Review: Control Point, by Myke Cole

Control Point by Myke Cole My rating: 4 of 5 stars Stay tuned! At the end of this review is something REALLY COOL! This was a great read. I generally avoid fantasy set in the modern (or sorta) world, and never considered myself a military-anything buff. So Control Point was a very-pleasant surprise. I devoured the book in two days. Cole does a great job of...

Review: Prince of Thorns by Mark Lawrence

Prince of Thorns by Mark Lawrence My rating: 5 of 5 stars I’m not the first one to point out that making an anti-hero work is really difficult; it’s a fine line between being disgusted by the actions and hating the character. Lawrence hit on the balance. I still walked away disturbed, perhaps more so at the end than I’d been all along. But...

Review: Red by Kait Nolan

Red by Kait Nolan My rating: 5 of 5 stars The premise of this one so intrigued me that I picked it up, even though I’ve been feeling a bit glutted with YA books lately. I’m glad I didn’t pass it up. YA heroines often leave me feeling empty, as if they’re a bit shallow (some of that just being the effect of youth rather than bad writing.)...

Review: Crash Into You by Roni Loren

Crash Into You by Roni Loren My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was a great read. Hot and steamy without being so focused on the erotic elements that it neglected the plot. I was pleasantly surprised at the depth and intricacy of the conflict that is so often missing in erotic romance, where hook-ups are often the whole point of the anemic storyline. Nice bit of...

Review: Eden by Phil Rossi

Eden by Phil Rossi My rating: 5 of 5 stars This book was such a treat. The emotion Rossi evokes is real and universal. His hero is flawed and both mourns those flaws and accepts their inevitability. He doesn’t let the problems, inside or out, keep him from solving this fascinating mystery. The action here is subtle and suspenseful, inside a world that...

A #FridayReads Review – When She Woke by Hillary Jordan

Posted by on Dec 2, 2011 in Book Review, Books | 2 comments

When She Woke by Hillary Jordan My rating: 4 of 5 stars I expected to be disappointed in this book. In part from the lukewarm reviews, and in part because I often have a hard time with re-telling of books I enjoyed. But when I finally came to this one it sucked me in and I finished it that night. I think Jordan built a fascinating setting. Yes, there are only so...
