Angela: Last month I only had a couple of ARCs for review, so I caught up on my TBR stack. This month I am overloaded with books to read on my review list, but they all sound fantastic. Storm Cursed (Mercy Thompson #11) by Patricia Briggs 5/7- I actually just finished this one and it was another great addition to the series. Review to come. The Bride Test ( The Kiss Quotient #2) by Helen Hoang 5/7- I LOVED The Kiss Quotient. I've got The Bride Test up next in my reading queue so I'll Continue Reading

Beards, brothers, and bikers! Oh my!Identical twins Beau and Duane Winston might share the same devastatingly handsome face, but where Beau is outgoing and sociable, Duane is broody and reserved. This is why perpetually level-headed Jessica James has been in naïve and unhealthy infatuation with Beau Winston for most of her life. Whereas Duane and Jessica have always been adversaries. She can't stand him, and she's pretty sure he can't stand the sight of her...But after a case of mistaken Continue Reading
Review: Burn Bright by Patricia Briggs
Burn Bright by Patricia Briggs (Alpha & Omega #5) Released: March 6, 2018 Urban Fantasy Ace Reviewed by Mandi The Alpha & Omega series is set in the same world as Briggs' Mercy Thompson series. Over the years, I have found A&O to be consistently amazing, where as sometimes I find Mercy Thompson series to be just okay. (Although overall, both series swirl around as urban fantasy favorites). Briggs is a terrific storyteller. She presents strong, flawed, sometimes terrifying Continue Reading

Review: Dead Heat by Patricia Briggs
Dead Heat by Patricia Briggs (Alpha & Omega #4) Released: March 3, 2015 Urban Fantasy Ace Reviewed by Mandi Another outstanding addition to this fabulous urban fantasy series. Well done Patricia Briggs. Set in the same world as her Mercy Thompson series, the Alpha & Omega series follows Charles (son of the alpha Bran) and Anna (an Omega wolf). I'm not going to recap who Charles and Anna are and how they came to be - I highly recommend this series and reading them in order. I Continue Reading
Review: Night Broken by Patricia Briggs
Night Broken (Mercy Thompson #8) Released: March 11, 2014 Urban Fantasy Ace Reviewed by Mandi I truly love this series but it hasn't been perfect for me. I think the characters and the world are pretty great, but sometimes I'm just darn bored and that kind of happened in this book. Maybe bored isn't the right word but I felt like this book was a filler for two reasons - Adam's ex-wife and the villain. They both seemed to have no purpose unless I'm missing something big and if I am Continue Reading
Review: Frost Burned by Patricia Briggs
Frost Burned by Patricia Briggs (Mercy Thompson #7) Urban Fantasy March 5, 2013 Orbit Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: He laughed again, and his body softened as much as it ever did – there just wasn’t much soft about Adam. “I love you,” he said. “I know,” I told him seriously. “How could you help it?” While the Mercy Thompson series is an absolute favorite of mine, the past couple of books have been a little on the slower side for me. But I am happy to say, Frost Burned Continue Reading
Review: Fair Game by Patricia Briggs and Giveaway (On the Prowl)
Fair Game by Patricia Briggs (Alpha & Omega #3) March 6, 2012 Urban Fantasy Hardcover Orbit Reviewed by Mandi I love this urban fantasy world Patricia Briggs has created. She has expanded it over two series, her Mercy Thompson series and this one, Alpha & Omega. In this series we explore the complex relationship of Charles and Anna. Charles is the only known born werewolf, and son of the Marrock (Alpha of ALL werewolves of North America, Bran). Anna is an Omega, a wolf Continue Reading
