Advantages: Great story Disadvantages: Parts of Merewyn's character
-Kinley MacGregor-
Kinley MacGregor is a pseudonym for Sherrilyn Kenyon, the international best selling author of the Dark Hunter paranormal romance series. She uses the name Kinley MacGregor for writing fantasy romance novels. I'm not really sure whey she still bothers to use a pseudonym when Sherrilyn Kenyon is now printed on most Kinley MacGregor books, often in even bigger letters!
-Lords of Avalon-
Knight of Darkness is the second book in the Lords of Avalon series. This is a series losely based on the myths of King Arthur. I'm not familiar with the original stories so I don't know how much MacGregor has changed and how much is from the original stories.
Long before these books were set Arthur died in a battle against Morgan. During this battle Avalon, Camelot and Glastonbury were pulled out of the world and now exist in ...
Advantages: Interesting concept, unusual writing style Disadvantages: Perhaps a bit slow at first
This is a review originally written for dooyoo.
Intro Having decided that I needed some more books to read I consulted the charity book list at work (books for the bargain price of 25p) and came across "Darkly Dreaming Dexter".

Advantages: PI character, Belfast setting, a cast of potentially interesting characters Disadvantages: Characters not really developed enough
mostly felt quite detached from the story.
Millar makes an effort to establish his detective as a sympathetic character ? a dark past, a father, an ex-wife and teenage daughter, a current romantic interest, thwarted literary ambitions, a sense of humour and regular discomfort from his piles ? but he stays a fictional character. Millar uses a lot of quotations from other literary works, Irish, American and English, 16th and 20th century, but for me the references to Raymond Chandler only made me feel disappointed that Karl Kane isn't really Belfast's answer to Philip Marlowe. The most emotionally moving scenes in the book involved Karl and his father, and these are not central to the main story.
I would probably try another book in this series if I came across one, but wouldn't actively seek one out. I am more tempted by the author ...
