pickI remember watching the film when I was younger and Werewolf films were all the rage. It was so long ago, but I seem to remember it was more ecological and thoughtful than this book which is straight up pulpy horror. I enjoyed it nonetheless.
pickWorth the hype from the smuttier end of smut book groups. After reading Bride, I wanted to try another and this one is werewolves and humans with competent leads.
pickI've been (re)listening to Patricia Brigg's Alpha & Omega series, narrated by Holter Graham. So far: Cry Wolf, Hunting Ground, Dead Heat, and Fair Game.
I think Dead Heat is my fav of the series, with Fair Game a close second. The background story arcs of politics and the supernatural are fascinating.

I started this ARC back in October & never finished it & wanted to get it off of my massive NetGalley ARC TBR. Ir was okay. I liked the main characters but I felt like the story was too convoluted & needed shortening & better editing. It had some sparks of humor (Pod the raccoon familiar & the sentient kitchen appliance‘s) but I require more & more snark in my paranormal romances. This one was too angsty. 🤷🏻♀️
pick4/5⭐ Delightfully quirky characters who fit together so satisfyingly. I look forward to reading more stories with them. I loved seeing frank discussion of boundaries and desires between Nathan and Vlad. My one quibble is that the non-romantic plot came into play only near the end and felt rushed to the resolution. #roll100
pickI‘m losing track of how many times Mercy has been kidnapped! This time there is a fairy queen after her for an artefact she thinks is in Mercy‘s possession but there‘s also danger for Samuel - whose suicide attempt leaves his wolf in control - danger for Adam - with challenges to his pack leadership and attempts at undermining his relationship with Mercy… all in all another great audiobook!
Little book haul from Costco and the Goodwill.
I keep hearing great things about Frozen River. I liked this cover of Pillars maybe someday now I will read it.
I didn't realize Heyer had a mystery series, I know she was a terrible person but I do like her writing.
Has anyone read this God Save The Queen? Looks like a fun zombie series and the cover really drew me in I haven't heard anything about it before
