- Blind date with a Werewolf by Patricia Briggs (PNR, connected short stories, audio ALC, pub date: 10/21)
New & expanded stories featuring Asil, a very old and reclusive wolf, who is dared by old concerned friends into a series of blind dates. Fun, dangerous & unexpected.
CWs: violence, grief
- The Vampire in the Potting Shed (Groom & Doom 1) by Hailey Edwards
This was sort of a dud. Bait &switchy with too much set up and not enough story. Curious if the story will hit its stride later.
CWs: overprotective parent, loneliness PT: abandonment, bullying, isolation.
- Skinny Dipping Dare bk 1 WW/WM
- Ambushed by Love bk 3 (reread) WW/WM 50+ widower
- Take a Chance on Me bk 2 AW/WM
all from the SEALs at Camp Firefly Falls by Zoe York.
Summer camp romances that get more serious and complicated than any one expected. Really enjoyed the conflicts!
- Between Then & Now (Wardham 1) by Zoe York (WM/WW, marriage in trouble novella).
Too many things left unsaid and fears and insecurity building up for Carrie and Ian.
CWs: PT: unplanned pregnancy, pregnancy loss.
- Witch of the Wolves by Kaylee Archer (Historical PNR, WW/WM)
Kidnapped by her werewolf father Cordelia must untangle the lies and figure out who to trust and who to fear. Great inner voice & big conflicts.
CWs: sexism, threats of SA, violence, murder, queer phobia.
- The Mysterious Case of the Missing Crime Writer A Mystery by Ragnar Jónasson (cozyish mystery)
Bk 2 but I jumped in with this one & enjoyed it all the way to the last chapter where I was not prepared for the cliffhanger ending of one of the storylines!
Cw: abuse, stalking, murder, lies.
