Frost Burned by Patricia Briggs
CBR Bingo: Series I usually take my time with my urban fantasy series. I like to savor them and read a few worlds at a time. To not let the reviews pile up (again), I usually read one or two books in a row. Not this go round. I’ve read five in a row for the OG Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs. I’ve also fallen in love with the first three books in the spin-off Alpha & Omega series. Once I got going, it […]
Mate Set by Laurann Dohnor
Listen, I promise they won’t all be this long, but I had FEELINGS about this one. Mate Set by Laurann Dohner Story: 0 stars Narrator: 4.5 stars WARNING 1: CONSENT ISSUES WARNING 2: SPOILERS WARNING 3: I’D HAVE THROWN THIS BOOK IF IT HADN’T BEEN AN AUDIOBOOK I WAS PLAYING ON MY PHONE
Forged in Flames by Ali Williams
I’d read some of the author’s contemporary romances before so when I found out she had a shifter romance coming out? Heck yes! And it’s absolutely delightful, with a strong heroine and the exact opposite of an alphahole hero. It’s no exaggeration to say that Kenna is very surprised when the statue she’s working on suddenly turns into Belisama, a goddess she’s never heard of, and proclaims that she’s her priestess. But the blacksmith figures she can just shrug it off and finish off the […]
Branded by Fire (Psy-Changeling, #6) by Nalini Singh
Blaze of Memory (Psy-Changeling, #7) by Nalini Singh
Bonds of Justice (Psy-Changeling, #8) by Nalini Singh
Play of Passion (Psy-Changeling, #9) by Nalini Singh
I’m completely hooked on Nalini Singh’s expansive Psy-Changeling universe. In this near-future world, the psy run the world with cool efficiency. They have powers ranging from telekinesis to foresight. The Psy have shunned all emotion with the Silence protocol. Any psy who shows emotion is reconditioned, which means a full lobotomy level brain wipe. They go to such extremes because their powers have driven people to homicidal rampages. At the start of the series, a Psy council member wants to partner with the San Francisco […]
Love and Other Wild Things by Molly Harper
Love and Other Wild Things is the second book in the Mystic Bayou series by Molly Harper. Said bayou deep in Louisana attracts magical beings. The town is near a mysterious rift that’s catnip to shifters, witches, and any other magic being that you name. Decades ago humans and magi settled in Mystic Bayou. They mostly live in harmony. Through the series, we meet scientists who have come to observe and research the unique place. In the first book, How to Date Your Dragon, an […]
Magic Bites (Kate Daniels, #1) by Ilona Andrews
I liked this, but it was the least well put together of the books I’ve read from these authors yet. I would have continued on anyway, but I’m glad for the heads up everyone has given me that this series improves. Mostly, I’m fed up with the alpha dick measuring that Curran and his pack have going on. I find it very irritating and I hope he knocks it off. So this is the first book in the much beloved Kate Daniels urban fantasy series, […]
