So…..How many of you watched the premier of A Game of Thrones on HBO, last week? Raise your mouse….That’s what I thought. A lot of us were looking forward to this series debut.

Terri Garey’s RITA-award winning Nicki Styx series has been haunting my bookshelves for years. Wild, wacky, and original, those tale have delighted me from the first chapter of Dead Girls are Easy; the first book in the Nicki Styx series.
