  Richard Kadrey is my new favourite writer. I found this book wildly imaginative and beautifully imaged. And if his Lucifer was a real person, I'd do him.

  The second in an ongoing series, this had some classic zombie killing shenanigans in the plotline, but the real treat is the character of Lucifer. He's a rock star, all elegant and beautiful, yet deeply and hypnotically evil. A wonderful, joyous romp into a fully-realized universe.

  Classic noir, gritty and darkly sarcastic. I adore this book and this universe where Hell is real and Heaven doesn't care, and the classic struggle for humanity's soul is played out everyday.

  Laurell got us back on track with this one -- I thought it delved back into the heart of Anita's journey without some of the obsessing about her boyfriends that have characterized her other work lately. Flash, dark, and interesting, I actually enjoyed this one.

  For a read that's as light and airy as the froth on a capuccino, this whole series is just delightful, featuring the most unlikely Queen of the Vampires ever.

  This book is a mighty commentary on race, tolerance, corporate interference, the battle between the genders, and of course, our tendency towards the prejudice of the different. It's all here in a Mach 10 turbovision of writing. I love this guy -- he's another of my honorary literary dads.

  I'm starting to have a soft spot for Kitty, the first werewolf I could really sink my teeth into (pun intended).

  I see this book as a transitional one -- Charlaine is setting up something here and not sure what it is, but it's going to be one helluva ride!

  Hallelujah -- Sookie is back and cooler than ever!!! This was by far the best book in the series, and I have been an undying Dead to the World fan forever. The action here is break-neck and Charlaine eliminates a lot of loose ends while setting up new ones. I can't wait to see where she takes us next. Love this series!!!

  I'm starting to get really into this writer. Quirky, cool, razor-sharp and eerie. Love it.

  This is the first book that ever really and truly blew my mind. I include it in my spec fiction bookshelf simply because it speaks of how wildly imaginative Iain Banks got. His first novel is just indicative of that.

  I liked this book. Wildly funny and yet tongue-firmly-in-cheek, but also deadly serious -- a book of interesting contradictions and bizarre happenings. Truly fun.

  Hardboiled, almost noir-ish, I absolutely adored this book. The sequel Broken Angels, sucked big time though. Because. He kept. Doing this. With his punctuation. But this one remains a classic....

  And of course, he completely redeemed himself big time with this third installment of the adventures of Takeshi Kovacs. Awesome action sequences, interesting characters, wild noir-ish scenes -- it's all here.
