  1. YES! I love Nancy Haddock and am so happy to see a new book! And the same goes for Ellen Schrieber. Those Vampire Kisses books are too much fun.

    However, I *am* going to smack someone over at Wizards of the Coast... Just how many times do we need to re-issue these Dark Elf books? I love my Drizzt, but really people... LOL But then, I'm biased... some of my copies were published by TSR. *snort*

    *sighs* Ignore me... I hate it when my books don't match. :)

  2. Albert Brooks future presented in this novel is plausable. The characters are well developed and engaging. At times I find myself feeling as if I'm reading a biography based on the main characters lives, it's that realistic. Entertaining and hard to put down!
