Book Review: “Kiss the Dead” by Laurell K. Hamilton

Posted on July 6, 2012 by Josh Roseman

Hmm… okay, so, we start with police procedural, and our hero shows up on the scene. She’s got a crap-ton of weapons and abilities, and she uses them to be a monster and save the day, sort of, except that … Continue reading →
