Soul Taken (Mercy Thompson 13) by Patricia Briggs – March 8th 2022!!
ERMAHGERD!!! My favorite urban fantasy series EVER. I recently listened to them on audio books, and they were awesome. Great narrator (presenter? reader?). Hands down the best werewolf lore out there.
One new release to add is Lola Wright’s Pigeon (Devil Angel’s MC, Book 6)..If you like MC series and haven’t read this one, you should give it a try. MC books with a little humor thrown in!
I just added it on today’s Friday Finds!!! Thank you Kathy!! 😀 I love your feedback especially on the fact that the series is somewhat humorous.
I loved It Happened One Summer so I can’t wait to get my hands on Hook, Line and Sinker!
Let me know what you think of it, Michele 🙂 I love that author.
I just got it from the library! I’ll keep you posted!
Done……Ferrara was hot hot hot!!! Have a book hangover now. Highly recommend this one!! Can’t say anymore without giving something away!!
Loved The Italian (that cover!!) so definitely grabbed Ferrari!
YAY!! Next one up for me
Please add Feather & Flame, going live on March 8th…this is book two in the Birdsong Trilogy by Nina Lane. Sparrow & Hawke is already out and the last book will be out on March 15th.
If you loved her Spiral of Bliss series featuring Liv and Dean, then Nell and Darius and their forbidden love will blow you away!
Thank you MJ! I just added it to today’s new release roundup. 😀
Thank YOU, Maryse! This one and the entire trilogy truly deserve to be read.
Few books I really liked
Against A Wall by Cate C. Wells – This book was a wonderful surprise. Expected a traditional bully or an enemies-to-lovers story. But this was so much more. Depth, good writing, and an “adorably confused alpha”. Great mountain setting too. 5★
Kingdom Fall by A. Zavarelli – A very good mafia romance. (Although not my fave trope, I really liked this one.) Sizzle, chemistry and hot hot alpha, mafia king Alessio. Maybe too many plot twists but let’s just focus on Alessio. LOL 4.5★
After reading KF I just couldn’t help myself and HAD to read Maddest Obsession by Danielle Lori. The quirky banter and one of the edgiest alphas I’ve come across. OMG! 5+++★
I will add these to this week’s Friday Finds. 🙂
