Review:

An excellent collection of romances with a paranormal theme. A few I had doubts about (I’m not a fan of the whole zombie thing, for example) but the stories were consistently readable. The stories are pretty reliably 4s and 5s – entertaining and in some cases re-read worthy. I loved Eve Langlais’ humorous (and hot) A Demon and His Witch. Shirl Anders’ Vampire Lords of Blacknall: Trinity has a gothic feel and is obviously the set up for a series, one I will be looking to pursue. Memoir of a Reluctant Shaman by Ty Nolan was well-written, just not to my personal taste. The Warlord's Concubine by J.E. & M. Keep is for those of us who secretly wish the spoiled princess would get what’s coming to her…

(I love A Demon and His Witch! It was the very first Eve Langlais book I read [when it was originally released] and totally got me hooked on all books EveL! ~The Queen B~)
