pickI enjoyed this installment much better than the last one. I like when Coyote gets involved and wreaks havoc but somehow it was the right havoc. I enjoyed Baba Yaga having an appearance and overall it did feel like a more complete story or episode.
panThis one however? Had me heated and was never. ending. First, I love a pathetic man, but there was something so Reddit Incel about Ben that it gave me the BIGGEST ick. Second, the power dynamic? Abhorrent. Don't keep reminding me that he could literally order her to off herself and then tell me they're in love. Third, Elleanore kept having to sideline her literal PTSD episodes to help Ben with his anxiety he refused to treat. >:|

pickLast 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.
It‘s windy. life‘s chaotic, but i‘m relaxing into #hyggehour with an ebook, my blanket and Saoirse. I hope you are all getting some time to rest and relax before facing the next week.

Timeless is the title of the final book in the Parasol Protectorate series & I feel like Alexia & Conall have a #TimelessLove
pickI felt a little overwhelmed and thought some parts were convoluted, but it is a shapeshifter/fae/vampire and gazillion other creatures world so who am I to judge? I always enjoy my visits into this world in general so while this is not a favorite book in the series I‘m still happy I read it.
pickAdam and Mercy get married and leave for their honeymoon AND manage to have a few carefree days before otterkin and an ancient river monster ruin their fun. Mercy learns some unexpected things about her father and Native American heritage.
I really enjoyed this one. No one getting kidnapped was a nice change of pace…
pickReading 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.
My dad came into town to visit and we took him to see the sights. We also had to stop at my local used bookstore and pick up some books.
