I am slightly disappointed that there isn’t a romance to root for, but it’s not a total letdown… *sigh* This book is more than just who the main character is going to hook up with. Silence by Michelle Sagara is sad and confusing and fascinating. Emma Hall is far from...

Have you noticed that most paranormal romances have something to do with a war? And that sends me into book lovers heaven! It's why I adore paranormal romance books so much, and the fact that Ascend by Amanda Hocking has dilemmas which transcend the mostly political war that has been...

IS THIS ABOUT MERMAIDS OR NOT? Yes and no. Of Poseidon by Anna Banks technically features these mermaid-like creatures. But, if you don’t want to get your head bitten off by Galen, or the average Syrena—I don’t care if they don’t actually do that; it’s an insult—you’d...
