Review at Dear Author

I’m over at Dear Author with a review of How to Help a Hungry Werewolf by Charlotte Stein. Funny and sexy story with delightful worldbuilding.

Illustrated cover which looks more like a painting than a cartoon, featuring a white couple against a field (maybe a cornfield?) backdrop. He is wearing a red and white checked shirt and has dark hair and a beard and is very tall. She is pretty, plus-sized and is wearing a green t shirt and denim overalls. She is stirring a cauldron with a large wooden spoon. A raccoon looks on.

I’m over at Dear Author with a review of Winter Lost by Patricia Briggs. While not the strongest book in the series, nonetheless, a welcome return to the Mercyverse. It kept me engrossed and there’s lots of Adam and Mercy together so yay.

Image of a Native American woman wearing a dark tank top and holding a lyre covered in frost. The lyre has a wolf or dog's head at either end at the top and the bottom bit has a woman's face in the middle to decorate. The background is a snowy night sky.

Way back in March I was over at Dear Author with a review of Wild Sign by Patricia Briggs but I forgot to post the link here. Bad Kaetrin! Better late than never I say!

Luke Anthony is a werewolf who has the scent of his mate in his nostrils. Unfortunately, Chastity Adofo, his mate, comes from a family of Huntresses and is planning on killing him to cement her place in the family. She alone of all of her sisters has not been allowed to hunt because a witch prophesied at her birth that her first kill would “rip out her heart”.

The world building is somewhat unique among the oeuvre and very feminist – the women do the hunting and the men of the family are all caretakers and deeply in touch with their emotions. In this universe werewolves are largely solitary and, until they meet their mates, are not sexual. Luke doesn’t get an erection until he smells Chastity (and thereafter, it basically won’t go away. Of course.) Continue reading
