Book Review
The following review can be found in the External Links below:
I loved this book, but I do have to say that I don't understand why the publishers put two historical re-releases with two new urban contemporary stories.
Jackie Kessler's "A Hell of a Time" starring Jezebel the ex-demon was great fun. Although Jess is not a demon anymore, she still sees demons and other paranormals, and they won't leave her alone. She and Paul want to get away from it all, but they're not as alone as they think. Steamy and funny and fun! You might learn something about Frank Lloyd Wright while you're reading, too!! Can't wait for "Hotter than Hell," Jackie!
Richelle Mead's "City of Demons" is great too. Georgina serves on a demon jury to help out Jerome, and gets more involved in the dispute than she bargained for. Her boyfriend Seth comes along for the ride, and their romance gets tested in ways Georgina hadn't bargained for. I really enjoyed the complexity of the issues of the story, and I can't wait for "Succubus Dreams," Richelle!
Hannah Howell's "The Yearning" takes place in 1435 A.D. Once again I have to ask why the publishers put two sexy, fun, contemporary paranormal romances with two historicals. I wasn't sure I would like the two historicals, but I do have to say that I did. The Yearning takes place in Scotland, and I have to warn you that some of the dialogue is written in Scottish brogue, which kind of annoys me personally, but if you can get past that, it's a sweet story.
I also enjoyed Lynsay Sands' "Bitten," about a woman saved from a ship wreck by a vampire, was also good.
Worth it to get fresh stories on Jezebel and Georgina, while waiting for their next releases! A fun and unusual read.
