this is a good story.Poor girl managing through lots of hard times..happy ending which i love...
A couple months ago, I got a Nook Color, and I’ve read about a book a day ever since. Earlier this week, I came across Motor City Fae, by Cindy Spencer Pape. Authors, editors, and publishers often wonder how people come across books, so I’ll tell you how I found Cindy Spencer Pape. Like many with an eReader, I am not wild about agency pricing for eBooks, so I have been sniffing through the good indie presses. There are differences in tone and pace at the indies - it seems to me that my made-for-indie eBooks move at a breakneck pace in comparison to books that are originally print and then converted to eBook format. Stylistic differences aside, good reads are to be had at both indie and agency pubs. Dear Author has talked a bit about how in this new deluge of digital info, how will readers find good books? By following authors? Editors? I decided to try following an editor, Angela James of Carina Press, because I follow her on FB and Twitter, and I’ve taken her writing workshop (I’m a tech editor by trade, but there’s always room for improvement). She (and Carina in general) have some smart, savvy ideas about what makes a good read, and how eBooks are the future. (Disclaimer time: I am loosely associated with Dark Roast Press, and do eBook layout and typeset, though not as much as I used to. I can’t talk about eBooks at all without giving them and their awesome authors and editors a shout out.) Back to Ms. James and the awesome Cindy Spencer Pape. My tastes in romance are very much like my tastes in GenFic. I don’t read contemporary GenFic, or romance, and I read tons of urban fantasy, paranormal, historical, and sci-fi/fantasy/SpecFic. I read Lit Fic too, but that area of publishing is just not getting on the eBook train fast enough to suit my liking. C’mon Salt Publishing, get some eBooks that I can buy on this side of the pond! My eyes kept wandering back to Motor City Fae as I clicked around the site. The cover was pretty, and I liked the excerpt. That is my process on any book, e- or print, btw. 1. Ooh, shiny! 2. Read blurb. Interesting? Y/N? N: move on, or Y. 3. Read excerpt. Ms. Pape did a great job in worldbuilding in MCF. Given my personal tastes, a weak worldbuilding experience is a total turn off. I loved how the Fae world and mundane overlapped in creative and unexpected ways. Meagan and Ric, the leads, had great chemistry. Now, Ms. Pape writes for Ellora’s Cave as well as Carina, and it shows - her love scenes are scotching hot - but if sex in an eBook is not your thing, or you think it’s a substitute for actual chemistry/plot, let me assure you that even without the sex scenes, you’d have an emotional, tightly-paced story. I gobbled the book up in a day, and then promptly went back to Carina and downloaded Motor City Witch. I’ll have to give it its own impromptu review, but suffice to say that I love this series, and I’ll be pre-ordering Motor City Werewolf as soon as it’s available. I’m also going to try her upcoming Steam & Sorcery. Steampunk is hit or miss for me - when it’s done well, I adore it, and when it’s not, it makes me twitch. Given how much I adored the Motor City series, I’m looking forward to giving it a try. by Heather, originally posted at my Tumblr.
