ALL BOOK REVIEWS

ON SHELVES
IN FIRE FORGED, edited by David Weber

"One of the pitfalls of Honor’s success is that she is always getting herself promoted. Seeing her back in action with just her single destroyer and a fiercely loyal crew is a refreshing trip down memory lane.." -- Rachel Hyland
LATE ECLIPSES by Seanan McGuire

"Late Eclipses is a taut medical investigation/serial killer/courtroom drama thriller: Robin Cook meets Patricia Cornwell meets John Grisham. But, funny. And, you know, with fairies." -- Rachel Hyland
THE GODS OF DREAM by Daniel Arenson

"You'll probably never feel as grateful for e-books as you will when you read this one." - Rachel Hyland
THE LOST GATE by Orson Scott Card

"Apparently Card's had this world in his mind for the past 30 years or so and is only now getting around to publishing a series based on it. I kind of wish he had taken more time, actually." --  K. Burtt

IN THE STACKS
Our topic this month: Paranormal Romance
A QUICK BITE by Lynsay Sands

"For anyone who thinks they’ve seen it all in vampire romance and fantasy novels, I give you Lynsay Sands and her Argeneau Vampires." -- Rachel Hyland
SECOND SIGHT by Amanda Quick
 
"Crossing over to the paranormal side in this first of her Arcane Society novels, Quick sets her tale in the Victorian era, a time of bustles and gaslamps and emerging scientific inquiry." -- Rachel Hyland
SERVANT: THE ACCEPTANCE by L. L. Foster

"They don't have sex. Luther does make it to third base in a parking lot, but if you’re looking for anything beyond that, you’re going to come away as frustrated as poor Luther.." -- Kate Nagy
WICKED APPETITE by Janet Evanovich

"Diesel is an Unmentionable, which is a very convenient title, as it doesn’t really explain what how he does what he does, or the full range of his powers." -- Sara Paige
WINTER'S TALE by Mark Helprin
 
"Simultaneously a quest tale, a futuristic millennial fantasy, a romance, a meditation on the uncompromising nature of justice, and a love poem to the city of New York, Winter’s Tale is an absolutely breathtaking piece of work" -- Kate Nagy
