Review:This book was fun! Other reviewers have done a much better job than I could of explaining the story, but I will say it was so nice to read and be entertained without feeling like you're being lectured by the author. It's a unique blend of steampunk, Victorian romance and the werewolf/vampire theme; I didn't expect it to work, but thankfully it did. Sure there were a few spots where the pace felt a little off, but overall the book flowed very well. The main characters were engaging and the suppor... Read more
Review:Read this one, too (referring to the prior books in this series). You won't be sorry!
By now, we know the Maccons are going to find their way back to each other, but good story-telling is the means to the end. I love the unpredictable pathway of Miss Carriger. Very satisfying. Read more
Review:I was thoroughly entertained with Souless, the first book in Gail Carriger's series (The Parasol Protectorate) featuring Alexia Tarabotti and her oblivious romance with Lord Maccon, the alpha werewolf in London and head of werewolf/ghost/vampire investigations division. The humorous and zanny secondary characters were perfect for this lighthearted romance fare with a little mystery involved. I bought Changeless as soon as it was released and was disappointed.

Review:Excellent new series. I love the way the story started and made the main characters into real people right before your eyes. Interesting take on necromancy, great world-building, beautiful writing. I can definitely see this series going places! Read more
Review:This is truly refreshing and amusing series that takes the beloved Steampunk genre and spins it right on its head. I found myself unable to put it down, and do recommend every one of her well written books!

Review:I grew up in Asheville and have visited Biltmore Estate more times than I can count. Now that I live across the country, I was excited to have a little flashback to my childhood with an exciting story series that I can share with my children. Read more
Review:The entire series was amazing!! I loved it! All of the books are a must read, but thankfully, there are enough recaps in this book that if you had to wait months to read Ensnared(I finished reading the other books 8 months before reading this one), you would still understand what is going on in the story.

William and Cally promised to make their long distance relationship work however things turned out far different from planned. Cally breaks Williams heart leaving him with nothing but questions as to why she pushed everyone away. Cally mother dies and she returns to New Hope with her sisters making her dad step up to be the father he ne... Read more
Review:Although this author targets a late teen audience, this 72-year-old great grandmother thinks this author writes stories that have a far greater appeal. We all sin, and we all need redemption. Eagerly awaiting Tammy Gray's first book in her new series: Set Apart. Read more
Review:From broken souls to healed hearts and all the obstacles in their way. There was something for everyone. Drama, past mistakes and people who won't let Maggie forget or change. Misunderstandings and lies and so much misplaced blame. Good story with real flawed people who still manage to find love. Read more
