Reviewed by Ulysses Dietz Member of The Paranormal Romance Guild Review Team This is Xenia Meltzer’s first foray into murder mysteries, and it’s a good one.

REVIEW: SOULMATES – LIV RANCOURT
Reviewed by Ulysses Dietz Member of The Paranormal Romance Guild Review Team Liv Rancourt’s agenda in “Soulmates” is not what it appears to be at first. She puts us in an America where supernatural creatures are just part of the complex texture of life (or, as it happens, death). Specifically, we meet 175-year-old vampire Trajan..

REVIEW: December Roses – Fiona Glass
Reviewed by Ulysses Dietz Member of The Paranormal Romance Guild Review Team Moody and quietly magical, Fiona Glass’s “December Roses” is a contemporary book set in the fairly recent historical past (mid-1990s); but it feels like a story out of another time entirely.

REVIEW: Desires of a Monster – Roe Horvat
Reviewed by Ulysses Dietz Member of The Paranormal Romance Guild Review Team Oy. Beauty and the beast, but both more complex and simpler. More complex in that the demon—sole survivor of a violent, cruel race of creatures—is “just” a demon. No handsome prince transformed by witchcraft. Known only as the Dark Rider, he has lived..
