This story continues where Spirit Dances, 6, left off. My Take This is more fantastical … hmmm, maybe not … than earlier stories. I think my thoughts were that Raven Calls is more fantastical because Joanne goes off to Ireland and flips back in time, battles the Morrígan, meets up with ancestors — and her mum! — battles more bad guys … Yep, it’s definitely more fantastical, lol. Yeah, I know you’re gonna say that Joanne battles bad guys, meets up with gods and monsters, runs around on alternate planes, and shapeshifts all the time. And she does. However, this is more. And scarier because Joanne loses Gary in time and battle! And the cauldron […]

My Take I was surprised to discover this is a Pendergast-focused series. A good thing, as he was my favorite character. The surprise comes from his low visibility in this. The focus is primarily on Margo Green and Dr. Frock, followed by Kawakita, and then law enforcement. Pendergast is a hoot. Quite the intellectual, he knows a lot about a lot and uses it as a conversational ploy to sidetrack people. I absolutely adore how he deals with pretentious twits. He certainly isn’t your typical FBI agent. I do like the sound of this exhibition. What a fascinating concept, exploring superstitions. Now that I’m going back over my notes, there are some little bits and pieces that make so much sense after having read the end. And, it’s terrifying! Now. The niggles…sigh …it’s more of a case of where do I start […]

This one is the big battle…at last…and ties up a number of loose ends, although from the short stories I’ve read, the series story continues on and there is the Desert Tales graphic series. It’s been two years since Aislinn became the Summer Queen. There’s a short story, “Merely Mortal”, in Marr’s Faery Tales & Nightmares (you can also find it in Enthralled: Paranormal Diversions), that occurs just before the Epilogue in Darkest Mercy. My Take This is where it all takes place and ends, and it’s both satisfying and terrible. Yep, I cried. The war with Bananach against Winter, Summer, and Dark when Bananch declares herself the new Dark Queen. Seems Sorcha had been planning in advance as well when she made Seth her son back in Fragile Eternity, 3. And it’s all […]

A special thanks to T.S. Krupa and Advantage Media Group for sending this story to me to read. My Take I blubbered my way through most of this story. It starts out so sad, then progresses to angry — although I don’t understand how she doesn’t get how very much Jay loved her — before it slides through scary until Jill slowly finds herself and her love. It’s just beautiful. It’s got to be the nightmare every parent, every spouse, every significant other hates. That missed phone call. That perhaps if you’d only answered that phone, it wouldn’t have happened. No, I’m not saying it makes sense …sigh… How can you not adore this sentiment? It was a honeymoon with the flu, and yet Jill thought it was the “most magical trip I […]
