Jean Johnson

Evanor has lost his voice but will the prophecy offer him salvation?

Score: 4.5

I had a little trouble getting into this book at first but after a few chapters it started taking off. There are going to be eight books in this series. There are eight brothers who are four sets of twins and each of them will have their own story. This book is about Saber who is the eldest of the brothers.

Third in the Nightfall series. An exiled brother is chosen by a woman in need to help her complete a perious task.

Second in the Nightfal series. The second brother meets his match in a girl who knew before the brothers were all exiled.

Not as good as the first, but still a fun romp in a series with a lot of promise.

The first book in Johnson's Nightfall series -- Kelly Doyle is saved from a terrible fire by a mysterious mage, and finds herself in a fantasy world on an island with eight brothers -- and no women.

A good start to a new series by a debut author.

Four  holiday stories that will warm your heart and tickle your funny bone. Maggie Shayne give new meaning to here's your sign in Melting Frosty. Erin McCarthy weaves a magical tale in Charlottes Web. Nalini Sigh gives shape-shifting an interesting thrum in Beat of Temptation. And Jean Johnson gives the story the the three kings a face lift in Gifts of the Magi.

A terrific anthology, to be honest - and an even better surprise because I wasn't expecting much. (Oct 2, 2007 Berkley Trade).
