Ordinary Day

I enjoyed Kushiel's Dart and the others, certainly. But they were uneven reads. There was a time or two when reading them where I just went 'eech'.

Yeah, most romance novel covers suck. I used to put little brown paper bag bookcovers on my romance novels when I read them in high school because the covers were downright embarassing. Thankfully, most of the authors I read now have rather tasteful covers lacking in pert bosoms with pointy nipples under thin fabric displayed alongside bare bulging man tits.

I haven't read Killing Moon yet, since the bookstore didn't have it, but I'm currently reading Edge of the Moon and enjoying it. The blunt language is, hm. It interrupts the flow of the text. I think that's what bugs me about it. Not that they are particularly bad word choices, just... I don't expect to see them outside of hard erotic or tinysex. :) Ross figures in the second book, but the second one isn't actually about werewolves. :)

If you want to see the sample of York's writing that made me go out and buy her books, check out the anthology Cravings. It'll probably be listed under Laurell K. Hamilton's name.
