Probably the worst digital review copy I've received/reviewed in over a hundred (looked like a bad photocopied hard copy and text could not be resized on an e-reader).
After struggling for a bit, I am tapping out on page 38.
Trigger warning/spoiler alert:
If you have issues with sexual assault, this is probably not the book for you. 2 mentions (a memory & another attempt) within 30ish pages is a bit much and more than I can currently handle, so this is not for me.

I LOVE the movie, but couldn't really get into the book. It's one thing to listen to and see people ranting about clothing/brands, but it's a totally different thing to try to read it.

A bit of a slow start. About 75% cop drama and 25% paranormal/religious. Was great once it got going. An interesting twist on angels and demons.

Another amazing story by Nancy A Collins.

I love Ash. But, I tend to like them big and stupid. No, he's not your typical protagonist, he's a bit of a bumbling fool. But his one liners are super fun. This takes place pretty much directly from where the film Army of Darkness left off. There is sort of a cliffhanger ending to this installment, but it really just sets the scene for the next part.
By far, my favorite part was with the giant guarding the witch's lair.

Where to start. Well, that cliffhanger ending to part 3 was a doozy, but Jenn does an awesome job of getting us up to speed with gentle and not so gentle reminders of what happened, so I didn't feel lost even though I read the other book almost a year ago.
This book focuses on Arcadia & Lon trying to find the Moonchild spell that Cady's evil momma used so that they can counteract it. Sadly, a different spell performed by Lon that was supposed to protect Cady ends up having some unexpected side effects that honestly had me a bit scared at first but played out nicely.
This has been such a fabulous series. I am very sad that this is probably the end of our journey with Cady & Lon, but am hopeful that there might one day be either follow up novellas or perhaps stories involving Jupe or the shrimp.

Loved this like much of the Molly Harper stuff. This didn't have quite as much snark as the Naked Werewolf series but was still a good time.
Part murder mystery, part haunted house story but with a bit of sexual tension and flirtation mixed in for good measure.
I really liked Nina and Deacon as you very rarely get to see the nerdy boy or girl end up with a happily ever after.
Crane's Nest is the gorgeous ancestral home of the Whitneys. The home and the family are cursed but Deacon Whitney is trying to break that curse and bring the house back to it's former glory. He'll do it with the help of his best friend, Jake, and a few spunky women (Nina, landscaper artiste, Cindy, organization & cleaning guru, and his cousin, Dotty a flighty free spirit who wants to focus on the paranormal aspects of the home). Paranormal hi-jinks ensue.

Great collection of the miniseries by Vertigo comics. Vampire mafia story.

I absolutely loved the Drake Chronicles by Alyxandra and am really hoping to see more books from this world, possibly focusing on the other 2 Lovegroves (Penelope & Gretchen).
This one does start off a bit slow as there is a lot of world building and back story. But Emma & Cormac quickly grab your attention. Learning of Emma's parents and what drove her mother to madness was a great addition to the mystery surrounding the deaths of the debutante witches.

I adore the Broken Hearts series so was excited to read this collection of "humorous" short stories. Um, yeah, sort of? The first 4 shorts are not terribly interesting nor humorous and have a completely different tone than the series.
He Said, Sidhe Said was pretty fun and I kinda wish it were longer and included the scene that caused the intervention.
The Warrior and the Maiden is a solid fairy tale, short, bedtime story told by Lorcan.
Soul Shifter is a bit more tragic & serious but sets us up really wanting to see more of Ash.
Tax Not the Zombie was cute.
This Werewolf Walks Into a Dentist's Office... was probably my fave, but I'm biased as I love Damian. This one was quirky and had that same feel as the series.
Wish Upon a Zombie is the longest and the only one that has any hints at romance and the steaminess we get in the usual series but really just in comments then the scene changes to another couple so no skinamax type lovin'.
Definitely worth the read although it does start out slowly, the last few stories make it worthwhile.

Book 3 in the Marquis De Sade Vampire series. A bit of a let down, compared to the other books. It introduces an interesting premise in the form of the Cathedral, but never really elaborates on how it came about.

I absolutely *adore* Cynthia Eden and the Purgatory series.
This installment continues momentum from book 2 and we now get a glimpse of Connor & Chloe's story. Connor is horribly scarred both physically and mentally by the abuse at the hands of his sadistic father. All he knows is hate & rage. Until he meets Chloe.
Chloe was also at the mercy of her own sadistic father and his attempts to harness the power of her dormant beast.
There's more back story on the scheming involving Purgatory but also lots of steamy little romps between the action.
I love the set up toward the end involving Eric so hopefully that stick will come out of his butt soonish, he'll get laid, and stop being such a prick.

I'm addicted to these novels based on the role playing game (even though I don't game).

I'm a huge fan of the original Crow by James O'Barr and several of the spin offs. This particular installment was OK, but didn't really thrill me. Salvador, while trying to provide for a better life for his family, really wasn't much better than the men he crossed. The artwork is quite gruesome and brutal. The broken english was a bit hard to follow, annoying, but it fits with the theme and the characters so it makes sense.
So, while not my favorite, still a decent tale of vengeance sought by the Crow.

Although not a huge fan of paranormal romance, I have to say that this was an amazing book. I tend to prefer my vampires on the rough side, more blood than sex. This book was incredibly well done, and had equal parts gore and lust. Very had to put down. Definitely looking forward to the next installment.

Helpful Score: 3
Great continuation of this werewolf series. Dark Moon focuses on Elise Hanover the scientist briefly mentioned in the two previous books. The book explores her character and her relationship with Edward. Of course, the doom of werewolf apocalypse craziness is there too. A few steamy scenes but not quite as Skinamax as the previous books.

It took a little while for me to get into this one. I know its silly, but I cringed at the mention of banana clips (remembering the horrid days in middle school when people actually thought those things were cool). I was quite happy that it didn't turn into LKH style lovin' once Sookie and Bill hooked up. At least intrigued enough to continue the series.

This is such a gorgeous book that I absolutely *need* for my coffee table. Highly recommended to any art or fashion lovers. The grrls in this book are absolutely fierce with amazing presence. Some of the best make-up and photography that I've seen in a while.
While it was great seeing some of my favorites from RuPaul's Drag Race, my absolute favorite photo is tribute to the Madonna Justify My Love cover. It was very hard trying to think of a favorite as these artists really do amazing tributes/recreations and even more fantastic original concepts.
