Author Charlaine Harris does a great job keeping the reader enchanted. This was one fun ride! Sookie Stackhouse is a real heroine - even though she does have this "disability".
And the woman on the front of the cover - isn't that Anna - from the TV series "V"?? Sure looks like her....

This is the first book by Martha Wells I've read. She does a great job of telling the story, keeping the reader turning pages to see what happens next! It's apparent she has done quite a bit of research of the 17th and 18th century of Old England, as that is what I gathered from the way the story is written, that she based it upon, giving different names for the countries, and languages. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves fantasy.

Great story! If you liked Independence Day, you'll like this story. Dietz creates an exciting sci-fi thriller with non-stop action with many levels of social and psychological study of not only humans but the aliens, as well. A tale of the determination of the human race to survive and overcome no matter what the odds! A must-read for anyone who loves a good sci-fi story.

Exciting political mystery. Each time I thought I knew who the "bad" guy was, I was surprised to find I was mistaken. Great thriller, kept me on my toes, causing me to keep turning the pages to find out what was next!
Highly recommended!

While this story kept me reading, I'll have to say it wasn't as good a story as the other stories I've read by Mr. Rollins; i.e. "Map of Bones", "Black Order", "Sandstorm", or "Ice Hunt". That said, I do recommend this to anyone who likes a fast paced action/thriller story.

The story idea is good: it has mystery, deals with sex trade, death, and sweet love. Unfortunately, it just couldn't keep my interest. So after reading 1/2 the story, I decided I'd find another that I'd be interested in. So on to the bookshelf it goes.

Yet another wonderful & exciting (not to mention educational!) book from Mr. Rollins! This is definitely a page turner - full of intrigue, this story will keep you on the edge of your seat. You'll not want to put it down!

When one of the world's greatest heros ends up brutally murdered, the story gets really interesting. Especially since there seems to be no evidence!
A fun fantasy/mystery that kept me reading from the first page.

Dragon Venom, the third and final book in the Obsidian Chronicles is a great ending for the trilogy. As with the first two, the story keeps the reader enthralled, and in my case, not wanting to put the book down, yet on the other hand not being in a big hurry to reach the end.
In the Obsidian Chronicles, Lawrence Watt-Evens takes a surprising turn in the way he describes dragons and their actions. If you like fantasy, and in particular stories about dragons, you'll like this trilogy!

This story keeps the reader guessing! There are so many twists and suspense, when you think you know "who done it" something else comes up to trip up that theory!
Michael Connelly keeps you glued to the book - you find yourself looking for excuses to continue reading!
Highly recommended!

A lot of imagination went into this story of a primitive people who believe their lives are controlled by a god. A choice group finds out otherwise when they are selected by their "god" to be judged. This story is one of those that makes the reader think of our own culture and question everything we take for granted..... A thought provoking book!

Wow! One more excellent story by Mr. Rollins. Another page turner, this story will keep you on the edge of your seat page by page. I envy authors like Mr. Rollins - just how do they come up with these wonderful, exciting stories?
Highly recommended!

This is the first book by Tim Lebbon I've read. But if the others are like this one, I won't be reading them. The story has many twists and turns, but I found it very hard to keep reading it. In fact, during the time I was reading it, I took a break from it and read two others! I finally finished it, only because I bought it new! Not the kind of fantasy I enjoy. Others may like it tho, so take my review with a grain of salt, folks.

A wonderful, exciting finale to Ms. Snyder's trilogy! There is a lot in this story, like the two before it: fun, excitement, magic, & a bit of romance. What more could a reader ask for?
The author keeps the reader interested from the first page to the last. Hard to put down.

I just have to say WOW!! This is my type of novel - it educates while it entertains. Quite ambitious in its scope & greatly satisfying in its execution. It not only keeps the reader enthralled, it forces the reader to keep reading. Highly addictive and hard to put down.
When I read a novel of this type, it always amazes me how the author can come up with such an awesome, realistic story.
Most readers will be happy they chose this novel to read!

This is a riveting story that, in my opinion, closes the gap between fantasy and sci-fi. Even though it falls under the category of Si-fi, it could easily be categorized as fantasy. The Cycle: Volume 1 contains the first three books in the series and was a treat to read them all as one volume. The authors have done a great job of creating an alien world similar to, but different from, ours. The main character is somehow propelled into this alien world after a meteor strikes the Mediterranean cruise ship he is vacationing on killing everyone aboard. However, he then awakens, not only realizing he's alive, but finding himself lying face down in a desert with a large cat-like animal stalking him!
The action begins there and pulls the reader along with him into the intriguing and strange, yet somehow familiar world in which he finds himself!

I enjoyed reading this story. It kept me interested, and wanting to read more to see what was going to happen.
The plot was well written, the characters believable. Mr. Reilly wrote it in a way that makes the reader believe the premise behind the story could actually happen!
A real page turner, I highly recommend it.

Kelly Armstrong tells a great story. With her imagination, she takes the reader into the world of the afterlife where folks who've died "live" in their ghost world. Full of adventure, this exciting book will keep the reader turning pages to see what happens next! I heartily recommend this to the readers who like fantasy, supernatural, and adventure stories.

I enjoy the ABC series "Castle", so when I found there were books out there by "Richard Castle" I had to get one. This one is a good story; similar to the series, the detective, Nikki Heat, has a civilian journalist tagging along on a crime investigation. True to the series, the reader is kept guessing who the culprit or culprits could be until the very end.
Full of wit and a bit of sex, it is a good read, although not as good as watching the Castle series on TV.
Doubt if I will read any more Nikki Heat novels.(But one never knows....)

I'm the type of reader who loves a story that "grabs me" right off the bat. This story just didn't fit that at all. Ms. Hooper did fill most of the story with little hints that pretty much drags the reader on, hoping something will happen soon. The trouble is, while it's good to read about the characters so the reader knows a bit about them, the "something" you were hoping to happen didn't start showing itself until into the 20th chapter - and there's only 22 chapters to this book!
I'm sure the author has her followers, and more than likely will like this latest book of hers, but for me - I think I'll just stay away from her books. :o(
