Review:Another, most awesome instalment from Jeaniene Frost's , `Night Huntress' series.
Oh the quotes that I can't put up, hehe!
Ms. Frost certainly had me feeling a tad upset whilst reading this book with Bones getting so upset with his Kitten. Be still my heart. I was looking over Cat's shoulder when she was looking at the Satellite footage and I was holding my breath, inwardly crying, `noooOOoo'.
There was a bit of corker biffo going on between Cat and Bones and the verbals....... Read more
Review:Not happy with the excerpt from the third book thrown in right at the end of this one BEFORE the epilogue. I want to read the second book without knowing anything about the third. Ugh! Other than that, the book was great!! Loved the circus act element! Loved Vlad. Loved the feel of the story. This is exactly how I like my vampire stories! Similar almost to Sookie stackhouse but still quite different. Read more
Review:In this book,there are two shorts. The first by Sands is fairly typical of her work. The plot is straightforward and the romance is cute. The second story is worth the price of admission. It's a short in Frost's Night Hintress series. Like the other Bones and Cat stories, it is fast paced, creative, and takes a few unexpected turns. If you have not read this series, this short will have you itching to start at the beginning. Read more
Review:Charlaine Harris produces stylish well written books that provide the reader with can't put down mysteries. In book one of the Shakespeare series the heroine is Lily Bard. Once again Charlaine has created a character who is easy to like, sympathise with and cheer for. Thank you Ms Harris, long may you continue to bring happiness to your devoted readers. Read more
Review:Good start to the novel - kind of bad conclusion.
I got the book because I went through a Charlaine Harris phase where I bought everything by her - I fell in love with Sookie and decided to give every other story a chance. Some I loved, others fell kind of short regarding my expectations for them.
This was one of the latter.
The premise is promising, and although the novel has a fast pace that makes it enjoyable, characters are somewhat one-dimensional, and the resolution to the conflic... Read more
Review:Shakespeare's Christmas by Charlaine Harris was released in 1998. A wonderfully written murder mystery with heart. Lily andf Jack are a great pair investigating all the crimes. Fans of Charlaine Harris will like this the most. Read more
Review:I certainly hope this type of writing is not the wave of the future. The advertising as a Lee Child book is misleading at best and fuaudulent at worst. As it is written by different authors it is fragmented and choppy. I feel Amazon misrepresented it and over charged for it. I rarely quit a book without finishing it but I probably will this one. I am disgusted by the whole experience and feel I have been ripped off by Amazon and Lee Child. Read more
Review:For a 'cozy' type of mysteries - that is a subjective description - Diane Mott Davidson is the absolute best. Stacking these up next to Goldy Bear, really cannot be fairly done.
That being said, these books were enjoyable. The setting is likable and draws you in, the supporting characters all fit nicely into the series. The plots and crimes are edgier than a typical cozy, (than Davidson, Fluke, Sefton), but not as graphic as a full blown thriller. The biggest problem I have is with the ma... Read more
Review:I read all the Sookie Stackhouse novels, and adored them. After I rapidly read through all of those books, I decided I'd go in a different direction for a while. you know, try not being hooked on Charlaine Harris or even a series in general. It didn't last long. After Sookie, there was a serious void. Nothing I read could compare to Harris-nothing! Maybe because I'm a Southern female, maybe because I enjoy paranormal novels, maybe because I just like the way she creates characters...whatever the... Read more
Review:This book should be made into a movie!! These people in the story became so real to me. It was just heart wrenching to read about their trials they went through! And how strong they were! I highly recommend this book! Read more
