Retro Review: The Undoing by Shelly Laurenston

October 18, 2024 by Angela 1 Comment

Review originally posted on Fiction Vixen in March of 2016 by Angela. The Undoing by Shelly LaurenstonCall of Crows #2PNRFirst Published March 29, 2016 by Kensington I read Shelly Laurenston when I need something just a little bit crazy, but a whole lot funny. Anyone who has enjoyed either her Pride series or Dragon series written under the pen name G.A. Aiken knows exactly what I’m talking about. The Undoing is the second book in the Call of Crows series and features Jace, Continue Reading

August 9, 2024 by Angela Leave a Comment

Review originally posted in March 2015 by Angela at Fiction Vixen. Bite Me by Shelly LaurenstonPride #9PNRFirst published March 25, 2014 by Brava There is something about this series that keeps me coming back for more. I love the laugh out loud humor, dialogue and crazy over the top characters. I love how Ms. Laurenston has created characters who in human form embody every trait from their animal sides. I love that the woman are just as blood thirsty and scary as their men. And Continue Reading

Melinda’s Mini-Reviews: Breaking Badger by Shelly Laurenston and With You Forever by Chloe Liese

September 13, 2021 by Melinda 1 Comment

Breaking Badger by Shelly LaurenstonHoney Badger Chronicles #4Paranormal RomanceAugust 31, 2021KensingtonARC Breaking Badger is the 4th in Shelly Laurenston’s Honey Badger series that I absolutely have loved. They’ve all been books that make me literally laugh out loud to the point that I can’t listen to these books in public because I always get awkward stares. Laurenston’s humor is definitely hit or miss, if you look up her reviews they are filled with either ‘what the hell is this’ or Continue Reading

August 31, 2021 by Angela Leave a Comment

The Devil You Know by Kit RochaMercenary Librarians #2Fantasy/DystopiaAugust 31, 2021, by Tor BooksARC Being a Kit Rocha fangirl, I'm super excited for pretty much any new release by this author duo. The Devil You Know is the second book in the Mercenary Librarians series, and focuses on Maya and Gray. Maya's brain is a weapon, she was trained to carry data, and anything she has seen, heard, read, and experienced is stored in her memory and she literally can not forget. She is also Continue Reading

Smexy’s April TBR

April 2, 2020 by Angela 2 Comments

Hunting Fiends for the Ill-Equipped (The Guild Codex: Demonized #3) by Annette Marie 4/3 Urban Fantasy- I've enjoyed this author since discovering her through the KU program. This is a fun series and I'm looking forward to getting caught up with Robin and Zylas. Will they figure out how to free him from the pact they made? Will they take things to the next Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- Fantasy/PNR Reviews for books by Shelly Laurenston, Sierra Dean, and MaryJanice Davidson

April 1, 2020 by Angela Leave a Comment

Badger to the Bone by Shelly LaurenstonHoney Badger Chronicles #3PNRMarch 31, 2020 by KensingtonARC I'm still surprised when I find readers who love PNR, but still haven't picked up a Shelly Laurenston book. I mean if you love zany, laugh out loud humor and a crazy good time, this is the author for you. I won't even get into the plot but suffice it to say it's full of ups and downs and wild and crazy characters. This is Max's story and it begins when she rushes headlong into her own Continue Reading

Smexy’s March TBR

March 2, 2020 by Angela 6 Comments

Angela- Remember last month when I said I had a gazillion books to read this month? I was totally serious. For some reason a crap ton of great books release every March (which also happens to be my birthday month) and every March I overload myself on ARCs I simply must have. Here are just a few of the books I'm most anticipating this month. House of Earth and Blood (Crescent City #1) by Sarah J Mass 3/3 Fantasy- As soon as I found out this author was releasing a book in a new series I had to Continue Reading
