review 1: I found this book, like the first, vastly entertaining with a plot that moves and characters that resonate. Having taken a class on Shakespeare way back in undergrad, perhaps I am more amiable toward the concept and the integration of the play plot lines and the zombies. This b...

review 1: If your whole existence was killing werewolves and you suddenly became one but no one would kill you to put you out of your misery what would you do? If your whole mission in life was to torture and then kill the woman that had killed your wife but you find instead that desire ov...

review 1: I really liked the Aztec mythology addition to this one. I'm big on hieroglyphs and the like so this one was a lot of fun. Of course Edward eventually makes an appearance so that is another necessity. I can say that I felt that while the beginning hooked me in almost from the fir...

review 1: I had a slow start with this book, but eventually it got rolling. It is an interesting take on my favorite sonnet. At least the love interest is based on the sonnet. Some of the ideas are cheesy, such as Shakespeare thinking up the wizard of oz and star wars, but those things ...

review 1: The story had potential but I feel the use of sex and rape degrades the protagonist's abilities. Her sex appeal becomes the center of her powers and reduces her to an object, not so much a warrior capable of leading an army like she is supposed to. I also found it very disturbing...

review 1: I was intrigued by the title and blurb, so I checked this out at my local library.It turned out to be a romance novel disguised as a comedy of horrors. Shakespeare is made out to be this hunk of undead flesh who can summon other undead, meaning a necromancer. Except that he's mor...

review 1: This novel was complete and utter babble. The mumbling of a sadly deranged woman. It mundanely rambled on about on with psychobabble, good vs evil, light vs dark, blah blah blah. Bored me to tears. I must have skimmed, on and off, about 100 pages. The driving character was a...

review 1: I always find it interesting the diverse opinions of the books. This series takes the good v. evil to a stark level, alluding to biblical end of all days, while suggesting that this was all before religion and religion is irrelevant. Some of the characters are too mysterious, l...
