I love her Mortal Instruments series, but this time period thing is not my style, like Infernal Devices. Also, a storyline that is unpleasant and drags through the whole story and is not resolved by the end bugs me.

On to Covert Evidence

Sillylittlefishey | 1025 comments Finished Discount Armageddon (InCryptid, #1) by Seanan McGuire It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover . It Ends with Us was really good, but heartbreaking too.

Now I'm reading Fake It 'Til You Break It by Meagan Brandy , which has been better than I expected so far.

My library is closing for 2 weeks for the cornovirus so hopefully I can keep myself busy with the books I have at home and my kindle, and hopefully I don't bankrupt myself using the kindle lol.

DemetraP | 379 comments I'm reading the new Mercy Thompson release, Smoke Bitten. I really like this series. But you should start with book 1 otherwise you'll be lost.

She's a magical being, who seems to attract trouble and all she wants to do is just be a mechanic and do the right thing. Book 1 is Moon Called. Great series to binge read.

Moon Called (Mercy Thompson, #1) by Patricia Briggs

DemetraP | 379 comments I liked the latest Mercy Thompson but I felt like a lot of the plot had already been done earlier in the series. I don't want to give any spoilers.

The book needed more Stefan in my opinion.

I tend to read a lot of indie romance in general and tend to prefer a lot of them over others because they can push the boundaries in ways that mainstream authors aren't allowed. Many of my favorites are indies and many of my most disliked books are mainstream. IMO there are just as many badly written books by trad pubbed authors as there are indie, just perhaps in different ways.

OK, so I have loads to offer, quite a few of which are KU

T.S. Joyce is one of my go to 'comfort read' PNR authors, in particular of novella length shifter stories. Admittedly her books are formulaic, but her world and the narrative arc in her Damon’s Mountains Universe especially is really interesting and most of her characters are so loveable. There's lots of humor in her books as well as some angst, some action and a wonderful lack of billionaires and the uber-wealthy as she focuses much more on 'normal' working people, albeit ones who transform into various different animals! She also includes some characters with disabilities or illnesses of various sorts and has not been afraid of including a few alpha females too. And family dynamics play heavily into her plots.

I've also enjoyed Ridgeville Series and Grayslake Series which are both by Celia Kyle and are also plenty of fun, with some angst included in a few of the books.

A new one I've discovered recently is Zoe Chant. Only 2 novellas in and her Fae Shifter Knights is already a firm and incredibly fun favorite about knights that travel into the mortal realm after being trapped in glass Xmas ornaments! And there is so much more to discover from these authors.

And another recent discovery is Shifting Seasons Series. On the whole it's well written but I found it a tad on the bland side, although I'm definitely in the minority there.

Some others I've read including some standalones,

Darkling Trilogy by A.D. Koboah
Witch For Hire series by Shyla Colt
At Death It Begins trilogy by Elle Jefferson
Pearl Vampire Chronicles by Dara J. Nelson

The Midwinter Mail-Order Bride (The Dead Lands, #1; Mail-Order Brides, #4) by Kati Wilde is high fantasy and really entertaining and was a surprising one for me. Now I just need to get to the other 3 that are currently out in her Deadlands series.
Dragon of Ash & Stars The Autobiography of a Night Dragon by H. Leighton Dickson This is not romance, and is high fantasy and is FANTASTIC. The author also has two other series's currently on going that interest me, one is steampunk and the other is high fantasy with gene spliced cat people!
Going Nowhere by Lena North Also not a romance but is HILARIOUS! and is perma free on kobo and kindle. Includes a unicorn shifter BFF, a sassy grandma and two possible love interests.

Mating the Huntress by Talia Hibbert by one of my favorite CR authors, this is her only PNR so far.
Capture of a Heart by Mya Lairis high fantasy shortie
The Provider by Mya Lairis a MM werewolf story
Asira Awakens by Chevelle Allen was a standalone when I read it
Witchlight by J.S. Watts well written but a bit bland IMO
Haeven by S.M. Bowles same as above

Here's hoping at least one of these sparks your interest!

And it wouldn't be a proper rec if I didn't mention my beloved Green Creek a MM werewolf/witch series, which MUST be read in order. Although this series started out with an indie press, they stopped paying their authors so TJ Klune was lucky enough to be in a position buy back his rights and has reissued the series himself. These books are beautifully written with so much heart and are very strong character wise but with strong themes and plot.

Wolfsong (Green Creek, #1) by T.J. Klune this is one of my favorite books with my actual favorite character of all time.
Ravensong (Green Creek, #2) by T.J. Klune
Lovesong (Green Creek #2.5) by T.J. Klune author website freebie
Heartsong (Green Creek, #3) by T.J. Klune
Feralsong (Green Creek #3.5) by T.J. Klune author website freebie
Brothersong (Green Creek, #4) by T.J. Klune last in series due out in August.

DemetraP | 379 comments I just binge read the entire Hailey Edwards Necromancer series. It has some humor, quirky characters, and some mysteries to solve.

Heroine is a necromancer who was accused of killing her aunt and has been in prison since she was 16. She is just released by her other aunt who says she didn't do it.

She is trying to pick up the pieces of her life and re-learn her magic. There are 2 love interests, (not a love triangle, she is with one guy and then after that the other guy, not at the same time)

How to Save an Undead Life (Beginner's Guide to Necromancy, #1) by Hailey Edwards There are 8 books.
