Review: Black Rook by Kelly Meade

Posted 18 July, 2014 by Lori @ Romancing the Dark Side in Reviews / 12 Comments

Kelly Meade has solidified my love of werewolves with her refreshing new alphas of Cornerstone, the McQueens are beyond SWOON-WORTHY! Kelly Meade has definitely changed the game with her new world of werewolves. I’ve read plenty of books with werewolves, they’re my second favorite supe, but I haven’t come across anything like this fascinating world of loup garou and magic Meade’s created. World building can sometimes overpower a “first in a series” book, but I found myself devouring every detail […]

Anne Bishop continues to amaze me…I can’t get enough of this dark and enthralling paranormal world! I honestly think this is the first time I’ve used the “rocked my world” icon on a review and if any review deserves it it’s MURDER OF CROWS!

Anne Bishop delivers a hauntingly beautiful reading experience with WRITTEN IN RED! WRITTEN IN RED is unlike any paranormal world I’ve read…in a good way!

One of my recommendations was WRITTEN IN RED. It went from my wish list to my TBR list and […]

Review: A Werewolf in Manhattan by Vicki Lewis Thompson

Posted 13 February, 2014 by Lori @ Romancing the Dark Side in Reviews / 7 Comments

An interesting story that fell flat with its irritating leading lady… I have to admit that I was initially drawn to its catchy title being a native New Yorker and all. The cover suggests a fun and flirty read and that’s exactly what I was prepping myself for when I started listening to it on audio. The audiobook started off ok, it always takes me a couple of chapters to get familiar with a new narrator but around chapter 4 […]
