Welcome to Litsy!

Last of my catch-up reviews for this week.

Book 2 in the Mercy Thompson series. It started off a bit slow with some repetitive info from book 1 (I understand this is necessary, but in this case it slowed down the beginning). However once our Mercy got roped into the vampire‘s problem it picked up. We find out more about the vampire seethe and how it works. We also got a bit more about Mercy‘s walker powers & some werewolf politics of course.

Reading this series in full is one of my 2025 goals. I read this book 15+ years ago & loved it. It was borrowed from a friend at the time so I have not revisited the series since. I‘ve been itching to revisit it & have managed to collect most of the books from secondhand stores.

Since it‘s been so long, I remembered none of the plot so it was almost like reading it for the first time. So good! I love Mercy & am excited to see what she does next.

I forgot how much of a comfort read this is for me. It makes me more excited than I already was to reread the series. I think my favorite part of this first book is how Mercy stumbles into this role we see for her throughout the series just because she‘s trying to be a good person and not judging people based on the type of creature they are. And the discovery of just how powerful Walkers can be is only just starting. #reread

Chicago during the roaring 20s with cat shapeshifters, mobs, and speakeasies. Absolutely fantastic!

The ending was a bit quick and hand waving but I didn't really mind that. The romance was sweet and had a natural build up.

This is part of the Hexworld universe which I've not read, or I've read one, but you don't need to have read them to understand the book.

I recently discovered graphic audiobooks in the last year. Now I‘m working through my old favourites (like this one) as well as new finds
What do you think of Graphic Audio “a movie in your mind”??

October had some good but not great books & so my #12BooksOf2024 ended up being this 7th book in a paranormal romance series I enjoy.🤷🏻‍♀️ Now November was a great reading month & it will be a struggle to pick a favorite.

Honorable Mentions include: Vampires of El Norte (audiobook), So Hungry

This one was a fun, magical rom-com read. It even has a FMC who is a fire breathing unicorn. 🦄 fun 3.5 🌟 read.

I really liked this author‘s Undead & Unwed series so I was excited to read this but there‘s too much going on. Were-bear detective/social workers trying to stop trafficking of were-kids. The FMC‘s dialogue & internal narration was chaotic, & very bubbly for the surrounding plot. The love interests have made no moves towards eachother yet, & I don‘t care if they do which doesn‘t bode well for the rest of the book. #bye
