Third in the Dark One series. I liked this book particularly because there was a good story/adventure surrounding the romance. It also had MacAllister’s usual humor.

Violets are people with violet eyes who are conduits for the dead – meaning a murder victim can testify at their killer’s trial. In this very intriguing thriller, someone wants Violets dead and FBI agent Dan Atwater must team up with Violet Natalie Lindstrom to catch the killer. One of the better thrillers I’ve read.

Interesting look at how things become popular and take off – basically, what is the point at which they tip from being popular to one, or a few, groups of people to just about everyone.

The continuing adventures of independent runner Rachel Morgan. In this adventure, Rachel must find who’s killing all the Ley line witches in Cincinatti. Fun book, reminiscent of early Laurell K. Hamilton.

Lightweight, fun story about Christine Krabbe who becomes Queen of Alaska (yes, it’s a country in the book). Wacky and fun.

Second in James’ series. This one has Simon and Giles at a writers conference with an amusing cast of mystery writers. There is of course a murder. Fun.

Interesting what if story. A doctor who cloning humans (legally), clones his daughter’s killer so he can one day look into his face. Creepy and interesting story about ethics and assumptions.
