Beth – I haven’t yet read Martha Wells, Lois McMaster Bujold, Lisa Shearin, Michelle Sagara, wen spencer, linnea sinclair, pc hodgell, sharon lee & steve miller, patricia mckillip, or robin mckinley. Looks like my TBR pile just got a whole lot bigger!

Nicola – I started The Devil Inside. I think the premise of the book is great. I like the references to the Philly setting, cuz I used to live there and can go “oooo I know that place!” BUT I have some reservations, which I’ll share with you when I see you.

Love Lynn Viehl. Don’t have a book-specific review, but there’s an author profile by my co-blogger on Alpha Heroes.

I just finished the latest Christine Warren book. That series is another one that gets better the further into it you go. The Demon You Know is HAWT! :)

Marjorie M. Liu writes great stories. I call her a lyrical writer, because of the way her prose fills the pages. I don’t think you could go wrong with any of them. :)

I have read Urban Shaman and subsequent books. Only complaint was the most recent book taking the main characters in a direction that I didn’t really want them to go. I’ll get the next book in that series when it comes next year or so.

Wolf at the Door was a quick, fun read. It did seem more like a book in an already established universe rather than book 1. I gather that she’s re-releasing earlier books in the series. Book 2, She’s no fairie princess, is actually my favorite so far. But, as someone pointed out earlier, not as good as Briggs or Andrews.

I just finished Lara Adrian’s Midnight Awakening, Emma Holly’s Demon Daughter and JR Ward’s First black Daggerbrother book. Have Angela Knight’s Master of Wolves up next. So far they been good reads but not ones like Andrews & Briggs series, where I have baffled my husband by re-reading them as soon as I can.

You may have reviewed these in the past posts that I have got to yet. Some other books that have become keeper re-reads are Martha Wells (ile-rien series and wheel of the infinite), Lois McMaster Bujold (miles V. and sharing knife series), Lisa Shearin (magic lost, trouble found), Michelle Sagara (cast in.. series), nalini singh (psy-changeling), wen spencer, karen chance, linnea sinclair, pc hodgell, lora leigh, sharon lee & steve miller, eileen wilks, patricia mckillip, robin mckinley….

Got to go, spending too much time writing & reading on the internet rather than reading books.

Shannon – Is anyone as good as Briggs? It’s such a high bar to live up to I don’t know if it’s even worth comparing. She and Ilona Andrews are in their own category. Have you read Magic Bites and Magic Burns yet?

I read Dead Witch Walking and really liked it. I say a big yes to that one.

Wolf at the Door was a fyn read. Not great or amazing, but a run of the mill decent book. Not as good as the Briggs and Harrison books, but still worth it.
