All I can say when it comes to Wizard’s Daughter by Catherine Coulter is WOW! You have to understand, all I’ve ever seen from Catherine Coulter are FBI romantic suspense novels and historical romance novels that are a bit on the generic side. Same old, same old. Not this one!

Yes, it’s a historical romance novel, but it’s not dealing so much with the romance as it is with a fantasy story. It comes under the guise of another Sherbrooke Family book, but let me tell you, it’s anything but. Rosalind and Nicholas are destined to meet, destined to be together. But why? Well, frankly, because Rosalind is the debt that Nicholas Vail’s family owes.

This book was delightful and so very difficult to put down, what with a girl (Rosalind) who was found half beaten to death and unable to remember her past, a book with a strange code that ONLY Rosalind can read, and a fantastical world called The Pale which is a place that exists, even if it seems far too silly for it to be true. Add in Nicholas’ step mother and half brothers who hate his guts, and you’ve got one hell of a great book.

I highly recommend this book to any Catherine Coulter fan who has fallen by the wayside after reading so many of her other books. You will surely be impressed and fall in love with this book.

Revenant by Carolyn Haines

Ok, here is the first of the three book reviews I need to catch up on. This one is for Revenant by Carolyn Haines. I finished this book in January which tells you how behind I am.

This one was a great thriller. Just enough romance to keep things going, but not enough to make me want to barf because of it. No, I am not too fond of sappy books. This one had some romance, but not the sappy stuff. For this, I am entirely grateful.

On the flip side, it’s an awesome book to read, and I had a very difficult time putting it down. A reporter who spends most of her time drunk gets caught up in a mystery when a serial killer starts killing again after a twenty-five year break. You have to read this one to believe it. I was skeptical at first, but a few pages in, I was hooked. It’s on my list to pass along on paperbackswap, and I happen to have a second copy as well, so if you want it, I’d look for it. My nickname at PBS is Charli.
