Ever wondered what a fantasy version of Pride and Prejudice would be like if the countryside was full of dangerous supernatural creatures like direwolves, gryphons, lamias and banshees? Where the most respected and revered members of society weren’t just idle nobles, but devoted themselves from youth to training hard and hunting down these dangerous monsters? Elle Katharine White clearly wondered the same thing, and before you think this is just another quick cash-grab like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, where the original story has pretty much been kept […]
A courtesan with amnesia
Grant Morgan is one of the most famous and sought after of London’s Bow Street Runners. He’s made a substantial fortune solving crimes for the wealthy, but is starting to find his life a bit boring. When he’s called to the banks of the Thames to identify what appears to be a strangled woman, he is first of all surprised to discover that she is still breathing, and secondly, by her identity.

What if Pride & Prejudice was set in modern-day Texas?
I really like Pride and Prejudice, so I was excited to win this retelling. This book changes the setting to modern-day Texas. Instead of neighborhood dances, the activity is a debutante ball. Twins Megan and Julia are both accepted as debs because their family is a legacy. The problem is that Megan is not very girly. She prefers playing soccer, which gets her into some trouble and put on debutante probation. If she can’t prove herself, she will be kicked out and disgrace her family. […]

“And Benny might have been clueless about a lot of things, but about one thing he was absolutely right: Your only hope was to Be There…”
This was a weird mystery, but not in the way I like my weird. The book is about a pair of mismatched teen detectives, Benny and Virginia, who try to find the truth when a popular cheerleader jumps off a bridge during a football game. It’s so hard to talk about this book. There were moments where I liked it, then some weird thing would happen and it just put me off it. It’s like a nice cookie with raisins sprinkled throughout. Except, here the […]
If Hell was really under construction, nights like this could serve as building blocks.
This book opens with the mysterious line “They found the car,” Our two main characters are driving, they arrive at a house in the middle of the night – a house they haven’t visited for seven years and they wake a man from his sleep and drag him into the night. It’s hard to explain the contents of this novel. It reads like an epilogue of what happened seven years ago. It is a free floating epilogue in this world and through it a […]
