Summary: Yasmine Wins Us Again!
Comment: I've been a huge fan of Yasmin's fiction books since the Chintz and China series (a series I'm sad is complete). This time, she captures us again with local and fantastical lore. You walk down the streets of Seattle that feel dark and loom with the evil from which the D'Artigio sisters are bound to protect the citizens. This is sexy, sassy, and thrilling! Start at the beginning and you'll be thirsting for more!

Summary: yet another erotic romance...
Comment: I picked this book up with the second one -Changling -in the library hoping for a good paranormal/supernatural series and was disappointed to find that although the story had alot of potential (and reminded me a bit of Charmed), the characters are annoying. Camille, the main sister in this first book reminds me of Prue -Charmed- only much much sluttier. The story wouldn't be bad if there were less focus on all the new men the sisters are trying to sleep with and/or decide between, and more mystery,horror, and action. I flipped past the tedious sex scenes in hopes that there would be more to the actual PLOT, but no such luck. Also annoying is the bad decisions the sisters make regarding the men they date which just adds more annoying characters. I will not be getting book three unless I am seriously,seriously bored!

Summary: Witchling
Comment: I just wasn't as impressed by this as the summaries had led me to believe I'd be... The plot seemed trite and overdone. The characters seemed very static and stereotypical. Two characters that I would have liked to see more of were Morio, a Japanese kitsune (read demon fox) and 'Smoky' a white dragon. One can hope they make a larger appearance in the second and third installments.
The plotline is fairly standard. Three sisters are living on Earth on assignment from their CIA-like agency from Faerie. Since the sisters are half Fae, half human they each have their weird powers. Camille is a witch, Delilah is a werecat and Menolly used to be great at acrobatics before a mission gone wrong saw her turn into a vampire.
The sisters manage well enough Earthside and they all have their own jobs. Menolly helps tend bar (at night of course), Delilah is a detective and Camille runs a bookstore. By the title, Camille is the obvious focus of this story and things were going fine until a friend that worked at the bar with Menolly died of very suspicious causes. That sets off a whole slew of otherworldly problems including the rising of a demon named Shadow Wing. I couldn't help it; I thought of Darkwing Duck every time I saw the name in print...
It took me a good four or five days to get through this slim little paperback, a size that would normally take one or two max. I just couldn't get into it. I'll (of course) read the next ones to see if they turn out better. I hope they do.

Summary: Read it!
Comment: I love this series! I recommend it to anyone interested in fantasy fiction.
However, it would probably be best for "mature" teens, and adults. There are some "sex scenes". It's not really for kids.
This series is one of my favorites.

Summary: Bewitchingly good.....
Comment: Great start to a new series. Hardly any down spots and wasted page fillers. I love the diversity of having witches, vampires, fairie/fey and my fav demons. This book had good sex with hardly any romance which I more than appreciated and had great action. I'm looking forward to reading book 2.
