I’ve just started, and once again you’ve sucked me into a fun new world!

[Kirsten]

A fun new world with no steam!

[Kirsten]

Also, I can put this on hold if you’re not ready to start.

[Kirsten]

I’ve just over half through—I struggled a bit not knowing the world but now that I’m into it’s pretty easy. I really like Wendall and I’m enjoying the suspenseful aspects.

(view spoiler)[the part where his body is literally rotting is a bit hard to get past, though—gorgeous fairy/hideous zombie?!!? (hide spoiler)]

I forgot to mark for notifications so just seeing this now. I'm starting it now.

[MN Lisa, Mistress of Mayhem with a Method]

I've read the first book and it was super sweet. A little (and I mean little) steam at the very end, so I expect the same. But this is the same author as the Maverick Insurance Agency so it's just the right amount.

I'm just done with Ch 1. I don't remember Wendell or Hellfire from the first book, but I remember Lucroy, Phil and Sedrick, Peaches and Parsnip.

All the Pixies have names that start with P. If you go back, I'd say read Book 1. The Garden Gnomes make it worth it.

[MN Lisa, Mistress of Mayhem with a Method]

Ch 2: I remember Hellfire now. The Fairy and they are scary in this world.

I like this author's writing style a lot.

[MN Lisa, Mistress of Mayhem with a Method]

Through Chapter 5. I like that there is another story besides Wendell and Ray, though I think that, plus Wendell's murder are all related and probably with that one Alpha that Vander knows.

[Kirsten]

I finished last night and it was very satisfying. I’m trying to remember if someone’s signed up for creepy. If not, I’m going to read the first for AA.

But I couldnt get over the weirdness of decomposition.

I think I selected for Creepy on AA, but it will be a few days. Go ahead and take it if you want.

I'm hoping he stops decomposing once the bond is in place. I'm just at where they discuss it for the first time, but we know it happens.

It’ll be days and days for me. I have 2 long ones to get thru

[MN Lisa, Mistress of Mayhem with a Method]

Ok. Whoever finishes first. :)

I love how Ray gave Wendall the Scuttlebutt Trinket. It sounds like a cute animal.

It almost seems like Fairies might be Demi/Asexual if they don't mate or feel like humans and other supernaturals.

[Kirsten]

Or Demi/Aromantic. But yes, for sure. Trinket is great!

Watching Ray change his mind about Wendall (and vice versa) is a great pleasure of the book.

I don't always object to slow burn. Apparently only when its across multiple books. :)

[Kirsten]

I think I was looking for more smexy times because I've been reading some horror thrillers, and those are very low on romance! So though this definitely delivered all the romance feels, I was ready for some hot sex.

[MN Lisa, Mistress of Mayhem with a Method]

This author doesn't really do that.

I just got to where Trinket meets Arthur. You know he's bad. Also wondering who Djinn's master is since he seems to want Wendall too....

[MN Lisa, Mistress of Mayhem with a Method]

Ope. Just got to where Arthur is the Djinn's master. This will be interesting. Also to know who killed Wendall.

[MN Lisa, Mistress of Mayhem with a Method]

The wooing has begun, but I'm getting a bit annoyed at the constant reminder that Wendall was murdered, he died, and was reanimated and is now decaying. And that Fairies are not very communicative.

[Kirsten]

I wish I could tell you that changes.

[MN Lisa, Mistress of Mayhem with a Method]

That was pretty cute and I like how Stover got his due.

I did think the Djinn was going to help, but I thought that she would bring him back slightly and the Fairy Queen would complete it since she said that she just needed a spark.

[Kirsten]

Yes, I also thought Silvidia would have more to do with his restoration.

[MN Lisa, Mistress of Mayhem with a Method]

There was zero steam in this one. The First one has some, but its in the epilogue.
