A book needs a good idea and a good writer –Paramilitary Recruiter by Renee Jagger and Michael Anderle

E J says... I have seen Michael Anderle's name in association with many writers. I am getting the impression he comes up with good ideas and then finds a writer to bring them to life. With Renee Jagger, he hit a jackpot. The plot is decent, and a lot of typical magical creatures populate the …

E J says... Fun, YA paranormal romance books through most of the series. Many readers will appreciate the clean content. I may be a good ways beyond my teenage years, but the tone felt right.
