Christine Feehan excells as an author. I've enjoyed everything that I've read by her.
In fact she is one author that I like to reread. She is, however, not for everyone.
I would not recommend her to a teenage reader.
I also wouldn't suggest that a narrowminded person read her work.
She crafts excellent tales about paranormal, shape-shifters, and vampire hunters.
She is an author that I would not be surprised to see changing genre because she is so skilled.
I am currently rereading Dark Destiny, one of my favorite books by her.

Chill Factor didn't quite leave me cold!
Chill Factor was definately Rachel Caine's best novel. Having said that I have a cavet.
I wrote before that David was my favorite character, and as such I was angered by his author's continued mistreatment of him. Silly I know, but still that is how I feel and what I think.
I wasn't fond of her fourth book. I can't even remember the title and I don't want to waste the effort to go to my friend's bookshelf to check. Heck I didn't even read it all the way through.
The whole a Djinn dying for another Djinn to be born bothered me.
At least the Djinn wasn't David. He might as well be dead after everything his author, not to mention his lover and friends, have done to him! Okay so I got a little involved and that means that Caine can't be that bad of an novelist. Actually she is quite good! The irony of her pregnancy was not lost on me after the comment I made about Laurell K. Hamilton's character Anita Blake's possible pregnancy! I admit that romance is my favorite genre and thus I like stories that have a romantic element. It is not requsite(sic) though!
I really enjoyed the poetry of T.G. Reaper.
Read WITHIN THESE WALLS and his own collection to see that most of his themes are not romantic. He writes mostly horror and vampire themed stories.
He is a local author, but his work is available online, mostly through iuniverse and amazon.
Jeremiah Lee is an Ann Arbor author that participated and won Nanowrimo my first year, 2005, as a participant. And no, I did not make fifty thousand words.
Although I've only read a little of his work, the Sebastion Campaign, I really liked his writing style.
As always all miss spellings and grammical mistakes are my own!
