Book Blind Date | Shakespeare Undead by Lori Handleland
I’ve mentioned it before, but I go in “blind” with almost every book I borrow from the library. It encourages me to select books I never would have otherwise because of perceptions of a genre or a style. This was the case for Shakespeare Undead by Lori Handeland. I picked up this novel for two…

Paranormal romance books are still flooding the market thanks to the Twilight series.

But, The Candidates showed me strong female lead characters can exist in these types of books. Dancia Lewis was awesooooome! …

He’s neither the hyper-masculine brute nor the silent, brooding type that seems to plague too many novels (of the romantic sort). He’s dorky and quirky and witty and well-read, and…
