I live and work in the UK, and write gay crime and fantasy novels, the latest being "The Gifting" (fantasy). When the wind is in the right direction, I also write poetry! I love quirky dark books and those that don't fit into the mainstream genres. My website is at http://annebrooke.com and I regularly blog at http://annebrooke.blogspot.com. And... more »

    Angel's Assassin

    Good characters. Damien wants to be what Aurora thinks he is but he was hired to assassinate her. Lots of action and adventure.

    Allison accompanies her friend Tina to a party at Logan Mitchell’s home. Allison is her wingman as Tina networks and looks for slutty sex. Allison does not have a good impression of the people who attend these types of parties. Looking across the room she makes eye contact with Logan and feels a connection with him. Running from him she meets a woman in white who is crying. Allison tries to help her but the emotions she picks up from this woman are so strong that Allison is unable to stay or help the woman in Carrie Pulkinen’s TO CATCH A SPIRIT. Logan tries to find Allison but he has his own issues to deal with.

    Allison and Logan are great characters. I like that both come with baggage and flaws. Allison carries guilt from the death of her parents that she has not come to grips with. Logan is obsessive-compulsive. Watching each try to deal with their problems alone is tough. As a reader, you know they will work better together and you want that so bad, you root for them. I groaned as they both try to be altruistic and let the other go. I wanted them together because they worked so well as one.

    The story was interesting. Allison is psychic who has dealt with the dead in the past so they will pass over. A bad experience the previous year has kept her from helping the dead as she helps the living. But she has to face that past as well as her other issues. Logan also has to face his past and make peace with it. He has to deal with his OCD and suicidal thoughts as well as a ghost in his house.

    Neither character is perfect but they are perfect together. I hope this is the first of a series. I would like to know what happens with the secondary characters and I want to know that Allison and Logan make it as a couple.

    Ron returns to Janelle after a tour of duty. She is anxious as they have spent most of their seven year marriage apart because of his military service in Ava Delany’s THE SOLDIER’S RETURN. Janelle wants to WOW Ron and Ron has a surprise for Janelle.

    I have read Ava Delany before and enjoy her work and sex scenes but THE SOLDIER’S RETURN is too short and the sex is flat. The shortness of this piece works against it. Ron and Janelle have reunion sex but the passion is that Ava Delany puts into her work is missing. Ron and Janelle deserve a longer story that shows the passion of reuniting again then more great sex after Ron’s surprise.

    Double Feature: A Novel

    Did not finish. Got to around page 100, and just couldn't go any further. Characters I didn't care about, a fictional movie that made no sense, and supposedly a fabulous father figure that I was supposed to fall in love with - which soooooooo did not happen. Sorry Owen...
