Buy World Without End


I LOVED this book, savored every moment, was sad when it was done, and wish there was a third sequel. The characters are wonderfully developed, the plots and sub plots are so beautifully intricate, it's like a tapestry. I could not put it down.Get more detail about World Without End.

Buying Every Which Way But Dead (The Hollows, Book 3)


I really like the whole world that Kim Harrison has created for these books. She manages to get a nice scene set and create a nice mental picture for you without droning on like some authors tend toward. I'm not going to give a rundown of the plot because pretty much everyone on here has already done that. However, I will say that the one flaw with these books, which is a personal pet peeve, is that the main character is weak. Not as in she has no power or can't do anything but sort emotionally or mentally, in the sense that so far in the last three books she never actually uses her potential power and even when she does fight or use her magic she's constantly worried that she may have hurt someone. I mean seriously, Francis would have been happy to see her dead and made it obvious but she was constantly trying to keep him from getting hurt and then was horrified when he died. At this point she's not ever actually done anything impressive. If it wasn't for her friends she would have been dead a long time ago. She just doesn't come across as being very bright at all. I mean really, she goes into the lair of a Master Vampire without any actual plan and then when she gets lucky enough to stop him from killing her she only wants to put him in jail knowing he can pretty much have her killed whenever he wants? Real bright... Seriously, at least have the main character save her own butt now and then without it being just pure luck...Get more detail about Every Which Way But Dead (The Hollows, Book 3).

Cheap Male Call - Hot Zone Book 1


As a military spouse I found the book similar to what I have gone through in the early part of Iraqi Freedom. While it was kind of like reading someone's mail sent to his girlfriend, it brought back memories. I enjoyed it. I do see however, that it is not for everyone, so you might not like it. It's also on the short side. But at it's price, I feel it would be a safe bet that you would not feel jipped by taking a chance on it.Get more detail about Male Call - Hot Zone Book 1.

Save A Mighty Fortress


I enjoyed the previous books in the series, and many of Weber's other books, but I've noticed that the series is getting bogged down. I have to agree with most of the other reviews that he could have cut this down and made a much more interesting book. I'll agree with the other comments on the quality of the Kindle rendition, perhaps next time I'll try it on B&N since I read on a PC tablet I can choose my reader. I'll definitely wait until the next book has dropped in price before buying and even then perhaps wait until there are some reviews.Get more detail about A Mighty Fortress.

Discount Midnight Falls: Children of the Goddess, Book 4


RG Alexander always writes with a lyrical, sensual voice, and Midnight Falls is no different! I love her Children of the Goddess series, and although I hate to think of it coming to an end I was eager to read this story. It definitely didn't disappoint! Beautiful prose, sizzling sex scenes, and lovely imagery-a must read!Get more detail about Midnight Falls: Children of the Goddess, Book 4.

Lowest Price The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao


This easily entered my top five. The writing is amazing, story compelling and characterization authentic. After reading some reviews I realize that it is a book that you either "get" or don't. That's too bad because it truly is an amazing novel. Pulitzer well deserved.Get more detail about The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao.
