Another finale book, nor for one of my fave PNR series. Larissa Ione always delivers, but I will miss the riders! Thanks for the awesome books Sister!

Gunmetal Magic by Ilona Andrews

Ilona Andrews writes amazing stories led by incredibly strong characters. This will be the eagerly awaited "Andrea book" and I cannot wait for it to come out!

Shadows Before the Sun by Kelly Gay

July 31st, 2012

This is such an understated series for me. It is nothing short of fantastic and I wish more people knew about it! After the shocking events of the previous novels, I am dying to read this installment!

Blood Bath and Beyond by Michele Rowen

August 7th, 2012

Immortality was one of my first paranormal series and definitely my first PNR with humor, so when I heard that Sarah Dearly and co were getting a reboot in a spin-off series I was more than thrilled!

Special Mention to:

Alien Vs Alien by Gini Koch

The Hour of Dust and Ashes {Charlie Madigan #3} by Kelly Gay

To save her sister, she must stop a silent killer. . . .Protecting Atlanta from the off-world criminals of Underground is tough enough, but now Detective Charlie Madigan and her siren partner, Hank, learn that the addicts of the offworld drug ash have begun taking their own lives. Ash makes humans the perfect vessels for possession, and something or someone is leading them to their deaths. Charlie is desperate to save her addicted sister, Bryn, from a similar fate. As New Year’s Eve approaches and time runs out, Charlie makes a deadly bargain with an ancient race of beings and embarks on a dangerous journey into hellish Charbydon with Hank and the Revenant Rex to save Bryn and make it back before it’s too late. Only, for one of them, coming home means facing a fate worse than death. . . .

*Contains Very MINOR SPOILERS if you haven’t read the previous books in this series.

The Good: Kelly Gay continues to weave awesome stories and unveil such an intricate and compelling world that you can’t help but fall in love with this series and its characters. Charlie is even more lovable for me in this novel and Hank is gaining a lot of space in my heart as a potential leading man.

I love that Charlie is a mom, it something we don’t often see in Urban Fantasy and it definitely adds another layer to characterization.

The Bad: I can’t really thing of anything... wow! Awesome!

The Romance: We’re not quite there yet, but the potential is there and this series getting very close of being epic in the romance department.
