This is another wordy one. I can appreciate the description of the location and a paragraph about some inane events that don't matter much, but lead into the good stuff. But damn, I just wanted to get to the action already! I wouldn't call this a romance. I'm not sure why so many people have labeled...

Urban Shaman began well, with an interesting humorous character and an intriguing situation right off the bat. A side character, Gary, is also introduced early and he is often a humor and bright spot in the book. However, the beginning was better than the rest of the book and I found myself a bit bo...

Finally! This dog lover gets a book with a dog. Ok, it is *really*Coyote, but if Joanne can call him ‘dog’, that is good enough for me. ;)This book starts off with a bang. Joanne, exhausted, with contacts stuck to her eyeballs, is airborne and returning home from Ireland. From the plane, she sees a ...

Listening to audiobookDid not finish.I just couldn't get into the characters. I tried and made it about 3/4 of the way through. I had to stop when I noticed myself not paying attention in the lest. Something would come up and I was like "what is going on" and it was because I wasn't paying attent...

My biggest problem with this book is that it’s a first person narrative that doesn’t understand the restrictions of that narrative type. See I figured out who Herne’s (the antagonist) human disguise was the second time we met him. And since that was about halfway through the novel I had to suffer a...

2.5 stars but I rounded up.This book was so/so. I think because I enjoyed the Negotiator Trilogy (rather, the two I have read so far anyway) so much, I had high expectations for this book as well. And it fell a little flat. It's not that it was bad, really, just not as good to me. I understand the m...

Urban Fantasy at it's finest! Jo Walker is a smart mouthed, intelligent, quick thinking character whose exploits made for some enjoyable reading time. I have had this series in mind to read for years and just kept putting it off, with the latest book releasing soon decided it was time to start as ha...

4.5/5Habia postergado leer este libro porque habia leido hace un par de años algo parecido y erroneamente lo confundia con este. Bueno, creo que es algo común que nos pasará a muchos con las tramas en el mundo de la PR y UF. Como sea, la lectura me gustó mucho, acción y un tema que me gusta Coyote y...

This book was not for me. I have had this series on my radar for maybe 3 years but kept delaying starting it. I wish I would have started it 3 years ago, perhaps I would have enjoyed it more. It is really hard to write unique urban fantasy and I think this may be unfair of me to judge this story a...

Joanne Walker - or Siobhan Walkingstick - is a rational woman. A sensible woman, a practical mechanic, she has very little to do with woo-woo of any kind and seems to have developed and aversion to it. Along with shunning anything paranormal, Joanne spends much of her life running from her past, an...
