The 5th Horseman
+ 5th Horseman + 5th horsemen review
The 5th Horseman, like the other books in James Patterson's Women's Murder Club series, is an exciting and very well written novel. It keeps your interest constantly and is a hard one, once again, to put down. I recommend this entire series if you like a fast paced exciting read.

When reading a series, it helps to read ALL of the series

I was looking for information about a new Ariel Gold book when I found and was completely surprised at the negativity of these reviews posted on Amazon.com of this fourth book (Blindspot) in the series.

Sister Noon 18 reviews Karen Joy Fowler
Plume, 2002
History and Mystery Unite in This Fascinating Novel
+ Very Victorian Californians + Odd and interesting
The major strength of this novel is its eerily evocative prose. Fowler is one of those writers who makes novel-writing seem effortless. In addition, her writing style and stories are unique because of the seamless way she blends fact with fiction. This particular novel takes place in San Francisco ...

Vampire Watcher's Handbook: A Guide for Slayers 6 reviews Craig Glenday
St. Martin's Griffin, 2003
Good to have if you ever visit Transylvania
+ Vampires Are Real! Prepare yourself! + Great Vampire Info
This book has a lot of information in easy to read format. The blood stains and tears make it a lot more realistic. Is it The Vampire Encyclopedia, or The Vampire Book? Well, no. But it is a nice handbook to have if you want to get straight to the point (say, if you're being attacked by vampires ...

Aftershocks 4 reviews Richard S. Wheeler
Forge, 1999
Comparable to Jack London's work.
Richard Wheeler's novels are the richest and most humanistic to be found among today's writers of the American West. Aftershocks, a story set in the tumult of the San Francisco earthquake and fire of 1906, is reminiscent of Jack London's character-rich tales, such as The Valley of the Moon and ...
