Kin (Good Neighbors) Holly Black Once I found out that Holly Black was doing a graphic novel and it was similar to her Modern Faerie Tales series as in it centers on teens who get somehow involved with the faerie world, I wanted to read it. It's one of those books where I like the author but I...
Any Given Doomsday (The Phoenix Chronicles) Lori Handeland There are a lot of ARCs of this book floating around, so if you still don't have a copy and are interested, there are a couple of contests going on that I know of. 1) Lady Vampire's Lair has this book among a trio of books she's giving away...
The Sweet Scent of Blood (Spellcrackers) Suzanne McLeod I saw a post about this book on Urban Fantasy Land and I was very intruiged, but a bit frustrated because I didn't see it in a US book website at the time, only in Amazon UK. In the end I got it from thebookdepository.com but it looks like now...
Jinx (Bigtime) Jennifer Estep Jinx is the third book in this series which is a tongue-in-cheek take on comic books. If you've read the previous books: Karma Girl and Hot Mama, you know that Bigtime is a city full of superheroes and ubervillians, secret identities are sort of obvious, and yards of...
Cry Wolf (Anna and Charles, Book 1) Patricia Briggs I've been meaning to review this book and just holding off for no particular reason for a while now. Here goes. Cry Wolf is the first book in the start of a new urban fantasy series by Patricia Briggs, which is set in the same world as her Mercy...
Via things mean a lot - I found out that there is a free online short story in Holly Black's Tithe/ Valiant/ Ironside universe called "Going Ironside". It's very short and bittersweet, from the point of view of an exiled faerie, hitting hard times in the city. I didn't know about it so thought I...
Ironside: A Modern Faery's Tale Holly Black Ironside is the third (and final?) installment in the Faery Tale series by Holly Black. The first one, Tithe follows Kaye who is "not human and doesn't know it" as she discovers the faerie world and gets caught up in their politics. The second one; Valiant...
Hotter Than Hell I really need to catch up on my reviews - I actually read this book last month but didn't have the time to review it with all the "real life" stuff going on. The one thing that gets me with this book is how different it seems from the rest of the "In Hell" anthologies that came...
Nightwalker (Dark Days, Book 1) Jocelynn Drake I got this ARC of Nightwalker from EOS Books just last week and I already finished it. I love long weekends. The book came in unbound manuscript format so I walked over to Kinko's to bind it after I finished reading it. This was a trial. It was $2.66 to...
Urban Shaman (The Walker Papers, Book 1) C.E. Murphy I started the second of C.E. Murphy's series (the Negotiator trilogy) earlier this year, but her first book, Urban Shaman was on my TBR as well. I just read it, and I think I may actually like this series even more. Joanne Walker is a mechanic...
Once Upon Stilettos (Katie Chandler, Book 2) Shanna Swendson Once Upon Stilettos is the second book in the Katie Chandler series by Shanna Swendson. Katie is a nice Texas girl in New York City who discovers that she has a very rare ability - an immunity to magic. This means she can see through...
Wicked Game Jeri Smith-Ready I snagged the last copy of this book at my Borders a couple of weeks ago. Wicked Game was released recently in trade paperback format. It centers on the life of Ciara Griffin, an older (26) college student who is majoring in marketing and has just found herself a job at...
