The Lodge of the Lynx (The Adept, Book 2) 10 reviews
Katherine Kurtz, Deborah Turner Harris
Severn House Pub Ltd, 1993
Great occult mystery
I love occult fiction and a friend recommended the Adept series to me because he knew I liked Dion Fortune's fiction. Unlike Fortune's fiction, this novel won't gift you with verses for your rituals, but it certainly captures the feeling of the astral realms and the battle of good versus evil. Okay, so the hero is wealthy and lives a life of luxury we can only imagine, but, hey, this is a ...

Clive Cussler
Severn House Pub Ltd, 1986
Excellent Book!
Nobody writes em like Clive Cussler...sort of like James Bond meets Jacque Cousteau. Excellent book for history and science lovers...and there is always a twist...can you spot Clive Cussler's character in the book? I love that part...he always inserts himself into his work. I know of no other author who does that. Hope you enjoy the read! This is my 2nd time around :o)

Judith McNaught
Severn House Pub Ltd, 1990
Absolutely could not put it down
McNaught has a knack for making you fall in love with her characters. I feel as though I know them so well and I become so engaged with her books for that reason...I become emotionally invested in the outcome of the characters. My only complaint about this one is that the ending was too abrupt. After going through so many struggles for so long, it just ended too quickly. But I still ...

Stinger48 reviews
Robert R. McCammon
Severn House Pub Ltd, 1994
"Predator" + "Tremors" + a little "West Side Story" = "Stinger"
First and foremost, Robert McCammon is a terrific horror writer who has yet to write a weak book in this reviewer's humble opinion. The only problem with McCammon is that he doesn't write enough books. With that being said, let me cover a little about this gem of a horror ride.
"Stinger" hits the ground running with a story that starts out about rival gangs pitted against each other in the ...

Alan Dean Foster
Severn House Pub Ltd, 1989
Fun Read
I just finished re-reading the book again for the umpteenth time. As always it was a great read, I really enjoy the Flinx series in the common wealth. Flinx is such an interesting character to watch develop. Just a note as to the comments below that the author is not going to be writing any more Flinx novels, that is untrue. Another one will be out latter this year(2000), or early next (It is ...

Judith McNaught

Its make you laugh and cry at the same time.
This is my all time favorite book. I own every McNaught, Balogh, Garwood, and Dodd book, but I have to admit that Judith McNaught is my all time favorite writer. Whitney, My Love is the first book I've ever read of hers. Her writing style is absolutely captivating. It made my laugh with joy- my heart clench with sorrow. I've read many historical romances, and I can say that not many, if any at ...

A Wild Ride
As always, getting into a new book is slow going...when I started this book, I didn't think I was going to be able to really "get into it" after the first few pages....WOW was I wrong! This book is so fully of passion, drama, humor...I couldn't put it down. You will fall in love with the characters and hate to see this book end...you MUST buy this and read it!!

Centaur Aisle32 reviews
Piers Anthony
Severn House Pub Ltd, 1997
Centaur Aisle is a great book.
I highly recommend this book! I have read most of the Xanth Series by Mr. Anthony and would recommend it as a necesary step in the evolution of Xanth and the understanding of the land and its people. These are the key characters who set the stage for all of the future books. The twists in the plot and the fun of what Magic (albeit funny Magic) might be like in Mundania are hilariously, exotically ...

exhilarating Ashton anti-terrorism thriller
In London in a chic Italian restaurant, someone enters and opens fire; a massacre occurs. Among the dead is a mid level British SIS intelligence agent. The SIS encourages the local police to think it is a drug deal gone bad with collateral damage as they want the incident buried immediately.
While the police seem to be willing to accept the SIS explanation of the bloody event, internal ...

fun story w/ great dialogue
I've always been a sucker for the stories where someone disembles, and here is a good one. Though not my favorite, I will probably still reread it because the interactions between Megan and Devlin were so much fun to read. There was definitely a lot of tension between them which lead to multiple funny lines and moments that made me laugh outloud. Though I do think it dragged once they decided ...

The Blood of Roses30 reviews
Marsha Canham
Severn House Pub Ltd, 1991
Beautifully Romantic, but also Devastatingly Tragic
If you like an ending where every character lives happily ever after, "The Blood of Roses" is not for you. But if you like historical romances that follow true history, this book will knock you off your chair.
FIRST, A WARNING:
This book is the sequel to The Pride of Lions. If you have not read "The Pride" yet, don't read "The Blood of Roses" or even the rest of this review yet. Go right ...

THE GREATEST LOVE STORY I'VE EVER READ!!
This was my second book by Karen Robards (the first being Paradise County) and I can already say, it will be my favorite! A friend recommended this to me and she was absolutely right in doing so! The story of Anna and Julian left me completely dazzled. It usually takes me a few weeks to read a novel of this size, solely due to time issues; but I finished this one in exactly 3 days!! I could ...

It kept me on the edge of my seat
This was an exciting, action-packed story that held me captivated until the mystery was resolved in the end. I have a strong appreciation for the descriptive style of writing Sandra Brown used in this story, which added greatly to my enjoyment of the book! Well-done!

Atmostpheric and Fun
I've read this book several times. I love coming back to it after a couple of years and enjoying it all over again. The best thing about Elizabeth Peters/B Michaels is that she creates a cozy atmostphere, with every day occurences (such as eating lunch...sleeping...,) yet, there are not so every day occurences thrown in - ghosts, etc. It makes it feel like is business as usual to suspect that ...
