Review:To create fascinating conflict on many levels, maintain a future interest in the series as well as tell a darn outstanding story is a remarkable accomplishment. This author is superior in plotting, character, setting and--holy cow!!!--terrific sensuality. This book pulls you in and just when you think it's another typical paranormal--whammy!--a great plot twist or character spin. My only caution is it's not really a stand alone book in the series because there is a lot of world building and r... Read more
Review:Tortured brooding breed male on the hunt for Counsel conspirators moves in next door to plucky female with Breed sympathies. Some cute moments in the beginning when she rails at him for cutting his lawn wrong, and he is attractively vulnerable while longing for her baked goods, soon descend into routine sex and violence.
In order to fit this Breeds story into a novella length, Leigh surgically removed most of the story and all of the character development. I am not a stickler. The Breed... Read more
Review:The world of October Day may be fictional, but October and her friends live and breath, and so are capable of making us think and making us feel.
October has always been a crusader for justice and protector of children. But as this series evolves she has moved from disenfranchised and broken-hearted to empowered.
A meeting of the Faye is called to discuss the cure for elf shot, which causes pure blood Faye to sleep for 100 years. In those with some human blood it brings death. A cu... Read more
Review:ARC provided by Tor in exchange for an honest review.
This book is beyond words. No amount of word combinations I could possibly string together could do this book justice. This series is truly a gift from above, and I can't urge you enough to drop any and everything you're reading to pick up this or Every Heart a Doorway.
I didn't think it would be possible, but I actually enjoyed Down Among the Sticks and Bones more than Every Heart a Doorway. Once I turned that last page, I imme... Read more

Review:I've read a number of books regarding the end of times with them most being about EMP's being the reason. But this book is about an another all to close reason that could very well happen also. I only gave it four stars because I just did not understand how a Dad could act the way Chris did to his son. Other then that I was taken in by this book. I can not say I enjoyed reading it because it is a topic that is not joyful but worth reading anyway. Read more
Review:After reading the reviews of this book I was afraid of it being too dark and morbid. I found the book to be entertaining and in someways, philosophical. Mark Lawrence is a great story teller and understands the value of moving the plot forward. An enjoyable book. Read more
Review:So, what a good way to end the series.
Firstly, structurally I feel this was a much better flowing book than the second one, which seemed to be all over the place. Narratively, the same, until near the end. Jorg was the evil creature we would expect, I particularly liked the way he dealt with his foes on the road to the capital. If you enjoyed the first two books, you will definitely enjoy this, though you might find the last few chapters a bit lacking Read more
Review:I knew how much Dan Wells' I am Not a Serial Killer had impressed me when the first thing I did after finishing it was to open the Kindle Store on my device and--without bothering to look at the synopsis or review of Mr. Monster--order the next book in the John Wayne Cleaver series. I'm not an impulse buyer, and to be quite honest I spend most of my shopping time browsing the "free books" section at Kindle. But this time, there was no hesitation.
I am Not a Serial Killer is a tremendous r... Read more
Review:Dan Wells has done it again with Mr. Monster. It is a thrilling and chilling follow up to I Am Not a Serial Killer. It was shocking and full of surprises. It had many great plot twists and it kept me on the edge of my seat through the whole book. I highly recommend this book, as well as anything by Mr. Wells. He truly has a gift for the macabre and weird. John Cleaver is an interesting and original character in a world where those are hard to come by. Wells sells the voice of this teenage sociop...
