January 2014 Top Reads

Here are our favourtie books/novellas we read in January 2014!



Iron and Velvet by Alexis Hall

I laughed out loud, or as the kids say "lolled", lots throughout this book. At one point my partner came to make sure I wasn't having conniptions.

Kate Kane is a Paranormal Investigator in London. She smokes and drinks heavily. In this first novel, she is hired by an eight-hundred-year-old vampire prince, Julian Saint-Germain, to investigate the murder of a werewolf outside one of Julian's clubs.

The vampire prince, a female vampire to Kate's surprise, is of course smoking hot. Things naturally get complicated when Kate feels herself wanting to violate the first rule of being a PI - don't sleep with the client.

Static by L.A. Witt

Wow.  I was hesitant about reading this novel, but it totally blew me out of the water.

Static was originally published in 2011 and this is a revised edition that has just been released in 2014. The original novel won several awards including winner of best science fiction romance in the 2013 EPIC Awards and winner of best bisexual / transgender sci-fi / paranromal / fantasy in the 2011 Rainbow Awards.

Selume Proferre by E.E. Ottoman

It was utterly refreshing to read something different from the traditional m/m and f/f pairings.

This is a story about exorcism, although not quite your run-of-the-mill priest vs demon kind.

The love interest, M.C. Anderson is an exorcism expert. Initially she is quite a frosty, overworked individual and she rubs most of her colleagues the wrong way. An-An is brought into the company to see if she can work with M.C.
