I love paranormal and urban fantasy. No matter how many times I get burned I keep going back to the well. I will even keep going with a series until I reach a point of self loathing – please see last year’s review of this series. Kim Harrison’s The Hollows series came recommended by the lovely Malin, and when Malin makes a recommendation, you should at least give it a try. Malin’s recommendation came shortly before the final book of the series was published. I […]

Rachel is working security for Trent while Quen is on the West Coast. Despite her many former misgivings about working for and with the billionaire, she’s been enjoying herself, possibly a bit too […]
