Let's start with a personal fact: Midlife Bounty Hunter was the first full book of Shannon Mayer that I've ever read. I did, prior to the launch of that Paranormal Women's Fiction novel, read a short story by the Canadian writer, but this was a first novel. The truth? It got me hooked from the... Continue Reading →
Reader’s Life – Rare brain overload
It seriously very rarely happens to me. Maybe it is because I've been sick most of last week and still need to reboot my energy levels. Maybe it's because my stupid glasses are making me dizzy (darned bifocals!). Who knows why? But it so happens that my brain is overloaded. Too many books nearly at... Continue Reading →
Second Chance Magic – Strength in numbers
They say that strength comes in numbers, and the adage has been proven true in Michelle M. Pillow's Second Chance Magic, her first Paranormal Women's Fiction novel. Another thing that is certain, before talking about this book in itself, is that I am a huge fan of Michelle's books. Indeed, I haven't been reading her... Continue Reading →
It’s a Wonderful Midlife Crisis – Wonderful in many ways
If this reading has been the one that took me the longest, last week, it was not because of the story; it seriously was because of the gastroenteritis (and the sleep and everything that came with it). Because Robyn Peterman's It's a Wonderful Midlife Crisis was a terrific read. I have to say that I... Continue Reading →
Betwixt – Darynda’s way
I have to start this with a confession: until early last summer, I did not know who Darynda Jones was. To be fair, I did not know any of the Fab13. Crazy how a reader's life works, no? In Darynda's case, I started reading Charley Davidson thanks to a friend of mine, to whom I... Continue Reading →
Suddenly Psychic – A first ARC
Upon my reading of the Fab13's books, I've also had the chace to do my first ARC review ever. What a book this was! It so happened that Elizabeth Hunter's team was looking for people to read and review an advance reading copy (ARC) of Suddenly Psychic. I signed up and ended up being one... Continue Reading →
Cloudy With a Chance of Withcraft – Righting wrongs
The first book of the Fab13 that I've read on the day of the launch is Cloudy With a Chance of Withcraft, by Mandy M. Roth. If you don't know Mandy, she is one of the queens of urban fantasy. I haven't been reading her for very long (a matter of months), but I recognise... Continue Reading →
Paranormal Women’s Fiction
Over the last few days, I have been completely immersed in a whole bunch of new books. If their genre is nothing new to readers, their way of coming all together to make it trend is like a breath of fresh air in the paranormal/romance fiction world. Who are they? The Fab13. Thirteen great writers:... Continue Reading →
