The Body Shop series is one best read in order because of the character growth and story arc as is typical in urban fantasy. Frankie died in the previous story and came back. She is getting used to her new status and abilities. Her relationship with Kierce is developing. Things start off with one of […]
Shamus and Terric have had a year since the events of the last book and have worked out a comfortable rhythm of sorts on how to use their magic and keep it from using them in Back Lash, the third book of the Broken Magic series. But where there is a will, there is a […]
A space garbage ship crew of criminal misfits accidentally salvages an alien ship that takes them back to a homeworld and an adventure worthy of their favorite sci-fi movie heroes. Jonathan Yanez and Ross Buzzell were new to me authors, but one look at the blurb and their book and I signed on for a […]

You will either love or hate Shamus Flynn, the literal life vessel for death. In Hell Bent I asked myself, how many times can a guy get drugged, in Stone Cold I wondered how much more could Shamus spiral out of control. Stone Cold, the second book in Broken Magic, a spin off series to […]
Grim Reaper with a hangover is how this was explained to me and it kinda fits. Hell Bent is the first book in Broken Magic, a spin off series to Allie Beckstrom. I had not read the prior series at all but didn’t have any trouble following the story. I think I would have cared […]
I’ve enjoyed the Library trilogy. In the first book, Livira and Evar meet and get to know each other. They find that although their species are at war, they can love each other. They are separated at the end, Livira amd Malar end up as assistants and goes back in time to help Evar and […]
