How to Marry a Millionaire Vampire
by Kerrelyn Sparks
When I initially picked up this book I anticipated a humorous vampire novel. I expected it to have its serious moments but overall I expected to find a light, funny, and entertaining book. The title of the book alone is enough to make you want to laugh after [...]

Joust
Book One of the Dragon Jousters Series
by Mercedes Lackey
As a dragon enthusiast I jumped for joy when I found this book on the bookshelf at my local bookstore. After I read it I couldn’t help but think that this was what a dragon book should be. Mercedes Lackey has always been one of my favorite [...]

Beyond the Pale
Book One of the Darkwing Chronicles

Doppelganger
by Marie Brennan
This may have been Marie Brennan’s introductory novel but Ms. Brennan has made a powerful statement for herself and has established herself as a fantasy writer capable of holding her own with some of the genre’s A-list authors. The story has two main protagonists, Mirage and Miryo, this in itself is not a [...]
