Dead by Midnight is a treat for Pamela Clare fans. (If you are not yet a fan, this book can be read as a stand alone book). All of our favorite couples are in the same building when....you guessed it...terrorists take an entire party hostage. Stupid terrorists. The I-Team is attending the party.
Lots of tense, exciting moments and our I-Team alpha males are at their best. Kudos to Holly who is so incredibly badass.
Oh, and the love scenes are smoking hot, too.
Seriously, if you are a fan of romantic suspense and you have not yet started this series, what are you waiting for?

Then read the series in order and come back to this one last. No, I am not messing with you OCD-must-read-it-in-order types, it's just that The Turn will mean so much more to you.
The Turn is set before the events of The Hollows series. It describes exactly why tomatoes are the villains (no, nothing like Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, but it could be....). We meet some of our Hollows favorites, some new characters, and there are a few interesting cameos.
It's a fascinating story that Hollows fans will eat up. Please pass the ketchup!

BUT - I am a big fan of Ms. Spear's wolves and I enjoy her storytelling skills.
My Review:
I'm sure that many of you paranormal romance readers have dreamed of being swept away by a billionaire (he he - what are the chances?). Terry Spear's new book Billionaire in Wolf's Clothing has our lead character Jade being swept away by billionaire wolf Rafe. So be warned - if you don't like the trope, this book isn't for you.
This book is a perfect summer read by the pool kind of book. It's light, fluffy, and there's a lovely little happily ever after. I enjoyed the progression of the romance and I adored Rafe. I also loved the supporting cast of characters that surrounded Rafe. And Toby - what a cutie.
I also have to give the book cover an A+. Nice job on that. I've said it before - Terry Spear writes great wolf stories - humorous, sexy, and fun.

Wild Embrace is a collection of 4 novellas set in the Psy-Changeling world. I enjoyed the book, however it did take me a lot longer to read than otherWild Embrace is a collection of 4 novellas set in the Psy-Changeling world. I enjoyed the book, however it did take me a lot longer to read than other Nalini Singh books. Perhaps it could be said that I was savoring the stories. My personal favorite was the first story Echo of Silence which had a human/Psy pairing. I really loved Stefan and Tazia - they were perfect for each other. I also liked how the author touched upon Tazia's culture and how important her family and background were to that character. The other story that stuck with me was Flirtation of Fate with Garnet and Kenji as the main couple. I liked how Garnet and Kenji had to work together to solve a murder mystery as they worked out their very complicated relationship. All in all, a good read and perfect for people who just can't get enough of Nalini Singh's Psy-Changeling series.

I'm glad that I had the opportunity to read the entire series during Bookshelf Bingo - I've been meaning to do so for ages. For those not familiar with the series, it kind of has that Twilight vibe at the beginning of the series but then it takes off on it's own with aliens, hybrids, secret government plots, and nasty villains. Lots of mayhem and destruction and a very possessive alpha male or two. Suspend belief and enjoy the ride.

I'm not sure if it was just my mood when I read this book or if it just didn't grab my attention like the earlier books in the About 2.5 - 3.0 stars.
I'm not sure if it was just my mood when I read this book or if it just didn't grab my attention like the earlier books in the series. Allegiance of Honor was not a bad book; it just felt as if nothing substantial really happens. Instead, we are treated to a lot of happily ever afters of some of our favorite couples from previous books. This is fine if you are an all out, no holds barred fan of the series however, I found it a little tedious at times.
Yes, it was very cute reading about all these tough alpha males going all squishy when the young ones were around. I had to groan when I read about the women's ovaries exploding when they watched their males being so gentle with the little folk. And yes, Naya was really cute. Unfortunately, that doesn't carry a book.
Has this series lost its lustre? I'm not really sure. There's still a few bad guys out there in the Psy/Changeling world that can cause some problems for our happily ever after. I just wish that they had more presence in this book.
Will I continue to read this series. Sure, why not. Ms. Singh is a talented storyteller and I want to know what happens next. Looking forward to the next book.

