I believe I have read some of her other P&P sequels, but I can’t say for certain. This story centers on Charlotte and Eliza, the two daughters of Charlotte and Mr. Collins. Mr. Collins is now a bishop and his daughters are of marrying age. Through a series of events, both find themselves under the [...]

Darkmage by Barbara Hambly

I love Hambly’s Stranger at the Wedding, and so when I saw this book at the resale shop, I had to grab it. Unfortunately, while it still spun a good yarn, it did not intrigue me the way Stranger at the Wedding did. This is actually two books in one. Antryg, a wizard who has [...]
Into the Forest by Jean Hegland
Posted in science fiction on April 28, 2008 | 1 Comment »
The cover and title are reminiscent of fairy tales, but this story is anything but. Hegland tells the tale of a world gone bad. Electricity is gone, plagues are ravaging the land, and two teens are left orphaned in their home, miles from civilization. This story is not only poignant, but terrifying. It tells of [...]
Another One Bites the Dust by Jennifer Rardin

So this was book 2 of the Jaz Parks books. I guess I thought that after reading it I would have less questions since I skipped ahead and read book 3 first. But instead, I have more questions. I still like the series, but I guess I am looking for answers to some of hte weird [...]

For some reason, I thought this book had been written a long time ago, but it was, in fact, written in 2007. It is the 1st book in the War of the Rose andcenters around Averil and Gereint, two people whose destinies are inexplicably linked. Magic is the order of the day and it is all done [...]
Biting the Bullet by Jennifer Rardin

Jaz Parks continues to kick the bad guys butt in Biting the Bullet. I might have gotten a little impatient waiting for book 2 so I read book 3. I know it’s bad etiquette, but I couldn’t help myself. There are still some monstrously bad dudes out there, but this book strikes closer to home. [...]
The Host by Stephenie Meyer

I was scared. Who wouldn’t be? I picked up the ARC for the new Stephenie Meyer book and it doesn’t have Bella or Edward in it. Can she really write or was it just a lucky break? And what a departure. The Host is touted as pore science fiction. I mean who does she [...]
Remember Me? by Sophie Kinsella

I may not like the Shopaholic books (that is so not me), but I like all of Kinsella’s other works. Remember Me did not disappoint. Lexi wakes up after a horrific car crash and has lost three years of her memory. However, she can’t believe that she could have changed as dramatically as she did [...]

In the third book in the House of Night series, Zoey is once more embroiled in elaborate schemes. She is trying to save her friend who is undead (and not in a fun vampire kind of way) while wondering what to do about the High Priestess who is now her enemy. Luckily, the Goddess Nyx [...]
