Witches and werewolves and vamps, oh my!

This site provides unbiased reviews of novels that fall into the fantasy book genre. You know, books that include creatures or otherworldly beings that typically come out a night – or hide in the shadows. We also review fantasy books that include magic and wizardry.

You’ll notice that most books reviewed have strong main characters – ones that don’t have to rely on other people (or creatures) to solve their problems for them. Sure, we all need help occasionally, but at some point a hero or heroine should be heroic, don’t you think?

Come here before spending your dollars on a particular new book – my ever-growing library of contemporary and urban paranormal fantasy books is fairly extensive; I plan to publish reviews on a regular basis.

If you click on a link and decide to purchase a book from Amazon.com I receive a small fee which helps me keep the site going. It will also let me run contests with free prizes. I appreciate your support in this way.

And feel free to drop me a line in the comments section beneath each review or email me at questions@bestfantasystories.com. I’d love to hear from you!

FANTASY BOOKS FOR SOOKIE STACKHOUSE FANS!

Spell Bound
by Kelley Armstrong
Savannah Levine has lost her magical powers. The timing sucks because some crazy stalker wants her dead. But stubborness is Savannah's middle name so she's determined to solve the supernatural serial killer case she's investigating. And if solving a murder case, staying ahead of a stalker and trying to regain her powers isn't enough, there's trouble brewing amongst renegade supernaturals who have decided to show the world their powers (and not in a good way).

Carpe Demon
by Julie Kenner
Preparing dinner for her husband's last minute campaign kick-off party with a 2 yr. old underfoot was hectic enough for Kate Conner. But fighting a demon that crashes through her kitchen window and trying to hide the body before guests arrive is a bit much, even for an ex-demon hunter like herself. And even worse, the demon hinted that more of his kind where on their way. Sigh. It's time to come out of retirement.

Alex Craft, Book 1
by Kalayna Price
Alex is a grave witch, someone that can speak with the dead. This makes her a hot commodity with the police because she can touch a corpse and get it to relive the last moments of its life. But her latest case is something even she can't handle; while attempting to raise a murdered public figure, it attacks her. Since it's clear that a powerful entity doesn't want her to chat with its victim, Alex reluctantly decides to work with detective Falin Andrews, a man as handsome as he is arrogant.

Under Attack
by Hannah Jayne
Sophie Laswon is a human that's immune to magic. As an executive assistant at the Underworld Detection Agency that's great because she sometimes helps supernatural beings make the transition to living in the human world. However, her new boss doesn't want humans working for him so she's a bit paranoid about her job security. But when the recent killings of several supernaturals are linked to a search for an ancient vessel, which her sometimes boyfriend/fallen angel Alex Grace also happens to think will restore his wings, a pink slip suddenly becomes the least of her worries.
