The Darkest Evening of the Year
Dean Koontz
Bantam, 2007
Dog lovers and Koontz fans will treasure this
+ LOVED IT
+ More than just another mystery
Okay so I'm a dog lover but Koontz writes the best atmospheric suspense hands down and captures the persona of golden retrievers, making them into the heroes of the story. Amy's adventure is highlighted by the marvelous scenes with her pack of rescued goldens. And Niki is reminiscent of Einstein ...

Pretty Young Things
Dominic McDonagh
Telos Publishing, 2006
A traveling companion....
The book jacket promises "sexy vampire girls, blood, horror and enough catfights to sate even the most jaded of vampire lovers," and it delivers exactly that - a bit gorier than I might have at first suspected, a bit more gruesome, but finely drawn and compellingly told in competent prose. The ...

Every Dark Desire
Fiona Zedde
Kensington, 2007
A Must Read!!
+ Dark and Sexy

This book was excellent!!!!! The characters are well developed. The plot is well thought out! I was engaged from the first page so much so that I didn't want to read it all in one day just so I could look forward to reading the next day and the day after that. Alas, I didn't succeed because I ...

I Am Legend
Richard Matheson
Tor Books, 2007
Great book and literature
+ Good Pulp
+ ... worth it.
It is perhaps the greatest novel written on human loneliness. It far surpasses Daniel DeFoe's Robinson Crusoe in that regard. Its insights into what it is to be human go far beyond genre, and is all the more surprising because, having read his short stories- which range from competent but ...

Michael Gruber
William Morrow, 2007
Complex and engaging
+ Literary thriller trumps Da Vinci Code

2012: The War for Souls
Whitley Strieber
Tor Books, 2007
Not bad...Not great.
As a professional archaeologist, I am always drawn to semi-historical fiction novels and science finction that uses archaeology as a backdrop. 2012 proved to be a somewhat entertaining read, but it could have been a lot better. I don't concern myself with historical innacuracies so much since ...
