This book took me far longer to read than it should have due to my pet’s antics. I found my cat hanging from the chandelier panic-inducing enough. No dog-napping was required. In any case, the furry critters are well worth checking this book out for, and their owners as well.

Review: Sherrilyn Kenyon – Deadmen Walking
It has been years since I read a Sherrilyn Kenyon novel, and Deadmen Walking reminded me of why I enjoyed them so much. The good news is that you don’t need to have read her other books to enjoy this book. However, characters are mentioned that you will have met if you have read the Dark Hunter novels.

After the high of Dark Song, Dark Tarot felt like a let-down. This felt like a reunion book without it truly being a reunion. Too many locations and faces detracted from the leading pair, and I never came to like Adalasia.

Nadine has a beautiful talent for bringing her characters to life. Each is unique and brings a distinct voice and view to the Eubeltic realm.

This book is a suspense-filled ride from start to finish. Whether dodging Black Friday shoppers or hunting down the people who took her pack, Mercy is on a mission. It is neat getting a better look at Mercy’s world’s politics as she toes the line between human and supernatural.

The Princess Bride has been one of my favorite movies for decades. The book has been languishing on my bookshelf for nearly as long. While what makes the film great is there, numerous extraneous tangents and long expository interludes ruin the book’s flow and destroy the experience.

The premise made this book look intriguing, but it was never able to hold my interest. The main characters were too wishy-washy for me to like, and plot lines were either not fleshed out or left unresolved.

This book presents itself as a take on Pride and Prejudice or a comedy of errors and fails miserably on both counts. A grating writing style only compounds the problems caused by a cast of manipulative characters in a series of events that get progressively crueler.

This book may have been written over thirty years ago, but it holds up well. Ben Holiday’s crazy adventure after purchasing the throne of a fantasy kingdom, Landover, shows that some things never change, no matter what world you’re in.

I knew from the synopsis that this would be a gory book, but I did not expect how gruesome it would be. Rape, mutilation, sexism (going both ways), and unlikable characters made this challenging to finish.
