Story Snippet:
“I should have stopped the bastard! I saw him, but Erzas went for him before I got there. Sorol took his head, Rag. He laughed at me, and disappeared.” Chaia’s eyes glittered with hatred. “He took his head.”
“Wait. Are you saying he left with it?” Raguel stared at the Nephilim.
“That’s what I’m saying.”
“Why would he do this? He’d feel as devastated as you do.” This made no sense. They couldn’t kill each other without feeling the loss of the soul, which generally prevented them from even trying. “You’re absolutely certain it was Sorol?”
Chaia lifted his eyes to Raguel, glaring at him. “I watched him cut Erzas’ head off, Rag! Of course I’m sure!”

How come I can get anything in ebook format — except reference books?
Wouldn’t it make sense to have something you’re not reading for pleasure, which would benefit from being searchable, which might cost a bomb to print and can benefit from revisions… in ebook format?
I’m talking about synonym books, thesauri, dictionaries, lists like A-Z of whatever, Name books… stuff like that.
Why is it that the ones I want, never seem to be sold as an electronic edition? Why not include a PDF version (after all, the dang thing is being submitted as a file, in the first place!) on a CD with the print version?
Pisses me off, it does…

Sebastian
(Ephemera Series)
Anne Bishop
ISBN 0451460960
Blurb:
Long ago, to stop the onslaught of the Eater of the World, Ephemera was split into a dizzying number of strange and magical lands connected only by bridges—which may take you where you truly belong, rather than where you had intended to go.
Now, with the Eater contained and virtually forgotten, the shifting worlds of Ephemera have been kept stable by the magic of the Landscapers. In one such land, where night reigns and demons dwell, the half–incubus Sebastian revels in dark delights. But then in dreams she calls to him: a woman who wants only to be safe and loved—a woman he hungers for while knowing he may destroy her.
But a more devastating destiny awaits Sebastian, for in the quiet gardens of the Landscapers’ school, evil is stirring. The prison of the Eater of the World has weakened—and Sebastian’s realm may be the first to fall…
Intoxicating, erotic, and intensely romantic, Sebastian is for those who know on which side of the heart—Light or Dark—their passions lie.
Review:
Firstly – I don’t know where they got the "erotic" part from. It’s not. It’s about as erotic as the Black Jewels Series… even though the guy is an incubus.
That said, it’s still a damn good book. Not as good as the Black Jewels, but good nonetheless. I kept reading and Sebastian is adorable when he struggles with his incubus side… and the fact that he’s falling in love with "the little rabbit". The supporting cast, Teaser, Glorianna (Belladonna), Lee, Nadia… all of them are well rounded characters and make the world come alive.
As usual, Anne Bishop creates a world of Landscapers and Bridges, of Wizards and Demons… and yet they are all human. Dark, or light, it doesn’t matter. They all have a little of both, just in different doses. She meshes their worlds together almost seamlessly, so that what’s dark… may or may not be evil. And what’s light… well. All may not be as it seems.
I finished the book and luckily already had "Belladonna" sitting here waiting to be read. So that’s the next review.
It’s Fantasy and it’s an Anne Bishop. Seriously, what more could you want???
Highly recommended.
