pnr/urban-fantasy/fantasy/sci-fi: Carrie Vaughn’s Kitty
Kitty’s House of Horror, 5-2-10
young adult: TBD
3) Spree Series Killer (1+ book):
Totally new author.
First Try: Anton Strout’s Simon Canderous: Dead to Me, 4-30-10 Didn’t care for it, slow starter.
Second Try: Terry Spear’s Wolf Series: Heart of the Wolf Haven’t been able to finish first book, don’t think it’s a keeper
Third Try: Devon Monk’s Allie Beckstrom: Magic to the Bone, 6-2-10 We have a winner! I found the price of using magic interesting and have already ordered the second book in the series.
4) Author-ican Psycho (1 book)
Retry an author. Hmmm. I read the first couple of Lori Handeland’s Moon books, but I just couldn’t get into them and didn’t care enough to follow up on the series. But recently I was eyeing the Phoenix Chronicles and wondering if they were any good. This is just the excuse I need to go buy more books!
Lori Handeland’s Phoenix Chronicles: Any Given Doomsday, 5-10
I have reservations, but I enjoyed this enough that I ordered the next book and it’s currently sitting on my TBR pile.
5) Dr. Hannibal Lecturer (1 book):
Praised books, Rob Thurman’s Cal Leandros: Nightlife, 6-4-10
I’ve heard a lot about this series. I had a little trouble getting into this one and if it hadn’t been for the opening sequence making me wonder how the characters got to that point, I’d probably not have finished it yet. About 2/3 of the way through it picked up for me and then I had no trouble finishing.
6) The Book Strangler (1+ books):
An entire series. TBD. I’ve got the first three Ice books by Anne Stuart in my TBR, I think there are about 6 all together now. So I may pick those for this category.
7) 3rd Degree (3 books):
Trilogy, TBD.
