0373802323This is the second book in this magnificent romantic fantasy series (See THE MOUNTAIN'S CALL) and it is full of more action, romance and drama than its prequel. The love Kerrick and Valeria feel for each other is tested by secrets he keeps from his lover and the wounds that refuse to heal, both magical and physical, inflicted on him by his half-brother. The battle scenes are magnificent, the characters are realistic and the storyline is pure magic; readers will eagerly await the next book in this tantalizing series.

140009562XThe fun in the second forensic-legal thriller (see REMAINS SILENT) is the relationship between the lead couple who bring love, obstinacy and professionalism into the mix. The story line is fast-paced as the two subplots start off their separate ways, but consolidate into an over the top conspiracy cover-up thriller. Fans will enjoy the tale though ironically readers will anticipate the merging of the plots while considering the underlying conclusion that vicious murdering rulers rarely are punished.

0451463625I've read all the Allie Beckstrom novels. The author Devon Monk has nevered failed to write a good one. Magic at the Gate is no exception.The novel starts out immediately where Magic on the Storm: An Allie Beckstrom Novel left off. Allie, Stone, and the specter of her supposedly dead Dad step out of the gate into death to bring back Zayvion Jones. To rescue him Allie must work with her father Daniel Beckstrom with whom she has always had a love-hate relationship, with more emphasis on hate. She doesn't trust her Dad, but he is the only one that can help her navigate death without becoming a permanent resident. Along her journey through death Allie learns more about the balance between dark and light magic, and how it was torn apart. She discovers that in order to save Jayvion, she must make a choice that can have serious consequences for magic and the entire world.This book was a great read all the way through. I look forward to the next one!

0061451843In the early morning hours of March 18, 1990, thieves posing as cops entered Bostons Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and left with a haul unrivaled in the art world, including three Rembrandts and a Vermeer, valued today at $600 million. Boser, a contributing editor at U.S. News and World Report, turned amateur sleuth after the death of a legendary independent fine arts claims adjuster, Harold Smith, who was haunted by the Gardner robbery. Boser carried on Smiths work, pursuing leads as varied as James Whitey Bulgers Boston mob and the IRA. Along the way, he visited felons—including the notorious art thief Myles Connor—and Bob Wittman, the FBIs only art theft undercover agent. Bosers rousing account of his years spent collecting clues large and small is entertaining enough to make readers almost forget that, after 18 years, the paintings have still not been found: the museum is offering a $5 million reward for information leading to their return.

0451463714WARNING...!!! SOME SPOILERS!!!Since I first found "Sweet Silver Blues" over twenty years ago, I have fallen for Garrett, P.I. The alternate universe settings of supernaturally surrounded hard-boiled detectives have come a long way. We have Jim Butcher's excellent urban wizard, Harry Dresden; we have Simon R. Green's really cool John Taylor and his truly weird and creepy, Nightside; and another favorite of mine, P. N. Elrod's great vampire P.I., Jack Fleming. I adore all of these. But, Glen Cook and Garrett got me started on this genre and I am forever glad. The latest Garrett adventure has, however, undertones of so many loose ends being tidied up that is has a tint of "end of series". Maybe not. Maybe Garrett's hot and cold love-life with his stormy red-head, the deathly attack on his best friend, and the more than hints of a real law and order society that would make a loose canon such as Garrett unnecessary, are not indications of the winding up of a great adventure. Gilded Latten Bones certainly brings the ghastly secrets of TunFaire's society into powerful and violent confrontations with Garrett and most all of his friends, employees (?), lovers (?) and enemies, and doesn't really have to mean a summing up, a finale. To anyone who has read all, or any, of the previous Garrett, P. I. novels, this is, I think, one of the best. Maybe Garrett has grown (up?), but he is still loyal, confused, loving, and brave for all the right people and all the right reasons. This is one reader who is already waiting for the next great adventure. Hopefully, soon. (One final note: I don't know who his cover artist is, but I believe the same one has been creating the clever and striking covers since Sweet Silver Blues. Excellent covers. They really interpret Garrett's reality.)

0399156879I consider the In Death books to be an almost perfect mixture of intrigue, police procedural, romance, humor and heartwarming moments. Opening each book is, for me, a lot like stopping by to visit old friends - the kind of friends I really enjoy spending time with. I love Eve. I love Roarke. I love Peabody. And I like and enjoy renewing my acquaintance with just about everyone else in this world, too. Even after more than 30 books, the series remains one of my favorites.Happily recommended.

0316074179This newest entry into the Nightside is right on par with the rest of the series. No Punches were pulled for this one. The ending was a sucker punch and a half and I can't wait for the next and last book. I love that Saintcrow doesn't write her series to drag on into the ages. They end, and they end well. THese aren't fairy tales where everyone goes home happy and content. If that's what you were looking for, move on. this series needs to be appreciated like the finest of wines. Superb!
