Upcoming Reviews

Our upcoming reviews include Jane Bites Back by Michael Thomas Ford and Predatory Angel by Shaylynn Black each story suits different needs. Jane Bites Back is clever and witty while I'm guessing Predatory Angel is more action than romance, really. We'll see.


Jane Bites Back by Michael Thomas Ford


Description
"Ford's (Last Summer) fang-tastic satire of the Jane Austen craze catches up with Elizabeth Jane Fairfax, the undead 233-year-old author and owner of an upstate New York book store. She's disgusted by the Pride and Prejudice knockoffs that fly out of her store (poor Jane hasn't seen a royalty check in almost 200 years), and her last manuscript's been rejected by 116 publishers. Things start to look up when she finally gets a deal for the book, but two problems arise as she's promoting Constance: Lord Byron, who turned Jane, wants her back; and Violet Grey, a vitriolic Brontë blogger, accuses Jane of stealing Charlotte Brontë's last unsold manuscript. Ford's Jane is a very fun and funny heroine to root for as she endures the indignities of publishing and bookselling, fends off danger and (perhaps) finds love. Her hilarious smack downs with Violet hint of more madness to come in this first of a series." -Amazon.com


If I had to review on the spot:


This books seems really fun and clever. I've picked it up but haven't got the chance to read it cover to cover yet because of life and school. Currently on page 28 and enjoying the read, so far I'd give this a good review. Let's wait and see how this book goes. Stay tune for the review.

Predatory Angel by Shaylynn Black

Description

"Catya hunts the beast that has been dumping bodies and terrorizing her city. She has done so night after night for the last eight years. Little does she know that tonight is the night that everything changes. Tonight is the night that she meets Christian, who is a vampire, her mortal enemy. She must escape him before he realizes what she is, but she finds herself too drawn to him to leave. Before she knows it, she is fighting at his side, for not only her life, but his as well. They can only depend on hope to get them through the bloody battle ahead. The only question is, will they make it out alive?" -Amazon.com

If I had to review on the spot:

I've honestly tried picking this book up several times and each time I haven't been able to enjoy it. I don't know if it's the writing style or all the questions I keep encountering while reading this book. If I had to review it right now...it probably wouldn't get that great of a review only because I've tried reading the bloody thing so many times without being able to get past the first  few chapters or so. I'm going to try it again during my winter break...and if I don't like it, I'll voice it.
