Apocalypse: Book 1 - Nemesis By Brigit M. Morgan (X:WP, 114 Pages)
This is such a good story and I'm so effed off cause I didn't realize that part 2 was not finished!!! I'll probably go read it anyway and deal with the repercussions later. I love how this writer has written the evolution of Gabrielle. I'm such a died hard Xena loyalist because of her strong character traits that I didn't give Gab much of a look, but thinking of her like this, less naieve, she's won me over. Like I said, I'll read more and curse myself later. - JettBlk - Feb-07-2010

White Fever By Norsebard (Original / Uber - Modern, 189 Pages - Unfinished)
White Fever lives in pulp-fiction-center and as an enforcer lives a life which puts 24-hrs to shame: the fast lane is just slow motion for her and her mustang. So ... fast cars, bad boys, life in the fastest lane ... a story packed with action. An additional bonus: the story runs very smooth and the grammar is fine (do I detect Jae's eagle eye here?) despite the wild action and the wild language. - Anonymous - Feb-06-2010

Wolf's Eyes By Rae D. Magdon (Original / Uber - Middle Ages, 167 Pages)
This is the second in a series where Magdon is retelling some classic fairy tales. The first one, The Second Sister, was an imaginative spin of the Cinderella story and I definitely liked the creative twists that she took. Wolf.s Eyes takes a character from the first story and sends her off to grandmother.s house in an interesting revision of Little Red Riding Hood. There are elements of the old stories that are woven in quite nicely in these re-imagined tellings. I.ve always had a fascination with folklore, myths and fairy tales, so this series intrigues me. It.s hard to find specfic in lesfic, so I.ll be following along with some anticipation as Rae continues to spin her tales. - Anonymous - Jan-27-2010

Secret History of Vampires (The) By Windstar and Zee (Original / Uber - Modern, 412 Pages)
Like their other works, The Secret History of Vampires pulled me in from the very beginning. Normally I don't really like vampires and I put off reading this one. Once I started read it though, it was hard to stop. Once I was finished, I recommended it to my friend. Hopefully there will be a sequel soon so my friend can stop telling me how mad she is at me for making her read it. Apprently, the end came too soon for her. :) Overall, great job. I loved it as much as I loved Chance. - Hillsys Stalker - Jan-26-2010

Excellent military story. Dale Oakes finds herself back in basic training working undercover for the US Army. The author has provided at length so much attention to detail that you feel you are doing the basic training along with Dale and her co trainees. This story is not only informative but exciting to read. You get pulled into the relationships new and old and find yourself trying to unravel this complex mystery right up to the very end where it kicks you in the pants! Awesome and very well written. - Sai - Jan-20-2010

This is a very engaging series with a twist of historical fiction if the story of a woman pirate alone isn't enough to wet your palate. It is set in the early 17th century and it has descriptions of the Caribbean and West Indies that conjure up the look of the land and it's new inhabitants. An excellent story.

Licit Cusp By Weebod (Original / Uber - Modern, 280 Pages)
Wow, this story is fantastic! The writing is superb, the characters more visceral than acquaintances you actually know in real life and the plot is simultaneously slice-of-life and yet, very compelling. The story is primarily one of a girl emerging from a very secluded, backwards area and point of view into a broader world. I think that's a motif which those of us in the lgbt community in particularly tend to find particularly meaningful. Regardless of who you are, it's hard not to find this to be a beautiful story. - Anonymous - Jan-05-2010

Seduction of Laura (The) By S. Anne Gardner (Original / Uber - Modern, 118 Pages)
ANNALEIs STAMP OF APPROVAL - This was the first S. Anne Gardner story I ever read. I have since combed the Internet in search of everything else she has ever written. To say this author is good at depicting passion and desire in her tales is and understatement. This story sticks to your ribs. It is one you will not likely forget anytime soon. The SHOCK value is right up there. This recommendation comes almost 2 years after I've read this story and it is still fresh in my mind as if I've only just read the thing. - Anna Lei - Jan-05-2010

Fin de Siècle By Fingersmith (Original / Uber - Modern, 37 Pages)
I cannot deny it. Fingersmith is my favourite British Author. Everytime I read a new short story or novel, I read her with a total dedication. I'm fully devoted to all her work. Why? You should ask. There is something on her way of approaching to the reader that appeals to me. It's a connection. When she tells the story, the reader is involved since the first paragraph. You could say it's like a magic spell. As for me, in spite of being under such a spell, I find Fingersmith a very good author who knows how to transmit and how to get you. "Fin de Si?cle" is a great story that keeps you intrigued until the end of it. What else can you expect? Heaven maybe? - Towanda - Jan-02-2010
