Jessica's Book Thoughts

I love these characters. While this is a spin-off to Laurenston’s Pride series books, there are a lot of new characters being introduced, lots of weasels, badgers and bears... on my! I can’t help but wish that there was more focus on the main guy in the story. I think he is awesome, but feel like I barely know him. Now the MacKilligan sisters are awesome, love those freaks, and I love Britta too! Can’t wait to read some of the new characters stories when they come out. This is seriously making me want to reread the original series. You get hockey, roller derby, and more with a heaping dose of crazy shifters who have major self control issues.

Not much romance so far, but loving these crazy, freakish, halfbreed bitches so much! Go freakish honey badgers! The one, man is she awesome in shifted form!

I was getting so upset because I didn’t think Netgalley was going to approve my request for this, I absolutely did not want to wait for the publish date of March 27, too long. Checked last night and it was there. Woo Hoo! And perfect timing, I really need a distraction right now!

Not very far along in the book, but man I forgot how funny Laurenston was. Already giggling and love the flawed characters so much! Anyone hasn’t read this author’s work and likes shifter romance, or humorous romance needs to pick this up. Actually start at the beginning of the Pride series. Her Magnus Pack is also in the same world, but in my opinion the Pride series are better and I used the Magnus Pack as kind of space fillers between her releasing her Call of Crows books and her Pride books.

So far we got a tough shifter female searching for her sister while hired assassins are coming after her.

Popped on Facebook before laying down tonight. See a mouth dropping post... my hubbys bff who has been really screwing up his life lately is in a video posted by the police with a caption “help us identify these two people.” I am betting it is over theft, his new drugged out gal is a known thief. They just had baby together and because of her history children’s services was barely letting them keep it. Whoa did they just screw up. 

Does anyone know of a fantasy read, I think this book is over 10 years old, at least, where mind control is used by the “ bad guys” of the book the to force someone to eat themselves? I saw someone mention a book they were looking for the title to where this happens in the book on goodreads the other day. It sounds like something my hubby would like to read is why I ask.

So far I really like this. About what happens after robots defeat humans and how they survive. Starts by following a bot who is scavenging parts from broke bots to trade. No girl or boy label but I think this bot seems more girl.

This girl seems very naive. To the point of her annoying me. I hate when characters ignore the obvious in an attempt to seem innocent.

Not much going on except sex so far. I like romance novels, but it has to have more story too, like fighting and magic. Come on, Ward, don’t let me down.

Finally, I have a device working. Laptop needs new cord after unfortunate incident with vacuum, phone just got old and quit, the tablet has been lost, and the desktop is continuously being used for school work. As much as I hate apple, my new iPhone is pretty easy to use for typing up posts for book likes. Impressed, but I miss android.

Also, I hate this cover. With so many peeps so in love with A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR) series by Maas, this is similar in ways, they need a new cover and I feel a lot of ACOTAR fans would pick this up if it was more eye appealing. It definitely is helping me through my ACOTAR book hangover.

PEP TALK TO SELF:

Just stick it out. The action will come soon. Once all this political world building is done and you finally remember who is who and who hated who this has the potential be everything you love in a sappy romance fantasy novel. Slap a smile on your face and grin and bear it. (Every time I use the words grin and bear it...I think grin and bare it instead. Lol I think of sitting naked and smiling while I complete a dreaded task.) 

I know the action picks up soon,  I snuck a peak at the next book in series, hopefully the magic and fantasy elements become more prevalent soon, I am bored. Shit needs to happen soon, like now! I am so impatient. 

So excited! Warden, you better not let me down. I seriously thought about not continuing with the Black Dagger Brotherhood series, then the Warden released this spin-off series, it is all I like about the earlier BDB books, just new charactwrs added to the mix, and we do get frequent visits from the original bros. Hopefully this is just as good as the previous two books. For those who gave up on the original series, but miss the world these are in, give this spin-off series a shot.

I DON'T HAVE CANCER!!! Got the news yesterday. So happy, still surgery to get it out, but no ovarian cancer. Phew... I was scared. So relieved.
