Lisa Shearin’s SPI Files series takes place in New York City, but it’s a New York that regular people don’t see. Unless you have taken Brimstone, a new designer drug that allows the user to “see” the true form of those around them. Something that SPI, does not want to happen. Humans would freak out if they knew what they were living among. Continue reading “This Chick Read: The Brimstone Deception by Lisa Shearin”
Forgive me but I’m going to gush for a moment. Kristen Callihan’s Darkest London series is a fantastically dark, dangerously fun, sexy thrill ride. I enjoyed Moonglow, the second book in the series, just as much as Firelight, the first. The characters are not perfect. They are flawed in the best way possible. They are interesting, and hold my attention to the extent that I am reading each page like I eat a piece of chocolate cake, savoring each bite and disappointed when my plate is clean.

Morrigan’s Cross is the first book in Nora Roberts Circle Trilogy. This book was first published in August of 2006, and was just reissued in January 2016. Apparently I must have been living in a hole in the ground because I’ve never read this series! As with most of Ms. Roberts trilogy’s, this storyline has a good versus evil theme. Six people, of mixed backgrounds join together, using their various abilities, magical and warrior, to become a unit with the purpose of saving mankind from the evil Lilith. Continue reading “This Chick Read: Morrigan’s Cross by Nora Roberts”
Ghost Talker, the fourth novel in the Ghost Seer series, finds Clare and Zach trying to solve the problem of a poltergeist disturbing Buffalo Bill’s grave. Robin D. Owens has done a good job of evolving the psychic abilities of these two characters, as well as increasing the depth of feelings between them, Continue reading “This Chick Read: Ghost Talker by Robin D. Owens “
Fire Touched is the latest Mercy Thompson novel by Patricia Briggs. Mercy, a coyote shifter, while battling a Troll on a bridge to keep it from decimating the Tri-Cities population, makes a magical statement declaring the Columbia Basin Pack protectors of that territory. This is the beginning of a fantastic story of one of my favorite fantasy characters. Mercy and her husband Adam, the Alpha Continue reading “This Chick Read: Fire Touched by Patricia Briggs”
On the surface, All the Broken Places seems to be a paranormal romance, and it certainly has those elements. The romance was key, but, I think the bigger story was Cate’s involvement with the MacGregor Group, and finding a place that she would fit in. This book was about how our insecurities Continue reading “This Chick Read: All the Broken Places by Anise Eden”
Backtrack 17 is the second novel in the TaP Team series by L.j. Charles. It continues the story of Everly Gray, a touch sensitive psychic who has joined a spy team created by her husband Tynan Pierce. I first was introduced to Everly Gray in A Touch of Ice, where she was a Personal Coach, or life counselor (This Chick Read: A Touch of Ice the Everly Gray Adventures). To prepare for the jump in time for Everly Gray Continue reading “This Chick Read: Backtrack 17: The TaP Team by L.j. Charles”
This book was released in October 2015, but the publisher, Booktrope, sent me a copy through NetGalley to review. I read a lot of paranormal romance/fantasy novels. The description for this book sounded intriguing, Continue reading “This Chick Read: Rising Shadows by Bridget Blackwood”
