I’m over at Dear Author with a review of Winter Lost by Patricia Briggs. While not the strongest book in the series, nonetheless, a welcome return to the Mercyverse. It kept me engrossed and there’s lots of Adam and Mercy together so yay.

I’m over at Dear Author with a review of Storm Cursed by Patricia Briggs. Mercy is back and this time she’s fighting witches.
I’m over at AudioGals with a review of Spellbinder by Thea Harrison, narrated by Sophie Eastlake. Another winner in a favourite series.
Why I read it: I’m a fan of the series. After finishing the first in this trilogy of novellas, Dragos Goes To Washington on audio, I bought the next two in digital format because impatient.
What it’s about: (from Goodreads) After making a diplomatic pact with humankind and the other leaders of the Elder Races, Pia Cuelebre, mate to Dragos Cuelebre, Lord of the Wyr, reluctantly heads to Hollywood to spend a week with the Light Fae Queen, Tatiana, before the busy Masque season hits New York in December.
Dragos has never let the lack of an invitation stop him from doing anything he wanted. Unwilling to let his mate make the trip without him, he travels to southern California in secret to be with her.
But when an ancient enemy launches a shattering assault against the Light Fae, Dragos and Pia must intercede. The destruction threatens to spread and strike a mortal blow against all of the magically gifted, both human and Elder Race alike.
Working with the Light Fae to neutralize the danger, Dragos and Pia find their deepest vulnerabilities challenged and their most closely held secrets threatened with exposure.
Series spoilers follow: Be ye warned.
What worked for me (and what didn’t): The title, while cute, is a bit misleading. The action of the novella takes place in a little more than 24 hours and Pia doesn’t have time to do anything Hollywood while it takes place. (I trust she did some during the remainder of her visit however.)
Particularly because Pia is pregnant with their second child, Dragos is very reluctant to let Pia go to Hollywood without him. However, the point of her going is to demonstrate trust and foster good relations between demesnes and Dragos going too would defeat that purpose. So, he follows incognito and they plan to meet up whenever they can and remain in touch telepathically. That way he can be close at hand if something happens. The added bonus is that their recent mating frenzy hasn’t quite worn off and both of them have needs. A week is a long time in Mating Frenzy-Land. Continue reading
I’m over at AudioGals with a review of Midnight’s Kiss by Thea Harrison, narrated by Sophie Eastlake. I was so glad the Carling/Julian conflict was resolved here as well.
I’m over at Dear Author with a review of Dead Heat by Patricia Briggs. It’s the latest instalment in the Alpha & Omega series and I loved it so hard I can’t even tell you.
