Book Review – One Grave at a Time by Jeaniene Frost

One Grave at a Time: A Night Huntress Novel
What more is there to say, since my last “pre-review” post. *sigh* It wasn’t bad. I mean, Jeaniene’s story building, characters and “paranormal world” are solid enough to make good books (even out of this boring one). Usually her books bypass “good” altogether, though, and are simply amazing! The dilemmas that present themselves in each installment are usually exciting, and the tension between the characters (whether they are in love or in hate) will turn your reading-world upside down. read more

One Grave at a Time: A Night Huntress Novel
Guys. Is it just me? I’m bored. I’ve been reading this book for three days straight, I adore Cat and Bones to death, and yet, I keep putting this one down. I’m only 60-something percent in. I’m bummed, because my favorite vampire crew have turned into boring ol’ super-sleuths. It’s a paranormal mystery, but that’s about it. Urban Fantasy (but it’s always been that). The story is solid, mind you. It’s got a bit of danger, a bad guy (or maybe two?), people to save, a problem to solve and an all-consuming, very important purpose. read more

Jana Oliver – Demon Trappers Series Reading Order

By 2 Comments

This one was recommended by Lenny. She said:

“absolutely loved it! … and although it’s young adult fiction I couldn’t put it down!”

P.S. Book #1 & #2 are available on Amazon with TWO different titles… the author explains. (UPDATE: I link the reading order below in the U.S. title versions):

Q. Why all of the different titles? It’s confusing.
It is unusual, but not that rare, to have different titles on the foreign editions of a book. It is more common to have different covers on the foreign editions, with some being radically different. read more
