Raine Reiter (rainereiterauthor) | 1 comments Hi. I'm Raine and I am a paranormal suspense writer. I am ready The City We Became by N. K. Jemisin. It is a fascinating premise and the unique multicultural voices are particularly well done.

Maria Vale (mariavale) | 44 comments the Southern Book Club's Gu ide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hedrix and When No One Is Watching by Alyssa Cole. very different settings but both writers do a fantastic job of the slow piling on of an almost Gothic dread. Cole has layers of gaslighting that are particularly suffocating. i mean in a good creepy way

DemetraP | 379 comments I read Meat by Lizzy Bequin. It's on Kindle Unlimited. 3 aliens find a woman and keep her as their mate. Meat by Lizzy Bequin

It's a darker read as the aliens eat people and she's worried she's going to get eaten the first half of the book.

The book is really graphic with the sex scenes too.

Natalie | 1 comments I'm reading Iq'her by Elin Wyn which is part of the Conquered World series.
I will start this one shortly Eternal Demon (Mark of the Vampire, #5) by Laura Wright


kittykat AKA Ms. Tortitude | 398 comments Well, since my last post
Morning Glory by LaVyrle Spencer is a gorgeous romance but the book is also full of so much nonsense it got my back up and ruined the entire experience for me, and
Manna City A Post-Apocalyptic Survival Thriller by Geoffrey Pierce was straight up nasty...

I need to revisit my list above and choose something else from it to start.

Brothersong (Green Creek, #4) by T.J. Klune But I'm also on a countdown at the moment until this beauty (my most anticipated for the whole year!) is released on 13th October...

kittykat AKA Ms. Tortitude | 398 comments Mistaken by Pixie R. Unger I've just finished this and quite enjoyed it! The writing is a bit rough round the edges and it ends kind of abruptly but it's an interesting very slow burn story.

I liked this book too, and agree with you about the writing style, and no real world building.
However, I picked up one of her new books, and if you like Omegaverse, I thought it was outstanding. The writing is fluid, great world building, and the plots are great. Book 1 & 2, it's Omegaverse, perhaps not for everyone. Lots of blood, gore and steam.

Thanks, Omegaverse is not for me, neither is lots of blood & guts lol! I'd read other stuff by her though.

So, the last few for me were
Out of the Wild by Jessica Walker good story, wrong execution.

Maria, after 'discovering' her via booktube a couple of years ago, and seeing SO MANY people either stanning or vilifying SJM and her books, I am loath to ever go down that rabbit hole, even if I am somewhat curious about them!

House of Earth and Blood (Crescent City, #1) by Sarah J. Maas I have been sorely tempted by the latest one though, one of the few times I have been stunned by a beautiful cover. But, can someone explain why the series name is so large but the actual book title is tiny and barely readable? 🤔

It's one of those series (I've been told the 2nd vol is much better, tho). It's like if you don't vote, you lose the right to kvetch. I feel like if I don't read this, I lose the right to grouse in my communities.

Yep, I've heard loads that book 2 is far better than 1, and I get that argument!

DemetraP | 379 comments A Deadly Education (The Scholomance, #1) by Naomi Novik This is a keeper shelf read. The kind you re-read over and over. It is young adult but not whiny young adult. They are just teenagers.

I could not put this book down. I had to know what happened next. The main character is strong and stands up for herself and does the hard things so she can look at herself in the mirror. SPOIERL SPOIER
SPOILER
SP
O
I
LE
RS
.........

The plot is that all magical people who are kids attract "mals" evil creatures that want to eat them and their magic. So a magical school was built to help increase their chances of survival. These "mals" hunt you in between classes, in the library, in the cafeteria line, everywhere.

So every moment is a struggle to survive, make alliances with other kids to live, and learn enough magic so that you can survive graduation (trying to escape the school without getting eaten)

The main character has a magical affinity for destruction and evil. It's actually really funny. The school will give her lessons on how to set off a supervolcano and all she wants is a cleaning spell for her room.

This book had humor, action, some sad parts, and the friendship between her and the guy who keeps trying to save everyone is so funny I laughed out loud multiple times.

I highly recommend this book. There is not a cliffhanger ending but the ending does leave you screaming for more.

DemetraP | 379 comments I liked this book. It's contemporary romance, not paranormal romance but Suzanne Wright writes great shapeshifter romances. It had a slow burn feel to it. He wants to get married to access his trust fund and she's been his personal assistant for 4 years.

I liked how protective he was of her and how he eventually figured out his house was not lonely with her in it. Also, very hot love scenes. The Favor by Suzanne Wright

So I finished this beauty, the first three were re-reads and the rest were first times because the series is now complete. I will forever wax lyrical about this series in particular and the author in general. A 5 star series from start to finish.

And as I need something much lighter after all that angst (and laughter - there is a fair amount of that too, especially in the last book) I'm currently learning about some very unusual types of shifters and magical winged pets🥰... kittens, puppies, dragons and horses!!! This series is my second from this author and is a treat and will have me going down the rabbit hole in their backlist...
