*The thumbnail pic is not my cat. Instead, it is a pic of me as a cat in my preferred location and outfit of choice. Time has lost all meaning. I float in a never-ending circuit of sofa, kitchen, laundry closet. Meals are made from remnants of other meals; a bizarre hot and cold buffet of Christmas leftovers and the occasional fruit and veg to ward off scurvy. The candy and chocolate wrappers fill the trash bin. It doesn’t rain but everything outside is cold […]

Jumping on the bandwagon

Bride by Ali Hazelwood

by 3 Comments

This was my first Ali Hazelwood. I had heard her first few novels were basically Kylo-Ren fanfic and had very little interest in that but figured maybe this would be different enough to be a good entry point. Overall, I did enjoy it and think it was a fun read even if I have oh so many nitpicks. Misery was, for the most part, an enjoyable and likable character, and generally smart even while being completely oblivious and clueless about other things. I think the […]

Grey’s Anatomy with Werewolves

The Fake Mate by Lana Ferguson

by Leave a Comment

The Fake Mate by Lana Ferguson had so much hype around the omega verse. I’ve been intrigued about it since it’s been hyped lately in romance circles. So I was excited to read this for Lawless Book Club. Mackenzie is a new doctor and also happens to be an omega wolf, which no one knows at her hospital. In this world, werewolves are out to the public. Her grandma keeps fixing her up on terrible dates. To get her grandma off her back, she lies […]

I’m terrible at staying current in a series, but I’m all caught up on the main Mercy Thompson series. After a book binge last summer for CBR14, I only had two to read. SPOILERS AHEAD AS THIS IS A LONG-RUNNING SERIES Smoke Bitten is twelfth in the series and picks up after the devastating ending of Storm Cursed where they had to kill a nasty nest of local witches. Alpha werewolf Adam is emotionally haunted after killing Elizaveta, their former friend and witch advisor. Coyote shifter […]

A subversion of the fated mates trope in Tangle of Need

Tangle of Need by Nalini Singh

by Leave a Comment

I’m slowly making my way through the first set of Psy Changeling novels by Nalini Singh. As Singh is from New Zealand and Tangle of Need has the couple trotting the globe, this counts towards the passport challenge. CBR15 Passport Challenge: Books from different countries (book 2 of 3) In the eleventh book, Singh subverts the idea of fated mates with Lieutenant wolf shifter Riaz and wolf soldier Adria. Riaz’s wolf recognized a married woman as his mate. He struggles with the fact they can never […]

A slow burn romance with a deadly telekinetic and a wolf alpha.

Kiss of Snow by Nalini Singh

by Leave a Comment

CBR Bingo: Cold I’ve been tearing through Nalini Singh’s Psy Changeling novels. Kiss of Snow is the tenth book in the original series. Using this for the “Cold” square due to “Snow” in the title. But also down to the cold nature of the Psy in this world. I highly recommend you read the other nine books before this one. The tension between the love interests has been building across multiple books. So many fans say this is their favorite one. The hype level was […]
