Joyfully Reviewed

I've had a rather strange weekend, not least of all because of these wonderful reviews!

"Uly's Comet" and "The Comet's Tail" were both reviewed by Joyfully Reviewed, to glorious acclaim.

Uly's Comet is an amazingly intricate and fascinating fantasy book. It involves intrigue, love, hate, passion ... involving fascinatingly flawed characters to keep you entertained and turning the pages. ... Uly's Comet clearly demonstrates Ms Bidwell's talent to build an intricate world and society for her characters to inhabit and evolve in.

All in all, The Comet's Tail is a fun and sexy romp ... a wonderful fantasy tale that will leave you feeling hot under the collar and looking for the next book about these men!

My thanks go to Sabella for not only reviewing the book but thinking carefully about what she wanted to say. Although after reviews like those I can't say it made this weekend feel any more real.

A great review to come home to!

I’m trying to catch up with everything after a week away, including blogging, but I seem to have left my get up and go somewhere at the beach. Plus the sun is still shining and enticing me to laziness. Still, I’m glad to report that I came home to a great review for The Comet Cometh at ParaNormal Romance :

This book is full of conflicts; conflicts between persons, their world, their power, and their own feelings. There is excitement in the action with the battles and the warring of persons against each other. There is also wonderful love scenes that will set the reader afire. While this is the third book of a trilogy, it can be read as a standalone. There are also lines which can easily be explored with their own story. Perhaps Ms. Bidwell has a treat for us yet again?
