The revived must take a dose of Returné daily or risk decomposition. The drug has a more evil side, allowing the users to be compelled. The author captures the sinister side of corporate America [ Read More of this Review ]

Working Stiff by Rachel Caine Book purchased from Borders AH’s Review – 4 Stars B+ My first impressions of this book were that it was different from most of the urban fantasy books I’ve read.

The premise seems straight out of those medical conspiracy thrillers with Big Pharma as the evil bad guys. Paranoid, secretive characters and evil henchmen round out the cast. A large pharmaceutical company inadvertently develops a drug that [ Read More of this Review ]
