So you married a werewolf …(or baby now we maybe got bad blood)

Bride by Ali Hazelwood

April 20, 2024 by dreadpiratekel Leave a Comment

I will admit when I first heard that this book was a thing, I was a bit of a hater about it.  I went “It’s a vampyre and werewolf romance and the vampyre’s name is Misery … oh here we go.”  Then I heard it had alpha/beta/omega tropes that I was familiar with from fanfiction and I maybe eye-rolled a bit.  Because I was being judgey (to be clear I read fanfic, and I love a lot of fanfic, I just personally tend not to […]

Midlife Bounty Hunter by Shannon Mayer

A supernatural bounty hunter who needs to remember age is just a number

Mid-Life Bounty Hunter by Shannon Mayer

December 31, 2023 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

I read a fun short story by Shannon Mayer in the Kicking It anthology. I’m always on the prowl for a new paranormal/urban fantasy series, so decided to pick up Midlife Bounty Hunter in an audible sale. I’m also in my forties, so thought it be nice to read about a hero around my age. The first book in the Forty Proof series follows Breena returning divorced to Savannah. She is living with her ex’s cousin and looking for work. He recommends her for a bounty […]
