When I interviewed Kevin Hearne, I asked if he knew the hero of his urban fantasy series would be seen as a hottie. It certainly wasn’t his intention, but as this character love letter shows, I’m not alone in recognizing the swoon-factor of the 2,100-year-old druid Atticus O’Sullivan. . . . → Click here to continue reading Love letter to Atticus O’Sullivan (Kevin Hearne’s Iron Druid Chronicles)

 I had to know what she has in store for the second book Chaos Burning. Lauren was kind enough to give us a bit of insight into her hero Simon by letting the leading man write a love letter to heroine Lark. . . . → Click here to continue reading Lauren Dane Guest Post & Giveaway: Simon’s love letter to Lark  24 comments  Author Q&A, Paranormal Romance  Bound by Magick, Character Love Letters, giveaway, Lauren Dane, magic, Paranormal Romance, witches
The Cassandra Palmer series has a ton of potential. Karen Chance creates a unique world with powerful conflicts and a heroine forced to come into new abilities. This first book was hit-or-miss for me, but the tone and characters make me want to continue the series. . . . → Click here to continue reading Review: Touch the Dark by Karen Chance (Cassandra Palmer #1) 9 comments Reviews, Urban Fantasy Cassandra Palmer, ghosts, Group Read, Karen Chance, mages, magic, urban fantasy, vampires
As you read yesterday, I loved Karen Mahoney’s latest novel The Wood Queen. The just-released-today novel has a love interest who can be incredibly sweet and gentlemanly. He can also be a bit infuriating at times. Xan is often shirtless. The letter below isn’t spoiler-y, so if you’ve yet to read The Iron Witch, you’re safe, too. Read on as Xan tries to be romantic and write Donna a love letter. Bonus: We’re giving away a signed copy of The Wood Queen at the end of the post. . . . → Click here to continue reading Karen Mahoney Guest Post & Giveaway: Xan’s love letter to Donna 14 comments Author Q&A, Young Adult alchemy, Character Love Letters, giveaway, Guest Post, Karen Mahoney, magic, The Iron Witch, young adult
If you liked Karen Mahoney’s The Iron Witch, be prepared to love The Wood Queen. . . . → Click here to continue reading Early Review: The Wood Queen by Karen Mahoney (The Iron Witch #2) As you may have gathered from my early review of Karina Cooper’s All Things Wicked (which hits stores today), I’m a bit enamored with her Dark Mission series. She has the attributes I look for in all my favorite authors: precise writing, remarkable character development worth getting invested in and both creative and gritty world-building. So, of course, I had to pick her brain on just how New Seattle was formed, what makes her characters a good match and real uses for pyrokinetic abilities. . . . → Click here to continue reading Karina Cooper Q&A & Giveaway: Magic, Seattle and happily-ever-afters 10 comments Author Q&A, Paranormal Romance crossover, Dark Mission, favorites, giveaway, interview, Karina Cooper, magic, Paranormal Romance, witches
The more I read the Dark Mission series, the more apparent is is: Karina Cooper does paranormal romance/urban fantasy crossover right. In the third book All Things Wicked we’re brought back into the bowels of Old Seattle. The dilapidated and crumbling buildings. The damp and the cold. The dark secrets buried amid the earthquake ruins a city just built over. . . . → Click here to continue reading Early Review: All Things Wicked by Karina Cooper (Dark Mission #3) There’s excellent foreshadowing and a creative plot in Street Magic. The dynamic between Pete and Jack is gripping. At times it’s witty, others visceral, but always emotional. Caitlin Kittredge creates such a dynamic world with more questions than answers, which can only allow her Black London series to explode. . . . → Click here to continue reading Review: Street Magic by Caitlin Kittredge (Black London #1) 3 comments Reviews, Urban Fantasy Black London, Caitlin Kittredge, drugs, ghosts, Group Read, magic, urban fantasy
I’m lucky to have Jaye Wells living in the same metro area, because I get to visit her book signings often. (Really, the woman is probably sick of me.) Last Friday night she held a fun signing event for the just-released fourth Sabina Kane novel, Silver-Tongued Devil. In addition to nabbing my own signed copy, I picked up one just for VBC readers. . . . → Click here to continue reading Giveaway: Signed copy of Silver-Tongued Devil by Jaye Wells I’m very excited to announce the January group read will be Street Magic by Caitlin Kittredge. It’s the first in her Black London series. It’s darker urban fantasy big on witchcraft and fey. And I’m confident those of you who love the grittier elements of Stacia Kane’s Downside Ghosts series will dig on Black London. . . . → Click here to continue reading Jan.
