This novel was the third in the Harry Hole series, but the first in the Oslo sequence, as the Bat and Cockroaches took place outside of Oslo. The novel was well-paced, and I enjoyed reading it the second time, as much as I did the first time. Since this is the first in the Oslo sequence, a lot of the recurring characters are introduce, such as Rakel and Oleg.
They so should have started with this book for the movies.

What a perfect series beginning full of paranormal creatures with the right amount of love, magic and utter devastation! Fast paced and the characters are really enjoyable. The author quickly pulled me in and kept me till the end and I am looking forward to the continuing story.

A long episode of X-Files
For those who are Sci-fi fans, this is a bit of a dream. It's intelligent, compiled completely through a series of 'classified' interviews with a mysterious authoritative person with no name. While the concept is a bit unoriginal and slightly lame, it's written in a militaristic tone giving a sense of realism. There is a big twist at the end that sets up the premise for the next book. Interesting - but not much else.
  
Another wonderful book in this series! Andie was truly a great character and I loved the outcome. My only quibble is that I feel the epilogue could have been longer and had more info on Andie and her paramour. Also, the title is misleading, but that's all I'm going to say. ;P A fast, fun, and thoroughly entertaining way to pass the time. Ms. Lackey created a world where I feel like I'm in it as an invisible watcher - quite a feat. :)

Holy crap!! I will honestly say I had low hopes for this book. It was on the free list I got from an author I followed. I chose to read it because the cover looked pretty awesome. Little did I know I would stay up all night reading it. I was enthralled by the story and had to know how it ended! I will be buying the second and third in the series and hopefully they will be just as amazing!

This is two books in one, first you have cowboy and the captive and then cowboy and the thief. These books are classic romance stories with a sexy slant on them. These are two novella books. These books have plenty of characters development, a strong storyline and lots of hot and steamy scenes. I can't wait to read more in this series and by this author in the future.
Highly recommended

Wow.. I love how this one brought everything together... the sisters... the guys.. the magic.. and owen's amazing yet totally crazy mother. lol All of it makes sense through this book. Only thing I don't like is that it left it where I want one more to see where they are all at in a few years lol. Especially with what happened at the end (no spoilers here). Amazing series and I'm so glad I got to read and review it.

In this sixth book in the series the characters and their relationships continue to evolve. Some for good others not so much. The quest for a safe place and survival comes full circle just as all seems lost. Colt and Dani run into another man just trying to survive and keep his family alive. He is familiar to Colt. The pilot from the plane. This is where books 1-3 and 4-6 merge. Looking forward to see what happens next.

When Percy Jackson's friend Annabeth is kidnapped, he heads to San Francisco to try to free her. But with the Titan's involved, will he make it out alive? This is the third in the Percy Jackson series, and the adventures are still mostly self-contained while building toward something big. I'm enjoying the ride and anxious to see where it all leads.

Channing Hayes' is trying to help his almost sister-in-law begin a solo stand up comic career while he recovers from the accident that took his fiancee. On the night of her big break, she vanishes. Why? Can Channing find her? The characters were enjoyable, especially Channing, but the plot was a series of events with no real detective work involved.
