My Thoughts
This series plays the Psy, cold, emotionless beings, against the Changelings, warm, shapeshifters who use emotion and touch as a foundation for good life. 

I love both the Psy and the Changelings, though I'm partial to shifters so they would have to be my favorites.  I love how the author is able to bring the two different types together, sometimes for good, sometimes for bad.  Both parties have to learn how to understand the other in order to survive.

    Not my kind of book, although the characters sound interesting. Sounds like an exciting story.

    Hi Sheri,

    This is definitely not my kind of book, although that first line has me wondering what the three irrefutable truths are .. it is quite wicked of you to leave us hanging like that!

    The synopsis is very descriptive and highlights some great narrative qualities which I hope carried through into the book. If so, it must have been a great read.

    Thanks for stopping by Fiction Books earlier. It is good to 'meet' you and I hope that you have a great weekend,

    Yvonne.

One Less Warlock by Judith Post

One Less Warlock by Judith Post My rating: 4 of 5 stars I think it's hard in a short story to create a unique setting, characters, etc., and still get some sort of story line in. In One Less Warlock, Judith did an excellent job of molding the story in such a way that we got a taste of a distinct world and character personalities, and a complete story to go with it. In this short story Judith was able to pack in witches, vampires, a sexy Were, succubus, voodoo, murder, and mystery, all in only about 20 pages. Pretty amazing. I enjoyed the story and Babet, the main character, and am looking forward to more of her in the future. View all my reviews
