Odd Thomas
Dean Koontz
Bantam, 2006
What an interesting protagonist Odd is!
+ Koontz' best character
+ Excellent as always
Book 1 is my favorite Odd Thomas book, to-date. Awesome story with a memorable character. I thought about Odd long after I put the book down, and it definitely made me want to read more. I started on Forever Odd (book 2) the same evening.
Dean Koontz has created a very interesting character and ...

Fantasy Lover (Dark-Hunter, Book 1)
Sherrilyn Kenyon
St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2002
Cute and a good begining
What I found with this series was this first book was cute but lacked some of the excitement of the later books. I think it's a good starting point for the series. I love how the other books build upon this first story. They only get better and better as you read on.

A Girl's Guide to Vampires
Katie Macalister
Love Spell, 2003
A Delicious Escape
+ Great read
This book is delightful. I was drawn to this title because I am a huge fan of contemporary vampire romance with some comedy thrown in for good measure. The sex scenes are erotic, and the characters are fascinating yet grounded. The heroine, Joy, is a real woman with insecurities about her height, ...

Storm Front (The Dresden Files, Book 1)
Jim Butcher
Roc, 2000
They get better
+ Fun Read
+ First time reading this author
I really liked this book, because it combined the genres that I love; Fantasy, and mystery. The first book was good, but I found the dialogue a little cliche, however I have read the 2nd book and can tell you that they get better as you progress through the series. Definitely a must read for anyone ...

Urban Shaman (The Walker Papers, Book 1)
C.E. Murphy
Luna, 2005
Likable heroine and Celtic myth make for a pleasant read
+ Urban Shaman
+ Really Fun Series filled with Sarcasm
C.E. Murphy's heroine Joanne Walker (aka Shioban Walkingstick) brings to the Urban Shaman the one thing that is so important for a first person urban fantasy heroine and that is a good 'voice'. Joanne's inner dialog is entertainingly sacarstic and she is likable enough that you'll care what happens ...

I've read a lot of urban fantasy. Especially the kind with the tougher than nails women in cities full of vamps and werewolves . . . and this seemed like another one of the same. I was pleasantly surprised to find it's not. Oh it's got a tough female lead--Kate Daniels is a merc dealing with all ...
