![]() | Heart of Stone by C. E. Murphy
Buy new: £7.97 / Used from: £2.99 A+ Completed trilogy that has a new spin on a "mundane" encountering the secret world around us. Brilliant characters, plenty of intrigue with a good dash of romance. Well recomended.
|
![]() | Bloodring: A Rogue Mage Novel (Rogue Mage Novels) by Faith Hunter
Buy new: £4.84 / Used from: £2.33 A- A future world after a sightly incomplete "end of days", the story revolves around a hidden mage. Compelling imagery, good mystery and well written characters. Ticks virtually all the boxes.
|
![]() | Night Shift (Jill Kismet Books) by Lilith Saintcrow
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £2.50 A Action orientated, with a strong element of mystery and romance. Similar in style to the Dante Valentine series, which is a good thing!
|
![]() | The Sweet Scent of Blood: spellcrackers.com Book 1 by Suzanne McLeod
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £0.48 A- Only one book so far, but it was a cracking start. A strongly developed mystery, characters, with a strong does of action and a hint of romance. Ending was maybe a touch weak, but anticipating #2
|
![]() | Blood Price by Tanya Huff
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.23 A Dark series with many books in it, Tanya Huff leaves the humour she often brings to the side and concentrates on dark myteries. And does it well.
|
![]() | Tempting Danger (Berkley Sensation) by Eileen Wilks
Buy new: £4.83 / Used from: £1.14 B+ Strongly centred around romance, the books combine mystery with action. Ticks most boxes, just didn't leave me hanging out for each subsequent book.
|
![]() | Nightwalker by Jocelynn Drake
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.22 B Strong first book, with the second coming May 09. Quite dark, strong romance element, and lots of action. A slightly new take on vampires and faeries.
|
![]() | Magic to the Bone by Devon Monk
Buy new: £3.68 / Used from: £0.33 A- Another first book, the story is a strong one with a main character who keeps getting up despite the trials she has. Strong mystery, with decent action & romance. Interesting magic system.
|
![]() | The Turning (Blood Ties) by Jennifer Armintrout
Buy used from: £2.10 B Solid series that doesn't quite have enough of anything, either romance or action, to quite take that next step. But a good read, although with many dark elements.
|
![]() | Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr
Buy used from: £3.79 B+ Slightly YA, and slightly short. But very good series with a real fairy tale feel to it. As in, old style fairy tale. :)
|
![]() | Unshapely Things by Mark Del Franco
Buy new: £7.99 / Used from: £1.87 B+ Solid series that has lots of action, a dash of romance, and lots of dropped hits of greater mysteries. A fun series with the Dresden feel. Not quite that level though.
|
![]() | City of Ashes (Mortal Instruments) by Cassandra Clare
Buy new: £4.87 / Used from: £2.78 B Definitely a YA feel, but a good series. Centres around a young teenager, who finds out there is magic in the world. Very action orientated, and the surprises a little obvious. But good yarns.
|
![]() | The Scent of Shadows: First Sign of the Zodiac (Zodiac 1) by Vicki Pettersson
Buy used from: £0.01 D Has holes in the plot you could drive a truck through, and the writing isn't strong enough to overcome. Didn't read beyond the first.
|
![]() | A Kiss of Shadows by Laurell K. Hamilton
Buy new: £5.47 / Used from: £0.48 C- I read, but a bit 'bleh' over this series. Lots of sex, slow resolution of story lines, and a holier than thou, I'm always right/know better heroine.
|
![]() | Bareback by Kit Whitfield
Buy new: £5.47 / Used from: £0.01 A+ A very serious book, with a very flawed, and hurt, heroine. A mystery and drama, with little action or humour, a very dark book that is entirely enthralling via the storyline and heroine.
|
![]() | Once Bitten, Twice Shy (Jaz Parks Sequence) by Jennifer Rardin
Buy new: £5.09 / Used from: £1.56 B- The series is allright, and the authour draws you in. Very action orientated and so is quite loose with reason/world rules at time. Not for someone into strong world building, but a quick thrill.
|
![]() | The Dragons of the Cuyahoga by S. Andrew Swann
Buy used from: £0.94 B+ Two good books with a vibrant world with the main character being a journalist. Very good at blending the intrigue, action and making a realistic story. Somehow lacks a little something to be a A
|
![]() | Howling at the Moon: Tales of an Urban Werewolf by Karen Macinerney
Buy new: £4.77 / Used from: £1.20 B- One of those ditzy characters who makes a lot of mistakes, without it quite being funny. Still, a good read with enough mystery and fun to keep reading them. But can be irritating.
|
![]() | Rogue by Rachel Vincent
Buy used from: £1.09 C+ First book is almost carbon copy of Bitten (list 1). That said, the 2nd is unqiue, and its a entertaining series. But some issues with world building & appearance of copying.
|
![]() | Matters of the Blood by Maria Lima
Buy used from: £1.46 B+ Good story centering around an intriguing central character, just coming into her family's version of adolesence. Good read, but not groundbreaking in any way.
|
![]() | Dead Until Dark: A Sookie Stackhouse Vampire Mystery by Charlaine Harris
Buy used from: £5.08 A- Very good series that has wandered a little bit. But generally all the books are good, the main character is fascinating, and the world is well built. Interactions are very well done.
