I need to check this series out. I have #1 TBR.

I've got this book on hold at the library since December, I think. I'll get it the day it is published... and I'll begin it then, even if I'm reading other, I think.

I caved & preordered the kindle edition. My library doesn't have any SL books. :(

Stevie!!!!!! Can’t wait to get started....

So I couldn’t wait.... Love this series and all the unique shifter characters. (view spoiler)[ SL has a knack for buliding super tough females and the big happy males they choose. I’m happy that we get a few glimpses of her shifter characters from her other series in this badger spinoff. These bad a$$ sisters are front and center and the guys are for support. Charlie and Max are scary gals. But in SL twisted style, it’s so funny and so wrong. At last no good guys were hurt in the making of this book. A lot of material to continue with and I can’t wait. (hide spoiler)]This is a must read for me...

This book was a little too over the top for me. There was a lot of stuff happening but it felt random at times. And Jesus Shelly Laurenston... every character we’ve ever met in one book? It was a lot. I liked it well enough and will always gives Shelly Laurenston her accolades for having a racially diverse world (eyeballing all these other PNR writers who don’t make any effort whatsoever) but I put it down for a couple of days because the first 25% was kinda blah. This book has fan service written all over it.

I just finished reading this and all I’ll say is it’s consistent and hilarious. I saw in other reviews of ppl complaining about cameos from other characters in the world and tbh that was a highlight of the topsy turvy story

I recently read the whole trilogy (I do that) back to back and I rarely stopped laughing. I loved literally everything about it; the OTT, the chaos, the multiple POV's... and that includes the frenetic head whipping back and forth from all the shenanigans. It's absurd, ridiculous ludicrous and I LOVE IT. This is a long comment, but I could write an actual essay about why these books work so well for me.

All the other characters from the Pride series and even a couple from the Magnus Pack popping up all over the place also makes it for me. At no time was I confused about who was who, which it seems many people were, and I think SL does that so successfully where so many other authors try and fail at. It's signature SL it seems.

And like Danielle says in #8, it amazes me that she can so easily include people of different races and write them as normal people (rather than walking talking stereotypes or tokens) when so many other authors are unable or simply unwilling to do the same or even fail to see us at all.

One of the biggest things about it was the biggest turn off for some readers and that was the low level of romance and lack of sex to each book. Personally, that is what made this trilogy the best out of all that I've read from the author so far. That and the fact that the central relationship was between the 3 sisters, fractious though it was at times!

All in all, 5 out of 5 from me.

I need to get back to Shelley’s series. They’re always such a fun read.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Definitely a lot of fun, I've really enjoyed the 3 badger girls.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

I’ve seen lots of good reviews. I’ll get back to um eventually 😁
