Shen and Stevie are amazing as is the cast of friends and family.

Bamboo eating, mellow, bodyguard and all around great guy and panda shifter, Shen is the hero I have been waiting for a long time. We learn fun about panda sex. lol And Stevie is all over that.

Stevie's sexual agency is awesome. She likes Shen (who wouldn't) and she pursues him. I loved it. He loved it. Honey Badger/Tiger mixed musical and science genius meets contented steady panda shifter for the win.

Shelly Laurenston is one of m ...more

In a Badger Way is the newest installment in Shelly Laurenston’s batsh*t crazy Honey Badger Chronicles, which incidentally are part of her Pride Series World.
Laurenston writes one of my all time favorite shifter series and when she added the Badger sisters to it, it just got more insane and hilarious.
Now we get to see Stevie, who is a hybrid Badger and tiger shifter and the cutie Panda shifter, Shen’s love story. Stevie and Shen’s relationship is adorable and so laidback that it took me off guar ...more

"I want my sisters!"

Wow! What a messed up family the MacKilligans are! I was looking forward to this book after reading Charlie's story. Stevie is an unstable prodigy that can do horrific things. In human form she is a small, almost fragile, woman with a fear of bears. Shen is a panda shifter that she thinks is adorable. Together they are amazing. He has jumped up to book boyfriend status.

The ongoing plot with Max and the feral cat made me laugh. I can't wait to see where the story takes her ...more

I love this spinoff series. It is funny, OTT madcap action and violence. Many shifters & bad dudes were killed in the making of this story.

The 3 mad Honey Badger sisters with the MacKilligan criminal family connections. The first book was centred on Charlie, the oldest sister & this one is about Stevie, the youngest, a prodigy in both music & science. The next book will be about Max, the psychotic one.

Stevie appears fragile and is brilliant but gets panic attacks, especially around bears. And sh ...more

I was worried this wouldn't be as good as the first one, but I was wrong. The book still focuses more on the Honey Badger sisters than the specific romance (Stevie and Shen) and the craziness that is their lives.

What I enjoyed:
* Pretty much everything, but especially the sisters and all the complete craziness
* It was great getting to know Stevie a bit better. Shen is perfect for her since he is so very chill most of the time - just wanting to eat bamboo or have sex.
* We get to know more of Kyle' ...more

DNF 10%

Another attempt, another fail. Shelly Laurenston keeps starting new series but somehow she never lets go of a previously written character anymore. There were no less than 6 POV changes in the first 3 chapters. Number of characters? 10? 20? Who knows.. it’s impossible to keep up.

It’s unreadable. I’ll keep trying with her but it’s becoming hopeless because people still like her books for some reason. She’ll never go back to good writing this way..

I have previously sent feedback and it seems to have disappeared. That said, here goes.

Stevie MacKilligan is young and a brilliant scientist. Many folks want to kidnap her for her incredible skills. While she is brilliant, she suffers from mental heath issues. Laurenston has chosen to portray this in a respectful manner.

Because she is small, non-aggressive, and often so wrapped up in her own little world and therefore a bit of an absent minded professor, she hires Shen Li, a giant panda shifte ...more

I have been a fan of Laurenston's fantastic shifters from almost day one. The honey badgers have their own kind of crazy and I am really excited about the release of "In a Badger Way". The excerpt was just a taste to "wet your whistle", mmm is that honey? The hype for this series is genuine, Laurenston has an uncanny way of giving us characters who are more than they seem and yet hysterically wrong, just wrong.

I can't wait to see the calm Giant Panda shifter vs. the neurotic Honey Badger shifte ...more
