Archive for NAL Heat

I just posted a review of a recent read. This was one of those books that I can't quite make my mind up about. I liked it, but then again, I didn't like all of it.

Dark Embers by Tessa Adams is a book about dragons, romance, magic, and a deadly disease that's killing the people of the Dragonstar clan. Dylan and Phoebe come together when Dylan seeks out a scientist specializing in autoimmune and nervous system disorders. He wants her to work with his clan's doctors to discover the cause of and a cure for the disease that's killing the members of his clan.

Dark Embers has a strong story propelling it forward, with writing strong enough to overcome a few big issues I had with the book. Read the review for Dark Embers…

There were some definite parts that I liked in the book, but there were a few issues with the book that kept it from living up to my expectations. However, overall, it was a pretty good book. It takes a lot to make me enjoy a dark story, and Dark Embers was good enough to keep me reading past the point when I might have given up on another book.

Today I finished an update to the Heat book lists I've had in the works. I split out the NAL Heat and the Berkley Heat titles since I've discovered that the books can actually be quite different.

I hope to have some reviews to post soon.

I started I Spy a Wicked Sin last night, and so far it's been hard to keep myself from revisiting it today even though I've got stuff to do. ;)

Books are like that sometimes—they make it hard to concentrate on the real world!
