Just like when Feeney became Eve’s mentor, Eve saw the potential in a young officer named Delia Peabody. Eve brought Peabody into homicide as her aide and when Peabody finally earned her Detective shield, she made Peabody her partner. They make a perfect pair working off each other’s strengths and weaknesses. The first time Eve […]
In honor of the upcoming release of Obsession in Death, here are some fun scenes between Eve and Roarke. “It’s always a pleasure watching you wake up,” he commented. “But Sometimes I wonder if you want me only for my coffee.” “Well…” She grinned at him and sipped again. “I really like the food, too.

I hesitated on this Urban Fantasy series since the main character, Charley Davidson, is a grim reaper. I had thoughts of a cloak and sickle and couldn’t imagine why everyone thought it was so entertaining. After about a dozen glowing recommendations, I downloaded an audible copy and have to agree with those reviews. Charley is snarky, witty and delightful.
The werewolves are now out to the humans. With the world watching anything that might show the danger of werewolves, any transgressions which might have been dealt with a rolled up newspaper, now require a death sentence. Killing wolves who break the rules is up the Charles, as his father’s enforcer, but killing wolves who normally would have been given a warning is wearing on Charles and his relationship with Anna is suffering for it.
Naked in Death is the first novel in the In Death series so there is nowhere better to start our spotlights than the first meetings and conversations between Eve and Roarke. In Naked in Death, Eve is investigating the murder of a Senator’s granddaughter, a high priced licensed companion, who was murdered by a […]
A little slow to start. Once we got to the adventure and the race between Iolanthe and Kyter to find the key to pull the demon Barafnir from hell, it definitely was exciting.
I was asked to review this book which is the 3rd in the series. Whatever enjoyment I had with the characters was overshadowed by the fact that I stepped into a story with it’s own world building and the author made little to no attempt to catch up late comers to the series.
As exciting as the whole werewolf politic issue is, what I love best is watching Anna and Charles trying to build their relationship. It has only been a few weeks since Charles has returned from Chicago with Anna, but he is starting to break down some of her barriers and they are strengthening their bond. They are such opposites but they are definitely mean to be together.
Kerrelyn Sparks takes us out with a bang. Russell and Jia fight each other for the honor of killing the Master Han. Once they finally decide to work together, they find they have more in common than just revenge.
Charles Cornick and Anna Latham are such opposites that they are the perfect couple. Charles brings a stability and a sense of safety to the abused woman, and Anna brings out a humanity that no one usually sees in Charles. I am loving this couple and am enjoying them as much as the Mercy Thompson series.
