Sweet romance with a touch of humor.
Could maybe have been a bit more fleshed out, given a bit more time instead of the insta love.

Review: I really enjoyed this one! The worldbuilding was at times hard to follow, but I felt like the characters made up for it. Max and Bryan were amazing with chemistry that jumped off the page. Definitely a series I'll want to continue.

Review: I liked this even more than the first one! I really enjoyed both Tank and Isaac and their dynamic between each other. Carriger is doing a wonderful job at slowly giving more information of the world, without feeling lost for not having it before.
Changed my mind to
Works for this / pass the parcel and Ocean ...gotta take the breaks when they show up.

How it qualifies: MPG Shapeshifters
Date Read: 5/4/2022
Rating: 4 Stars
Review: If you're like me and love shifters outside of the norm, and lots of different fantasy beings, Maz is totally the author for you! While I'm reading this series very slowly, it's always incredibly easy to fall back into this amazing world. I loved Tahl and Mack, definitely cried while reading this one, and just fell in love with the town of stallion ridge just a bit more.

Here is your next task!Task 10 - 49. Each teammate reads a book published in the same month and year, teams decide. No pass for this task.
As a team select a month and year, then each teammate reads a book initially published in that month and year. Make sure you use the initial publication date. If there is a date at the top of the editions page, use it. Otherwise, I will be looking for the earliest dated English language edition regardless of format for the qualification. Please include the selected month/year combo in your completion posts.
We have picked a date but im going to look through all of our SH books and see if any of them fall on the same date and we could change to that
That's fine with me! Was I one of the ones that had it? Lol if not I'll do an N book for snoop
