Jumping on the bandwagon

Bride by Ali Hazelwood

January 2, 2025 by Jen K 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

December 29, 2024 by teresaelectro 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 […]

Soul Taken by Patricia Briggs

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

December 30, 2023 by teresaelectro 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

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 […]

An unintentional Mercy Thompson reading binge.

Frost Burned by Patricia Briggs

August 1, 2022 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

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 […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.
Dixie on Track Her Down by Melinda LeighI am just starting Track Her Down and I have read them all in order till now and thought I...
Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
