This book is one of my all time favorites. It had suspense, action, romance, humor, and was very emotional in places. Shortly after Chelsea found out her sister died, and identified the body, she found out where her nephew was. Chelsea was sure the man that had him, was responsible for her siste...

Minimal angst, great family banter, a lovely herione with lots of sass. the hero was just perfect and with lots of humour and even a bulldozer to arrive at the birth of his children!!! What more can a gal want!!! I will definitely be readi...
This story pulled me right in. I got this book for free. There are many books that are free, that are not worth the time to read them. this one on the other hand was a very good book. I love Maya and her family. Her mother was a saloon owner, and raised her 5 daughters by herself. Each of her sis...
WOW! For a PR book, this had a ton of character development. First off, while the idea of a bunch of characters united for the sole purpose of revenge is not original, Maggie Shayne does it very well. It's funny how Briar calls them "The Scooby Gang" because they really are like a gritty, undead ...
If the purpose of a prequel novella to a series is to get readers curious about what's to come in a series then Legacy of the Witch works well. Readers were given enough of a tease that you couldn't help but be curious about what happens next. Through flashbacks to the past and present time drama...
I actually read this short story after I read "Mark of the Witch" and it explained a couple unanswered questions about the mysterious box. I wondered how it arrived at Cornell. If you decide to skip over this Prequel, don't sweat it. You won't get lost when you read book one. However, this story ...

This is an interesting concept to have six authors write a story in their sub genres with the same few paragraphs. However, each story was ok. They seemed a bit tongue-in-cheek. Nancy Warren's story was good, almost believable. The most interesting was Christine Bell's story because this was the...
Vlad returns in Prince of Twilight, but he's still not quite the star of the show. We got to really know Stormy Jones in previous stories in the series, and saw a lot of her in the book just previous (#11). In fact, book 11 seems to really set the stage for this book very nicely - even if this ...
One of my favorite themes is psychic heroines and Forgotten Vows has that one.Joey is a psychic, she calls it intuition but she knows things and can sometimes even tell what one is feeling, so to save her sister and another "Slasher" victim she goes to the hospital to claim that she is the wife o...
I just happened to see this book featured at a local bookstore, and thought I'd give a try-- I'm really glad I did. This was the first novel I have ever read by Maggie Shayne, but it will certainly not be the last. I was somewhat surprised to find out Shayne has written over 40 novels-- she does ...
