Long and Short Romance Reviews review of Louise Cooper's The King's Demon

Heather gave Louise's dark fantasy tale 3.5 Books.

"This is adventure of the highest order. Political intrigue and personal agendas abound. Whom to trust? Louise Cooper has drawn a world as real and recognizable as our own, peopled with fully developed characters with all the strengths and weaknesses of their readers. The world-building and descriptions are first-rate. Sefira breaks your heart, and the terrible choices Grendon faces make this book hard to put down...I loved the characters in this story and really wanted a HEA. It was a great good-over-evil romp. The story satisfied completely. The author left herself wide open to create other tales in this wonderful world, which I definitely hope will be forthcoming. I’ll be watching!"

Romantic Times BOOK Reviews review of Janet Lane Walters' Flight

Susan Mobley gave this fantasy novel 3 Stars.

"In Walters' interesting fantasy world, magic is accepted but not openly used. Each chapter contains sections from each of the different characters' points of view, and it moves along smoothly. This series first ends nicely and leaves the reader ready to see what happens next."

Charlene Alleyne gave this fantasy novel 3 Stars.

"The characters in book one of the Far Darkness trilogy are well developed, from Danny's enthusiasm to Kara's disbelief as they learn to accept that their lives are now shared with a symbiote. This complex, well-plotted book explains how the aliens survive and multiply. Book two should prove interesting."

Cindy Himler gave this paranormal tale 3 Stars.

"This paranormal mystery is set in the world of designer coffee drinks, made by those talented baristas, which so many of us are willing to stand in line and pay high prices to enjoy. The plot is interesting enough to keep one reading, but it's the twist of having a vegan werewolf/police consultant as the crime solver that sets this story apart."

"Comparisons to Lord of the Rings are bound to arise, but Corvidae writes a more character-oriented drama. The world she creates is stunningly described and the story strongly draws the reader into the struggles of the characters to survive and save their homeland. If you're a fantasy fan, this one's perfection. If you aren't, the romance of this one will make you a fan of both genres."

Benay Weiss Reviewer review of Marilyn Meredith's Dispel The Mist

Benay Weiss, reviewer, said:

"Dispel the Mist has an exciting and gripping conclusion that brings Native American myth alive with unexpected deus ex machina. Like all good mythology, it has real history and truth at its core. This is a great way to spend a few hours. While the book stands on its own, I recommend that you read the entire series."
