[Martina the Book Fairy]

Martina's December TBR Clean-up Challenge - 4/10

Sucker for Love (Dead End Dating, #5) by Kimberly Raye (★★★) is technically UF since it features the same character who has not yet found her HEA, but it reads much more like a light PNR. It's very chick-lit-ish, as well, Fans of MaryJanice Davidson-type writing will love this series.

Lil Marchette is a 500+ year old born (as opposed to made) vampire with a wicked sense of fashion, a meddlesome family and her own fledgling matchmaking company. When one of her long-time clients goes missing, Lil goes looking for her. A quest that takes her way out of her comfort zone (aka NYC) and into rural Texas.

The book was cute, as the others before were, but somehow weren't as funny. Lil is a bit of a pushover, especially when it comes to her family, and I'd just love to see her stand up to her mother for once!

Normally I think I'd give up on this series, but the snippet for the next book was REALLY interesting so I'll probably end up reading it anyways . . . eventually.

Martina's December TBR Clean-up Challenge - 5/10

In the wee hours of this morning I finished Leader of the Pack (Tales of an Urban Werewolf, #3) by Karen MacInerney (★★★★1/2). This is a werewolf UF series that runs a bit heavy on the romantic (there is some hooking up) but not too heavy on the sex.

The series is about Sophie Garou, a young werewolf in her mid-20's who lives in Austin, TX. She was raised by her mother, is a successful accountant and (previous to the first book) has never met another werewolf. Sure, she has to shave her legs a couple times a day and drink wolfsbane tea to help keep her control around the full moon, but other than that, Sophie is intent on living a life that's as human as possible. Yeah, right.

In this third book of the series, the father Sophie has never met turns up, informs her that he has become alpha of the Paris pack and that he expects her to take over the local Texan werewolf pack. Then, he gets himself arrested by the Texan pack for murder - a crime punishable by death. Sophie must decide where her loyalties lay. Does she help out the father she's only just met, or does she keep the peace with the local pack alpha?

I really enjoyed the first two books in this series, so it's a bit of a mystery why #3 sat on my TBR shelf for 17 months. And this one was even better! I enjoy how Sophie is slowly learning about the world of wolves and other supernaturals. I LIKE Sophie, which is more than I can say for many of the other protagonists out there. Ditto for the male lead of the book. I've been searching the authors website to see when we can expect #4 out, but it appears that this might actually just be a trilogy. :-( I'm a bit sad, b/c it seems like there could easily be another book since at the end of this one Sophie is entering a new phase of her life with new potential problems. I'll just cross my fingers that #4 will eventually happen.

If you're a fan of UF and werewolves I'd definitely recommend you pick up this series.
