"This entry into urban fantasy by Lori Handeland has a good plot and decent characters. There is some nice humor in it. That said, I cannot recommend it. The characterization is inconsistent and the themes, frankly, make me angry. How on earth am I supposed to enjoy a book where the heroine, ...
I think this one annoyed me less than her Night Creature Series. I don't know... perhaps it's because I'm in the middle of the 3rd Night Creature right now, and it's just not drawing me in... But her writing has definitely gotten more enjoyable since then. Liz is relatable. Jimmy is interesting....
2.5. It's not that I disliked this book. On the contrary, I got a kick out of it, however, it lacked ambience, historical details and character development for me to completely be absorbed by the story. Despite the near 300 pages, it felt rushed. Mayhap because it lacked substance? I was not...
keresem a szavakat. olyan ez a könyv, mint valami arany széphistória, csak vámpírokkal. nem mintha tudnám, az milyen, de a borító alapján valami hasonló lehet.Shakespeare a szőke vámpírherceg zombik holt tetemén vágtatva át megmenti élete nagy szerelmét, a vámpír- és zombiölő rapíros harcoslányt,...

This is a story of how an ex-football player who met a a high- school baseball coach and turned into a lovesick teenager. And the fact that this football player had a daughter and this coach had a son that happened to be attracted to each other wasn't an issue.I think it's the light incest that m...

She frowned at the rifle in Owen’s hand. “Where’s Becca?” Owen’s gaze swept the cars in the lot, recognizing none of them. “I was hoping she was here.” Worry cast over Raye’s face, and she beckoned him inside. Everyone who’d been there earlier remained. “No one’s heard from her?” Owen asked. “Not...
I asked.“What do you think?” Summer didn’t even glance at me, just continued to hold Jimmy’s gaze. “Sell your soul for Sawyer.”I laughed. “Right.”“You’re on your way to the Black Hills,” she said. “To see a skinwalker about raising his ghost.”“How do you know that?” I glanced at Luther, but he sh...
He probably should have taken her there himself, but he was afraid if he spent one more instant in her company he’d give in to the career-ending, jail-time-inducing desire to touch her in the ways he’d been dreaming of. What was wrong with him? He was a psychiatrist. He knew that dreams weren’t r...
Greg offered me a ride to the clinic in town; I refused. I had a few scrapes. I’d live. I just wanted to get out of there. The scene was chaos. It wasn’t every day something blew up in New Bergin. That it had blown up after yet another murder … Like I said, chaos. I wouldn’t be able to escape que...
Jimmy asked.Fury flowed through me. How long had he been standing there? Would he have continued to watch if I’d given in to the strange temptation to touch Sawyer in ways I still wanted to touch Jimmy?Jimmy’s eyes, his face, gave away nothing. He just leaned against the door and contemplated fir...
Since she ran from one end of town to the next, speaking with every widow, daughter, and mother she could find over sixteen years of age, she concluded he was avoiding her. Come dawn, Reese would be unable to avoid her any longer. Though with over a dozen women present, as well as his men, perhap...
The howl rose through the sifting snow toward the grainy, hidden moon. Alex wished she had a gun, and fingers, so she could end Barlow’s torment. Her throat ached to join him as he howled out the remaining seconds of his life. George had run back to town, presumably to find water—a bucket, a hose...
He lifted his lip in a silent snarl."I don't think he's going to tell me." Even if he was capable of speech."The Naye'i is an evil spirit," Carla said. "She doesn't need a reason to kill you beyond the pleasure of doing so."Sadly, that made sense."And it's common practice in battle to take out th...
No, I figured I’d go down in a blaze of glory—sword slashing, blood everywhere—perhaps during the final battle called Armageddon.Jimmy’s fingers tightened on mine, and the panic that had threatened receded. At least we were together. At least he hadn’t pulled away again.Then we landed with a thud...
That wasn’t new. But considering she awoke in Garrett’s bed, in Garrett’s house, she didn’t like it. Sitting up, she shoved her tangled hair from her face. The room resembled the set of an X-rated movie—or what she imagined one to be: clothes tossed everywhere, her camisole hanging from the lamp,...
There was no monster in the closet. No dragon under the bed. When I was twenty-six I learned differently. The bogeyman was real. The monsters popped up in my own backyard. I haven’t seen a dragon yet, but that doesn’t mean one doesn’t exist. I was just a small town cop, doing my job—a little bore...
