Thirty-six in the Rogue Angel urban fantasy series that revolves around Annja Creed, an archeologist/TV show host who falls into one adventure after another.
My Take
Another fun and exciting adventure with the intrepid Annja. Kidnappings, torture, car and sewer chases... I'm kinda surprised the professor didn't die… I've gotten rather accustomed to her boyfriends dying. On a more solemn note, the revelations about Roux and Fiona are rather sad and make me very curious as to what might transpire in...more

The Magic Lantern actually has two stories in it, but one basically gets dropped before fifty pages in, then pulls it back in right at the end.

When Annja goes to get some information from a literature professor about the Hyde legend, she ends up getting pulled into the story of a chinese lantern that may be cursed. The pro...more

Yes, I have actually read 36 books in one series and there are plenty more that follow Magic Lantern. Yes, I continue to enjoy the fact that Annja Creed is something of a serious badass who carries Joan of Arc's Broadsword while looking to protect the innocent and just can't help but to get involved in situations where o...more

This was one of the better adventures of this series, written by a conglomeration under the name "Alex Archer." There were two things surprising about this book - the "body count" was much higher than usual, and more than the sword was used; and, it was mentioned that one of the "draws" of the TV show was that her co-host keeps losing her clothes. This had never been mentioned before in any of the dozen or so books in the series I've read, and does not make a lot of sense in the context of the s...more

What really perked this one up was the introduction of the character Fiona Pioche. Hopefully we will see her again in future books!
