Queen of the Darkness, the third and final book in Anne Bishop’s Black Jewels Trilogy is comparable to that of the movie, Return of the Jedi. I can’t help but compare this series to the original Star Wars Trilogy. With Queen of the Darkness you know it will be an explosive accumulation of everyth...
Buddy read with AlyDaughter of the Blood may have been an incredibly dark and at times shocking story but I loved every minute of it so although I had to brace myself beforehand I couldn't wait to continue reading Jaenelle's story in Heir to the Shadows. I was expecting an intense read when I pic...
This book is incredibly awful. It's embarrassingly bad. The characters (with their ridiculous names) and the world are poorly developed. The author gives us variations of the same scenes again and again - Daemon is a sexy threat, dear old dad Saetan is old and tenderhearted, Jaenelle is very powe...

Blurb:Set in the realm of The Black Jewels trilogy, this collection features four brand-new revelatory stories of Jaenelle and her kindred.My Comments:Anne Bishop continues to impress. This book contains four short stories from the past and future of the Black Jewels Realms and I love them all, b...

I wanted Cassie to deal with Theran and little bitchy Queen, and while she did after a fashion I wanted her to deal with them personally and have it out with them. I...
Shalador's Lady continues with Lady Cassidy's story which is why I had to review both books together. It also ends it very nicely! Cassidy and her loyal Warriors move the court from Grayhaven to Shalador after Theron refuses to throw his guest out of the manor, and steadily the surrounding lands ...
This series is strangely compelling reading. I'd give them all a 3.5 star rating. The plot lines in these books are all the same, but I read them for the characters.
I got this book solely for the short story "Shades of Honor" which highlights Lucifer Yaslana and Surreal SaDiablo. Lucifer is my #2 favorite character of mine and I really enjoyed how this story fleshes him out a little more, lets us see what happens to him and his Eyrie. He retains his charm, a...
The storyline was good, there were some poignant scenes and funny dialogues. I was a bit heartbroken with the last part of the story. The idea of an epic and everlasting love kind of crumbled when Daemon ended up with another. It was carefully thought out, but the chemistry between them did not r...
