It’s the biggest and most dangerous dating show in the universe!

Sweep of the Heart by Ilona Andrews

by 2 Comments

This is not the place to start The Innkeeper Chronicles, as it’s the sixth installment overall (four full books and a novella come before it). This story has a LOT of callbacks to previous stories, so just start with Clean Sweep if you haven’t tried this yet. Innkeepers Dina DeMille and Sean Evans are still trying to recover from the last cosmic adventure that taxed them when they discover that Wilmos, the aging werewolf who’s pretty much Sean’s surrogate grandfather has been abducted. The traces […]

Hooked on the Alpha & Omega series

Alpha & Omega by Patricia Briggs

Cry Wolf by Patricia Briggs

Hunting Ground by Patricia Briggs

Fair Game by Patricia Briggs

by 2 Comments

The natural progression of reading the Mercy Thompson novels was diving into the Alpha & Omega series. Anna is an omega wolf, which is very rare to find. She mates with Charles, the stoic Native American werewolf enforcer for the entire US territory. He is who you call upon when alpha wolves get out of line. He is the son of Bran, the Marrock. He is the ruler of the US werewolves and helped raise Mercy. Charles is sort of a brother to Mercy in […]

My 2022 Mercy Thompson binge

Night Broken by Patricia Briggs

Fire Touched by Patricia Briggs

Silence Fallen by Patricia Briggs

Storm Cursed by Patricia Briggs

I was spacing out the Mercy Thompson series over the last few Cannonball Read challenges. Not this go-round. I got hooked and read five in a row! I will keep the spoilers light, but there are some things you may want to keep as a surprise if you haven’t read this series. Night Broken sees Mercy dealing with an unwanted house guest: Christy, Adam’s ex-wife. She has a hell of a stalker and needs the pack’s protection. Out of jealousy, the stalker burned down a […]

“A werewolf is courting me with a dead rabbit. There’s nothing subtle here.”

Wolfsong (Green Creek, #1) by T.J. Klune

by 2 Comments

So I’ve had this book on my TBR for a while, even before Klune got a traditional publishing deal and the The House in the Cerulean Sea broke out, but I didn’t bite the bullet and actually decide to read it until I saw that this gorgeous edition was being released in September 2022. I did end up ordering the Waterstones edition with the gorgeous sprayed edges, and I have no regrets (except for when my copy arrived completely ruined from water damage, but they […]

Young love and demon hunting

Mooncakes by Suzanne Walker and Wendy Xu

CBR14 Bingo: Cozy (this is a super-sweet YA comic. While there are some dark themes, the main vibe here is absolutely cozy.) Nova Huang (she/her) is an orphaned young witch, although she sees the ghosts of her parents during each major holiday, and sometimes just when they feel she might need advice or a good talking to. She lives with her two grandmothers, who sell books of both the mundane and magical varieties. Tam (they/them) on the other hand, seems to have been on their […]

Two duds; neither worthy of a rant

Avalanche by Patrick McManus

Quantum Moon by Denise Vitola

by 1 Comment

I grew up reading (and being read aloud to) Patrick McManus’s stories and essays about his (hopefully highly embellished) childhood, with such wonderful names as The Night the Bear Ate Goombah and Real Ponies Don’t Go Oink. When I saw that he’d written an actual book – a mystery novel – I had to give it a try. It was disappointing. A small-town sheriff hunts for the missing owner of a hunting lodge. It’s a little bit too sexist, a little bit too “aw shucks […]