The Confessions by Tiffany Reisz is a very short book comprised of two confession sessions with Father Stuart Ballard and Soren and Eleanor. The rest The Confessions by Tiffany Reisz is a very short book comprised of two confession sessions with Father Stuart Ballard and Soren and Eleanor. The rest of the book is an informative Q & A with the author. This book is geared towards fans of the Original Sinners series and contains a few spoilers, so if you have not yet read the books, you should read them in order.
Part 1 is a confession session with Father Stuart Ballard and Soren (Marcus). Soren is 29 and is describing his attraction to Eleanor to Father Stuart. They discuss the implications of a relationship with Eleanor who at the time was only 16. What I enjoyed about this was the fact that Father Stuart was so understanding and open, even when Soren describes how outrageous Eleanor could be. I enjoyed the banter between the two men.
Part 2 takes place about 20 or so years later. Father Stuart, now 81 years old, is listening to Eleanor's confession, which is quite entertaining if not a little shocking. I was struck by the amount of time Eleanor spoke about Grace. I know that a lot of people dislike Grace immensely, however I am one of her fans and I enjoyed this part. Eleanor has a few regrets and it's nice to get that perspective on her life.
Part 3 is a an informative Q & A about the series. It helps fill in some information about the characters.

This was a fun little novella that focused on Pia and Dragos. After reading most of the books in the Elder Races series, I must admit that Pia and DraThis was a fun little novella that focused on Pia and Dragos. After reading most of the books in the Elder Races series, I must admit that Pia and Dragos are my favorite couple. They are an unlikely match - Dragos is a big, overbearing, powerful dragon and Pia is a calming influence with a rare Wyr nature. In this installment, Pia is sent to Hollywood to spend a week with the Light Fae Queen per a diplomatic agreement.
There's a lot going on in this short novella (180 pages or thereabouts): 1. We get to see more of Pia and Dragos' happily ever after - they are very much in love and can't keep their hands off each other. Oftentimes when you read a series there is only a brief mention of previous couples. Not here.
2. We learn a bit more about the rivalry between the Elder Races, namely between the Fae.
3. There is a threat to all of the Elder Races and those with magical powers.
This is a must read for Elder Races fans. While the Elder Races series is best read in order, this short novella can be read as a stand alone, just to get a taste of the author's writing.

Dragos Goes to Washington is definitely for people who just can't get enough of Dragos About 3.5 stars, rounded up to 4.
Oh, Dragos, you sexy thing....
Dragos Goes to Washington is definitely for people who just can't get enough of Dragos and Pia. It's hot and steamy with lots of pow (you need to read the book for that one). Dragos is the Ultimate Alpha Male, especially when he is in a mating frenzy. Of course there is that pesky trip to Washington, where the Elder Races are supposed to do a little face time with the humans.
One of the nice things about this book is that we get to see Liam for a short time. I also loved Pia and Dragos together. While Dragos is a little too possessive for my tastes, I can see the appeal.
There are 3 short novellas planned for the next few months. They are Dragos Goes to Washington, Pia Does Hollywood, and Liam Takes Manhattan. I felt that this book could be read on its own just to get a taste for the author's writing style. Of course, the series is best enjoyed when read in order.

The second part of the book dragged a bit. I am still invested in the series and am eagerly awaiting the next book.
The Review: Pure Blooded is the fifth installment in Amanda Carlson's Jessica MacClain series. This book continues the ongoing adventures of Jessica MacClain, a female werewolf and her pack. This is by no means your regular werewolf tale (no pun intended!) - Jessica is a special werewolf and in this book we learn more about her abilities.
What makes this series special is the combination of supernatural beings who work together. Jessica's pack includes witches, a vampire, even a reaper. The antagonists are also quite a challenge for Jessica and her friends. I was also very happy to see that Jessica got some time with Rourke, even though it never seems to be enough one on one time.
Pure Blooded is a solid installment in the series. While I enjoyed the book, I felt that while it resolved a big problem for Jessica about halfway through, the second half of the book lagged a little. Despite my small criticism, Pure Blooded was action packed and kept me on the edge of my seat.
I can't wait to read more.
The Jessica MacClain series is best read in order, starting with Full Blooded.
