Books We're Most Thankful For in 2011
The Sirantha Jax series feels like it's changed so much from those first, frenetic, action-packed books, but I know that's not wholly accurate . Jax's world is as messy and political and fraught with peril as ever, but my relationship with ...

Don’t make my mistake of picking up ALL MEN OF GENIUS when you’re on your way to bed. Hours later, bleary-eyed and sleepy, I was only halfway through the book and still fighting to keep reading, unable to put it down. Violet, Ashton, Jack a...
“Just your average boy-meets-girl, girl-kills-people story...” that’s anything but average.

The ending of HARD BITTEN was a bit of a fox in the hen house for most fans of the Chicagoland Vampires series. I had started the book impressed with the risks Neill takes with her characters, and the ending in no way changed that for me. S...

From FEAST’s first chapter I was engrossed as much with the mythology expanding before my eyes as I was with the characters who had already won my heart. The balance of character development and world building excellence that was impossibl...
THE GATHERING begins with the most unlikely of settings for a paranormal YA, a classic “company town” set in a remote area of Canada. Like the famed company campuses of Silicon Valley, the families of Salmon Creek receive world-class perks...
It has been a few years since I followed the Cassie Palmer series closely, somewhere back around book three I lost track of her and the too-smooth Mircea. HUNT THE MOON not only brought me back up to speed with the action and politics of C...

My only complaint at the end of RED GLOVE was just that, it had ended. In just two books this series has developed such an intricate world and consistent voice that for both WHITE CAT and RED GLOVE I had no more put down one book when I wa...

Shadowfever was definatley the book I was most thankful for!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving!
I agree with Lexi, "Shadowfever" was such a wonderful book and I was soooo thankful for the perfect ending of the Fever series [I actually had to stay at home from work, said I was ill, to finish the book - I´ve never done such a thing before]. But there were others: P. Briggs' "River Marked", Ilona Andrews' "Magic Slays" and "One Salt Sea" by S. McGuire.
