Question #5

Who is your favorite author?

Task: Read a book by your partners favorite author.

[Wende]

My favorite author? How can I pick that. I guess I will pick the one on kindle unlimited. I love so many but Jordan Castillo Price and Jordan L. Hawk are my favorites. But Jordan L. Hawk is not Kindle Unlimited so the other Jordan wins.

Perfect, will go search now... :)

[Kari]

This is so hard, I don't have one single favorite either. And I change my mind all the time depending on my mood. For paranormal, lately I've been enjoying books by Alice Winters because they make me laugh, so I'll go with that.

For paranormal right now I like reading Alice Winters. But next week I might change my mind, lol.

I'll check her out!

[Wende]

My two favorite series of hers are Witchblood and Stalked by Shadows.

[Wende]

I have my book picked out Of Secrets and Wolves
It is good so far. Not as snarky yet as she usually gets

[Wende]

I had stopped reading Alice Winters because the humor was so over the top it took away from my enjoyment. Tjis one is not like it. Yes it is funny but it just the right mixture.

Loved it but so happy the next one is already out. 😂😂 That ending left a lot to be desired
She rocked this book. The main characters were funny but not over the top. Now I have to fit in book 2 and 3

I'm glad it was good. I agree her characters are normally very snarky. I haven't read the one you chose, now I'm looking forward to it!

Body Art by Jordan Castillo Price

Read: 1/10/23 - 4 stars
Fits: Wende's favorite author

I liked it. It had more mystery than actual romance which worked out well. The characters were all super quirky and I wish it would've been a bit longer.

[Wende]

I hope you like. I always get nervous sharing my favorite because others might not like it. I know you only gave her 3 stars so really very nervous

Same thing happens to me, I always get nervous when I recommend anything!

I liked it a lot. It was more murder mystery than paranormal, and I loved the setup.
