I’m slowly making my way through the Mercy Thompson series and really enjoying all of this storytelling. I’m loving Mercy and all of the shenanigans she gets herself into and I’m curious to see where Samuel’s story arc will lead us. Does he get his own mate and will we see it here in the MT world or on his own? Does anyone know? I’m almost done with Silver Borne and it’s another good one so I’m a happy camper.Mercy Thompson, car mechanic and shapeshifter, never knows what the day - or night - may bring in a world where "witches, vampires, werewolves, and shapeshifters live beside ordinary people" (Booklist). But she is about to learn that while some secrets are dangerous whose who seek them are just plain deadly...
Mercy is smart enough to realize that when it comes to the magical fae, the less you know, the better. But you can't always get what you want. When she attempts to return a powerful fae she previously borrowed in an act of desperation, she finds the bookstore locked up and closed down.
It seems the book contains secrets - and the fae will do just about anything to keep it out of the wrong hands. And if that doesn't take enough of Mercy's attention, her friend Samuel is struggling with his wolf side - leaving Mercy to cover for him lest his own father declare Samuel's life forfeit.
All in all, Mercy has had better days. And if she isn't careful, she may not have many more...
Right now, I’m playing catch up in the Mercy Thompson series and I’m loving every minute of reading these books. I’m on book 4 right now but I love the heck out of Mercy and Adam, I’m low key scared about what’s to become of Samuel now that Mercy has made her choice and I’m anxious for what’s to come. Mercy be pissing everyone off. Haha and I love it! Mercy ain’t no bitch! Because I’m a nosy bitch, I’ve been reading through every book blurb for this series and I’m super anxious to read all of these books so even though I have a long way to go, I’m excited to read this book. I have until March to finish the series so I’ve got plenty to keep me company until then but man…I can’t wait to get to this book.In this new instalment in the No. 1 New York Times bestselling series, Mercy Thompson must face a deadly enemy to defend all she loves . . . My name is Mercedes Athena Thompson Hauptman, and I am a car mechanic.
And a coyote shapeshifter . . . And the mate of the Alpha of the Columbia Basin werewolf pack.
Even so, none of that would have gotten me into trouble if, a few months ago, I hadn't stood upon a bridge and taken responsibility for the safety of the citizens who lived in our territory. It seemed like the thing to do at the time. It should have only involved hunting down killer goblins, zombie goats, and an occasional troll. Instead, our home was viewed as neutral ground, a place where humans would feel safe to come and treat with the fae.
The reality is that nothing and no one is safe. As generals and politicians face off with the Gray Lords of the fae, a storm is coming and her name is Death.
But we are pack, and we have given our word. We will die to keep it.
If anyone ever said being an adult was easy, they hadnât been one long enough. Diana Casillas can admit it: she doesnât know what the hell sheâs doing half the time. How sheâs made it through the last two years of her life without killing anyone is nothing short of a miracle. Being a grown-up wasnât supposed to be so hard. With a new house, two little boys she inherited the most painful possible way, a giant dog, a job she usually loves, more than enough family, and friends, she has almost everything she could ever ask for. Except for a boyfriend. Or a husband. But who needs either one of those?Every month, my book buddy Ames and I read a book together that we then review together here in my blog. This is our pick for November and though I thought I’d have it read already, I haven’t touched it yet but I will…this is probably going to be the first book that I read in November.
In Highlander Most Wanted, a reclusive woman content to live in the shadows shows a Highland warrior the true meaning of love.My book club enjoyed Never Seduce a Scot so much that they wanted to keep that discussion going into the second book of this series so we’re reading Highlander Most Wanted for discussion this month. I’m pretty anxious myself to get this book read so on my TBR pile this goes.
Genevieve McInnes is locked behind the fortified walls of McHugh Keep, captive of a cruel laird who takes great pleasure in ruining her for any other man. Yet when Bowen Montgomery storms the gates on a mission of clan warfare, Genevieve finds that her spirit is bent but not broken. Still, her path toward freedom remains uncertain. Unable to bear the shame of returning to a family that believes her dead or to abandon others at the keep to an imposing new laird, Genevieve opts for the peaceful life of an abbess. But Bowenâs rugged sensuality stirs something deep inside her that longs to be awakened by his patient, gentle caressâsomething warm, wicked, and tempting.
Bowen seizes his enemyâs keep, unprepared for the brooding and reclusive woman who captures his heart. Heâs enchanted by her fierce determination, her unusual beauty, and her quiet, unfailing strength. But wooing her will take more than a seasoned seducerâs skill. For loving Genevieve, he discovers, means giving her back the freedom that was stolen from herâeven if it means losing her forever.
