This could be a perfectly good paranormal cozy if a competent editor or two got their hands on it. As is, it’s full of typos, punctuation errors, wrong/missing words, bad grammar, and awkward dialogue. At least it was free and a quick read. I might be a little bitter if I’d paid money for it. (Rea...

Hit and miss. I found "Galatea and Pygmalion" by Kate Danley to be a rather interesting take on the Greek myth. The story makes good use of gender roles and storytelling. "Princess Charming" by Yasmine Galenorn was the best tale in the collection. I love the use of letter writing and the solutions t...

Okay, for the first... quarter, almost, I was fairly sure this is going to be one of my rare did-not-finish books. It was a real struggle to read, largely because of Zoe, the protagonist and one of the most stupid people ever to grace the pages of a book.She really annoyed the hell out of me with he...

I am hesitant about rating this book. It was redundant and explained everything using pop references that will date the book. She established certain things that the beginning of the book that suddenly changed at the end. One example is Zoe's ability to be solid while out of her body. In the beginni...

These books...I honestly do not know what to think about them. Or why I keep reading them when they frustrate me so. I had many of the same problems with this book as I had with the previous two in the series: scenes written in a confusing manner, characters I can't connect with, use of cutesy wor...

The story in this one looked so promising, but it's written in such a cutesy way and the main 'heroin' (for lack of a better word) is so moronic and immature I could barely stand it. All the characters are totally flat and for the most-part unlikeable. The last third I actually just skimmed throug...

Actual rating 2.5 stars. *shakes head* These books confuse me. I liked this one about as much as the first one, and wasn't planning on continuing the series. Yet, the author managed to sort of draw me back in with the last 50 pages or so. :- | I hate it when books end with a cliffhanger. The part ...

Is this the best collection of fairy tale retellings? No. The book is about half good and half bad. Stand out stories include:"Shall We Dance" by C. S. Friedman. This is story has a very good line about dung. Honest."Bitter Fruit" by Rosemary Edgehill. The type of spooky story you have to read...

Actual rating: 2.5 stars (The last 30 pages or so earned it the extra half star.) This book...the premise was intriguing, but I felt the execution was somewhat lacking. I think one of my main problems was that the overall tone of the book didn't match the subject matter. It's like the book could...
