Book Review: Ice Storm, Hunting the Demon

Reading Anne Stuart’s Ice storm was a natural progression for me since I’ve been following this particular spy suspense series when it first debut with Black Ice.
This time round, it’s Ice Queen Isobel Lambert, the head of the committee who is being hunted down by an archenemy who wants her eliminated at all cost. Sent […]

Book Review: Fallen

I’m no stranger to Eric McCarthy, having read the hilariously entertaining Heiress for Hire in 2006. I recall making plans to hunt down some of her contemporary stuff but never got round to it.  Therefore, imagine my delight when I stumble upon this rather dark paranormal series built around the seven deadly sins and the […]

Book Review: Elijah, Caressed by Ice, Warrior Rising

The month of May was as much about celebrating differences as fantasy serials. The three paranormal/ fantasy romance reads I finished had relationships that involved protagonists who come from different worlds/ races and time/ century.
Elijah is the third in the Nightwalkers paranormal romance series by Jacquelyn Frank and boy did she have a bombshell of […]

Besides fairy tales, Greek myths and Arthurian legends, one other constant in my childhood was the pugilistic novels and drama serials I would invariably get hooked on. Dreaming about soaring through woods and over water using ‘qing gong’ was just the beginning, the neighbourhood kids used to play games involving some martial arts heroes or […]

Scorching Visions of Heat

What a good day it was for paranormal fans when Nalini Singh came up with this fantastic universe of Changelings and a psychic super race.
Having enslaved many fans with her serial debut, Slave to Sensation, the author has gone on to blaze a new path to bestselling success with the scorching Visions of Heat, and […]

No Rest for the Wicked Gideon

Few authors, IMO, have managed to steer clear of what I call the ‘middle child’ syndrome in series writing. More often than not, the follow-up to their debuts often suffer from a lack of certain oomph due to the readers’ familiarity with the world and characters that were already introduced in the first book. 
Sometimes, the […]
