The Devil arrives in Moscow and the chaos commences - a book like no other by an author like no other. I am not a man for Fantasy or Magic Realism - but Bulgakov just covers the sinister side of mankind and how that can be made to dance when a certain gentleman arrives in the big city and plays the tune.

The Greyfriar (Book 1 in the Vampire Empire Trilogy) was my first proper introduction to the steampunk genre. In this bold alternate universe authored by husband and wife team Susan and Clay Griffith, vampires are vicious, powerful, and wisely feared by the human population. 150 years ago, vampires and altered the course of history as they emerged and destroyed much of human civilization toward northern territories, forcing survivors to move south. But humans are resilient beings and with time they become determined to fight back and restore their glory. Part of that fight includes Princess Adele of Alexandria, a young lady poised to marry American Senator Clark in a political move that will unite their people and allow a full scale war against their fanged enemies. All goes according to plan until Adele is captured by the enemy and held prisoner in the northern lands. All hope seems lost, but there is The Greyfriar, a mysterious and legendary masked warrior that's able to take on the vampires and win. He aides Adele, helping to keep her alive in this hostile territory. First off, the model for the covers of these books totally reminds me of Mitchell the vampire on BBC’s Being Human, played by actor Aidan Turner. I figured that was a good pic to use since the costuming is fairly close, though that’s from a photoshoot for The Hobbit. As for the story, I was pleasantly surprised with this book. I will say that the beginning started out really great and action-packed, but then it hits a bit of a slump for me becoming riddled with politics and side characters that I know are important, but I found myself not caring about it very much. In short, I was bored for a good deal of time. I liked Adele and Greyfriar's point of view and wanted more of that, so I was considering giving up on the book until it hit the 50% mark. After that I was really hooked and finished the book being really happy that the second book was available. There is a lot of world building, but it's really pretty fascinating as it incorporates airships, special weapons, and even a unique sense of wardrobe which really drives home that steampunk feel. Adele makes mistakes, but overall for me she was a likable heroine. She is not the same person by the end of this book as she was in the beginning, so it was a satisfying evolution that promises even more as this trilogy unfolds. I want to say a lot about the Greyfriar, but I found a pleasant surprise as I read the book, though I will not spoil it in this review. All I will say is that his character also experiences significant evolution. He was probably my favorite character. It's nice when the title character can accomplish that, especially for me because I'm usually the type of reader who often follows a series for the sake of the side characters. There's a lot of action, a real sense of adventure, and a building romance that really make this book a success. I wasn't expecting to become attached to these characters, but by the end I found myself completely invested in what would happen next. The book isn't perfect, but I finished reading it being really glad that I invested in it. *Review also posted to Amazon

I loved this series. I especially liked how the women were connected as well as the men.

Blitzed through a weekend. Narrator grew on me. I loved the beginning, Bright Sand, the fully imagined world of the light and heavy crews, city killers, and Orleans iterations on the dystopian Gulf Coast. The rest felt more thinly imagined but still with a classic throwback feel through a Mad Max filter. What Treasure Planet wished it was. But this time Long John really was Jim's father.

This is a wonderful story (based on the life of the author's grandmother) about a girl who grows up wealthy in Mexico, but due to unfortunate circumstances must come to America and work as a field laborer. The writing was simple but sweet.

What a cute book! Loved the stories of Grandma and the adventures they had each summer.

Freaking fantastic. I almost groaned when i turned the last page and saw that it was the end of book one. Really? How long do i have to wait to read the next one? This book spins along, kicking up one surprise after another. At first I thought it would be just another dystopian story, but complacency was soon replaced by real page- turning suspense, the kind where you have to force yourself to stop reading and go to bed already. Characters are not really developed, but the plot carries this book. Does it ever!

Fakes you into thinking it's the Count of Monte Cristo IN! SPACE! for a few minutes, then thinks better of it. Not a deep book, but it is a fun read, and Bester's vision of a future full of mega-corporations and rogue lone agents predates cyberpunk by a good thirty years. Hell, take out a few dated turns of phrase and you could almost pass this off as a modern story.
