The Conspiracy of Us
The Conspiracy of Us

Review:The Conspiracy of Us does not mess around. This book grabbed me from the first chapter and did not let go until I turned the last page. And trust me, I turned the last page a couple of times, hoping another chapter would magically appear so that it didn't have to be over. Action, romance, glamorous adventures to far-off lands, The Conspiracy of Us has everything I want in my escapist literature. And it's not just explosions and ball-gowns. There's a lot of heart, too. The main character, Avery, ... Read more

Review:My family is reading this series aloud before bed every night. The stories are wonderful and the characters are much more rich and complex than those on screen, which is a shame for the latter. That said, I highly recommend this series to anyone with even a passing interest.

Cheers,

Pandora: New Tales of the Vampires

Review:This is Bruce P. Grether's review, though my partner's name appears on my reviews here for reasons known only to the Amazon software!

When the astonishing, elegant, and relentless Anne Rice published THE WOLF GIFT earlier this year, I was transported, as always by her remarkable prose. The new Man Wolf Saga (she tells us the next one comes in 2013) whetted my appetite to return to her magnificent Vampires.

Only where to enter?

PANDORA has become my new entry point. She appea... Read more
