So what is the big deal about Harry Potter?  The Morales family wonders about that, and after a challenge from his divorcee girlfriend, Sal agrees to check the books out and read them with his children.  This is only the beginning of a strange tale filled with magic and miracles. 

This is a cute, little book make up of three novellas all about Fae who have decided they prefer life among Humans rather than in their magical Enclaves.

In the Awakening we find Christine traveling to Scotland to locate the third Immortal, Kalen. Christine arrives in time to save Kalen from making a terrible mistake. Unfortunately, it puts Christine in the line of fire of a crazy half-Sidhe. Like fighting demons and immortals weren't enough!

The beginning of a new series, this book does a great job of introducing the Forsyths and the mystery that surrounds what happened to them one fateful evening in 1747. When the Forsyth brothers approach Valoren seeking to save their sister and the gypsies living there, something odd happens.

A fantasy setting that mixes medieval and modern type settings. Doesn't sound like it should work, but Patricia Briggs works her magic and makes this storyline a page  turner.

Phantom Pleasures is the first in a paranormal series by Julie Leto.  It's a good start.  I enjoyed the main characters and the "supporting" characters as well.  Also, the evil K'vr and the division of them into two factions is interesting and will be interesting as it plays out in future books.  Good story.

And they lived happily everafter or at least until our wonderful Yelena gets herself into another adverture.

Snyder has done it again. Hope she keeps them coming. She's able to draw you into the story and make it real. You can feel the magic, the fear, the love and the triumphs.

A wonderful first novel. Couldn't put it down. Kept me up reading into the night just to see what would happen next.
