• Claimed on April 26, 2012
  
  A quick read, but still very good. I love fantasy romance stories and this is one of the best I've read in a long time. http://sites.google.com/site/authorsarahohara
  
• We Don’t Plummet Out of the Sky Anymore on April 26, 2012
  
  An intelligently well written piece of fiction. I generally don't go for this type of story, but I was looking for a short story to read to pass the time; I wasn't disappointed.
  
• Smashwords Book Marketing Guide on April 26, 2012
  
  Mark Coker knows what he's talking about. I've been around awhile and read lots of other articles, blogs, and ebooks about marketing. This one made it seem approachable and easy, rather than hard-work and time-consuming. A must for every writer.

  Everything I ever wanted to know about formatting ebooks in one place. Thank you Mark Coker.
  
• Jarring, Scarring, and Cold on April 26, 2012
  
  Originally read this over at Feedbooks, I'm planing on writing a piece about the devil and wanted to see what other's had written. It follows the typical plot line of satanic encounters, but its well written and easy to read. I want to see what else Mr. Cruz comes up with.

• DEAD(ish) on April 26, 2012
  
  I wanted to see how other writers portrayed ghosts and the dead. This story puts a different twist on the after life and relationship problems. Definitely worth a read.
  
• Unforgiven Pleasure on April 27, 2012
  
  A fast paced, but good read. Definitely too short.
  
• Heart Spell on April 27, 2012
  
  I would love to know the back-story to this, wish it was longer so I could get a better feel for the environment.
  
• Questing Beast on April 27, 2012
  
  Very well written, it covers many genres, humor, sci-fi, even a bit of romance. Great fun, loved the ending.
  
• The Sunflower That Roared on April 27, 2012
  
  I can never turn down a book with a character named Sarah. I'm proud to share my name with this one. I'd love to read it to my future children.
  
• Hysteria on April 27, 2012
  
  Its a bit too graphic for me, even if the "treatments" are true. It gave me shivers as I read it, wonderful story-telling, I'm just not fond of the content.
  
• Snaring The Huntress on May 02, 2012
  
  Loved it. I want to see more from this universe. :)
  
• The Silver Collar on May 02, 2012
  
  A lovely new fairy-tale!
  
• His Robot Girlfriend on May 07, 2012
  
  A life story, comfortable but with a touch of drama in all the right places. I was expecting a little more erotica that it gives, but I'm glad it's not there. It would have been out of place with the pacing I think. Also, it's what kept me from reading the book in the first place. All in all it's worth a read, but I don't think I'll be reading the sequels.
  
• Seven Deadly Mistakes To Avoid When Making An eBook on May 07, 2012
  
  More of a "writing for selling an idea" / nonfiction rather than something for us fiction writers. Having said that, there are a few things that apply. For fiction writers: read if you want to, but you aren't missing out on anything life changing.
  
• Dollars and Deadlines' 10 Truths Every Writer Who Wants to Get Published Should Know on May 07, 2012
  (no rating)
  Cleverly written and covers a range of topics. I'll be reading it again.
  
• So You Don't Have Time on May 07, 2012
  
  Very good introduction to writing short stories.
  
• They Came, They Saw, They Took the Tinfoil on May 09, 2012
  
  I loved the imagery this conjured up while I was reading. A seven foot lobster with a perfume bottle? I never would have come up with that. Recommended to a friend who found it enjoyable as well.
  
• Mind Cafe on May 09, 2012
  
  An interesting view on what happens to those who are comatose, and how they spend their time. It's good, though I don't particularly like how it ended.
  
• Black Moon (Moon Trilogy Part I) on May 09, 2012
  
  Might be stretching reality a bit with that book, but the rest is quite good. Worth a read anyway.
  
• Fall on May 09, 2012
  
  With the popularity of vampires and werewolves lately it's nice to see something different. The beginning was a little hard to comprehend, and I still don't know if this is meant to be on earth somewhere, but it's not bad.
  
• Forged With Fire: Creativity and The Creative Spirit on May 10, 2012
  
  An in depth explanation of creativity, how to nurture it, and make it grow.
  
• The Beast on May 31, 2012
  
  Even though fairy tales have been redone to death over the years I was happy to find this new twist on Beauty and the Beast. Very good, I want to read more from this author.
  
• My Fair Donor on May 31, 2012
  
  There are a lot of vampire books, but this is the first one I've read that tackles the topic of curing vampirism. Made for a good, quick read.
  
• Six Impossible Things on May 31, 2012
  
  I didn't enjoy all of these stories, though Kris was pretty darn entertaining. I especially liked the imaginary friend story. The cartoon character one...freaked me out a little as I was (and still) not prepared to think about them that way. Pretty good though, it was a nice way to spend my evening.
  
• A Dark Kiss of Rapture on May 31, 2012
  
  I thought this was quite a good free ebook. Just enough to get a taste for the writing style and genre. The story was good too, but I didn't like how the heroine kept trying to imply that she thought the hero was a vampire or werewolf. It seemed a bit much for me. I still like her other book, Snaring the Huntress, better. It used original characters rather than the perennial war between angels and demons. Good though, but I don't think I'll read it again.
  
• Demonsong on June 12, 2012
  
  Loved it. A well written fantasy adventure with everything one could want; friendship, mutiny, music, and a good old-fashioned street brawl.
  
• The Thirteenth Unicorn on June 21, 2012
  
  I knew going in this was geared toward adolescents and not adults, but that didn't stop me from enjoying it anyway. I was originally attracted by the title as I adore anything with unicorns in. It's a fairly typical fantasy with wizards, witches, dwarves, elves, magic, and fairies. It makes for a lovely read, but don't expect anything groundbreaking.
  
• The Princess' Dragon Lord on June 21, 2012
  
  Paranormal romance is a genre I've only recently come to appreciate, and this story is no exception. A different twist on dragons, some well-placed amnesia, and a usurping uncle all within a well-written love story.
  
• My Demon Lover on June 21, 2012
  
  I loved the author's description of the demon, she made him sound sexy and dangerous at the same time. A great book, I want to see more like this.
  
• Short Erotic Tales 1 on June 25, 2012
  
  Hoo boy. Well, it is written by a man, and the stories I think really are more for men than women. Though having said that my husband read a few pages over my shoulder and laughed, so maybe I don't know who this was written for? Plots were very thin on all of them, in fact they read a bit like a bad porno. No substance to any of them (except maybe the first one, but even that was graphic). I'm not sure how or why this is #2 on Smashwords... it really isn't that great.
