It is easy to write a couple of paragraphs when you finish each book. But if you let the books build up and still not in the mood to write, you are in trouble. That’s why this nice Easter Sunday, I am forcing myself to write. Here it goes:
“Obsidian Prey” (Ghost Hunters, Book 6) by Jayne Castle was one of my recent favorites. Lyra an amber tuner and Cruz an amber miner had their problems in the past including a failed law suit. But when Cruz comes asking for help, Lyra has to help him, if only to save innocent lives.
I love Ms. Castle’s writing style. Her plots are uncomplicated but smooth and absorbing. It also helps that all her books have happy-endings. So good for the soul!
“Covet” (Fallen Angels, Book 1) by J. R. Ward was another of her artificially slanged stories. Although the plot and story was solid and attractive, the foul artificial language may bore a person out of her frigging mind!
Jim Heron has a near-death experience and becomes a fallen angel, a soldier in battle of Good and Evil. His first assignment is to help Vin a money-hungry realstate mogul make the right choice. The other characters are a gold-hearted hooker, four angels in the sky playing golf in crisp white linen pants, two tough pierced field agents and a beautiful seductive woman. If Ms. Ward had stopped her crazy lingo, this book was one to recommend!
“Truly, Madly” by Heather Webber was a cute mystery romance with a hint of paranormal. Lucy’s family are matchmakers who use auras to match people. The only exception is Lucy who has developed other talents. When a client reveals his past, Lucy decides to make things better for him with the help of her family and a cute private investigator.
A trilogy by Mindy Klasky, “Girl's Guide To Witchcraft”, “Sorcery And The Single Girl” and “Magic And The Modern Girl” are about Jane a librarian who rent a cottage and finds a stack of magic books, a Familiar and a cute Warder. The first book is about Jane learning self respect and worth. The second one is about how she looks for acceptance and approval and the third is about her relationship with others and lessons in being responsible. Aside from these life lessons, the books are nice, simple and well written if a little lacking in entertainment value.
And finally, the best for the last: “Imager's Challenge” The Second Book of the Imager Portfolio by L. E. Modesitt Jr.
I loved it, adored it, and savored it! OK, too much gushing! But it was goooood!
Rhenn is starting to patrol the city and his enemies are trying to trap and destroy him. The Imager’s Collegium can not publicly help him. His Family is in danger. His only allies are the family of his girlfriend and his powers and what new friends he can make.
It is a complicated, sometimes detailed; story but you get to enjoy every word.
