good book and I would recommend it to a friend and I am planning to read the sequel. Read more

Review:Great series ....but I was really sad that the author felt inclined to add a part where the girls discuss seeing men without clothes & though the description is not one that would encourage interest, it was just on the edge of salaciousness & cheapened what otherwise was perfection. It seems that you can't have a book where the characters show growth towards adulthood without some sort of inappropriate "coming of age" discussion somewhere....always seems a bit lazy to me, as well as dist...

Review:First, Gail Carriger can write. No, I mean, really write. In an era when anyone who can turn on a computer fancies himself or herself a writer, she's the real deal. Secondly, she has an amazingly inventive imagination. And third, she's hilarious! This is the best book in the series yet; which is saying something, as the others are also not to be missed.

Review:I found this book a little disappointing compared to the Soulless .

All the wonderful Carringer things like tea and corsets. But the brilliant humor is totally missing.
Where is the Oscar wild dry wit? Read more

Review:The plot moves excruciatingly slowly and McMaster is one of those authors who likes to keep the reader in the dark, both as far as the characters go and in terms of world building. I admit I'm not a huge fan of steampunk - the restrictions of 19th-century England and the freedom of sci-fi fantasy just seem too antithetical to me to work - but this book has such rave reviews that I thought I should try it. But nope, the poor, yet virginal heroine, who just does not want to give into her passion ... Read more

Review:This is a pretty solid sequel to the Parasol books. The strained nature of the relationship between Prudence and Alexia was sad, since they seem pretty amiable in Timeless, and Pru isn't as interesting of a character as Alexia, but still a very enjoyable read. Read more

Review:I've enjoyed Major Channing since he first had the nerve to insult Alexia. I kept waiting for the right woman to stand up to him and, lo and behold, Faith is just such a woman! I loved reading their story and hope to hear more about Teddy, too! She's a pip! Read more
