“The mortal realm of Iseung disgusts him, but there is one feature—and, mind you, one feature only—that he finds he does not loathe with the entire expanse of his bitter soul. Coffee.”

Obviously, I *must* love this book. :D

I am finally feeling up to getting back to the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. The next book to read in the series is Lover Mine. Which I am going to read in May. Is anyone interested in staying on the tag list? Let me know if you would like to be added.

Urban fantasy meets supernatural romance in this series that started in 2010. It feels a bit like Twilight for grown ups, repressive gender norms & all. (Actually worse with the gender norms. According to the mc "women's liberation" still hasn't gotten to the werewolves. Yoiks.) Despite that I find myself hooked? It's a compelling story, and I want to see where it goes. Basically a coyote shifter among werewolves and lots of supernatural intrigue.

rachelsbrittain To be clear, the Twilight comparison isn't meant to be negative. It's the regressive gender norms that are the problem, and even Twilight does way better on that front 😅 2d
SpeculativeFemale I enjoyed the first few books of this series a while back, but then kind of lost track of it. I should really go back to it someday. 2d
robinb I 💚 Mercy and her crew. Between this series and Briggs‘ Kate Daniels, these are how I got started in urban fantasy. 😊 2d
5feet.of.fury @robinb Kate Daniels series is Ilona Andrews but I agree I loved it so much! 2d

So this read like a cross between A Dirty Job and a Finlay Donovan mystery and I was totally here for it. A great mystery, engaging characters, and an interesting premise. What happens to the souls we leave behind is an old question, and this book doesn‘t try to answer it, but rather, thinks about the implications in a funny, tongue-in-cheek sort of way. Lots to love here.

It's been 9 years since I read the first book in this series, City of Bones. I felt I was able to get back into the world with no problems. I like the world of the shadow hunters. It's hard to explain what is going on here, but the book ended on an epic battle that was fun to read. We get a lot more of Jace in this series, and Simon too.

repost for @Andrew65, @Tove_Reads :

Following an idea from @Tove_Reads we are launching a #Readathon throughout May to read books from our own shelves, called #ShelfSweeper.

We hope you will join us. This Readathon is dedicated to the memory of the wonderful Litten @eanderson who will be sorely missed, so as well as your own shelf why not challenge yourself to read one book off her shelf. We are also using the tag #4Elizabeth
Please tag us.

Tove_Reads Thanks for sharing! Everyone should join in. The more the merrier! 4d
Andrew65 Th answer for sharing ❤️ All welcome no much how much or little reading they, can fit in. 3d
