 My pick of the month:
Crimson and Steam by Liz Maverick ($17.95 RRP)
This book has been a long time coming for those who have followed the Crimson City Series. This series is hot & with the contribution of several authors, including Marjorie M Liu, it doesn’t grow stale. This time the tale revolves around Marius and Jill. Marius is a Vampire and Jill the human woman who has waited a very long time to be with him. But the political subplot requires that he marry another, as the Head of the House of Dumont – enter Tatiana – a Werewolf.. While it is the 8th book in this series it continues with an unmistakable style. You may prefer to read the series from the beginning though so that you understand the characters, were they come from and how they have evolved.
I rate this one 5 stars all the way.
A Little About Genres:
This month, focus on how to choose a book that caters to your needs. Are you into the Paranormal romance or is the romance part less important to you? If the romantic part is only an underlying thread in your favourite books, then perhaps you need to look at Urban Fantasy. Traditionally these are books that have a strong paranormal story and the romance is usually secondary. Many of these are series, so you don’t have to say goodbye to your favourite characters straight away. For Paranormal books – try authors such as Sherrilyn Kenyon, Christine Feehan or even Anya Bast. Looking for a new author in the Urban Fantasy section? Why not have a look at Karen Chance, Stacey Jay or even LJ Smith.
What about a bit of action and adventure? Then the Romantic Suspense is the best bet. There is nothing like strong