From the beloved and bestselling author of the Ransom Canyon and Harmony, Texas series comes a powerful, heartwarming story about generations of family and the ironclad bonds they forge.Each month, my Book Binge buddies and I will be reading and reviewing a book together and we’re taking turns picking the book. It is the only time that I can force them to read any book that I want them to read and they have to read it. The only downside is that they get to force me to read a book too. Holly was up to choose our buddy book this month and she chose Mornings on Main by Jodi Thomas. I’ve only read one book by Thomas and I can’t remember a thing about it so this should be interesting.
When Jillian James lands in the small town Texas community of Laurel Springs, she’s definitely not planning to stay–except to find a few clues about the father who abandoned her and destroyed her faith in family.
Connor Larady is a single dad, and the only one caring for his grandmother, Eugenia, who has Alzheimer’s. And now he has to close Eugenia’s quilt shop. When Connor meets down-on-her-luck Jillian, he’s out of options. Can he trust the newcomer to do right by his grandmother’s legacy?
Jillian is done with relationships. But as she grows closer to Connor and Eugenia, she must consider giving up her nomadic life for a future with those who need her.
An inspiring family saga that asks us to consider what love and chosen family really mean.
The first time I met Jax Blackwood things went a little sideways.I’ve been hearing nothing but good things about this book so I need to read this pronto. I read and enjoyed the other books in this series so I’m looking forward to digging into Jax’s story. Kristen Callihan is so good at writing these rock star romances. I am so thirsty for more.
In my defense, I didnât know he was Jax Blackwoodâwho expects a legendary rock star to be shopping for groceries? More importantly, a blizzard was coming and he was about to grab the last carton of mint-chocolate chip.
Still, I might have walked away, but then he smugly dared me to try and take the coveted ice cream. So I kissed him. And distracted that mint-chip right out of his hands.
Okay, it was a dirty move, but desperate times and all that. Besides, I never expected heâd be my new neighbor.
An annoying neighbor who takes great pleasure in reminding me that I owe him ice cream but would happily accept more kisses as payment. An irresistible neighbor who keeps me up while playing guitar nakedâspectacularly nakedâin his living room.
Clearly, avoidance is key. Except nothing about Jax is easy to ignoreânot the way he makes me laugh, or that his particular brand of darkness matches mine, or how one look from him melts me faster than butter under a hot sun.
Neither of us believes in love or forever. Yet weâre quickly becoming each otherâs addiction. But we could be more. We could be everything.
All we have to do is trust enough to fall.
From the New York Times bestselling author that âhilariously depicts modern datingâ (Us Weekly) comes a sexy romantic comedy about online dating, and its many, many fails.I watched Sierra Burgess is a Loser on Netflix and a huge part of that movie was about a girl catfishing a boy and that was my least favorite part of the movie. I mean, I didn’t like the movie at all because of all the lying and asshole behavior going on but the catfishing part, I really hated that part….so I have no idea why I wanted to read this book so much that I requested it for review. I must have a lot of faith in Christina Lauren’s writing ability because even though I’m not a fan of catfishing and lying, I still really want to read this book. I’ll definitely be reading this book next month for sure.
With a world-famous speaker at their university, Millie Morris and her four woefully single male colleagues make a pact that theyâll all find dates. Unfortunately, Millie has more success helping them make matches online than she does navigating the onslaught of lewd pics in her own feed. But when she creates a fictional name for a new account, Millie finds herself vying for the online attention of a man she sees every day in the flesh.
After finishing Iron Kissed, I couldn’t not read the next book because I needed to know that Mercy was okay and even though I know how strong she is, Iron Kissed kicked both of our asses and I needed to keep that reading adventure going because my heart was broken for everyone. I need Patricia Briggs to make it right again. I’ve got my fingers crossed that everything will be alright. I’m about a third of the way into this book and I’m liking what I’m reading so far. I mean, not the whole thing with Stefan or that the vampire Queen knows Mercy’s secret and is after her but everything else. I’m glad that Mercy and Adam are working on their relationship and seeing Adam with Mercy, man it just melts me at every turn because he’s so good to her. She’s so good for him, too. I love these two.By day, Mercy is a car mechanic in the sprawling Tri-Cities of Eastern Washington. By night, she explores her preternatural side. As a shapeshifter with some unique talents, Mercy has often found herself having to maintain a tenuous harmony between the human and the not so human. This time she may get more than she bargained for.
Marsilia, the local Vampire Queen, has learned that Mercy crossed her by slaying a member of her clanâand she's out for blood. But since Mercy is protected from direct reprisal by the werewolf pack (and her close relationship with its sexy Alpha), it won't be Mercy's blood Marsilia is after.
It'll be her friends'.
