Rumor has it this should be coming out this year but there is not info other than Briggs is working on it so it may not.

That being said this is my most anticipated release of whenever it ends up coming out.

I really enjoyed the first volume. I've wanted to read this for ages after watching bits and pieces of the show. It is very different from the show and I think much better.

Guo Changcheng was definitely my favourite. I related to him so much.

There was mystery, mythology, pining, and longing looks, all the good stuff.

I do hope the secondary characters get some development. It was great to see more of Wang Zheng and her past. Love to see more of the others.

It felt like a weight I didn‘t know I was carrying was lifted to read a fantasy about someone with a chronic illness. Real seeming chronically ill characters, where it‘s every day, don‘t show up much in genre fiction. Then I started to wonder why the character wasn‘t stressing about paying for their medication. I thought they must be fabulously wealthy. Then I remembered, the author is Irish not American. Now I‘m just kinda sad.

Tagged is a low pick. It is billed as reverse harem with sexy superpowered faery suitors, and honestly it needed more smut 😂
so it lost out to a YA fantasy for #weeklyfavorites25 🙃 @Read4life

This is the 7th book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. The focus of this book is on Rehvenge and Ehlena. In the first 14 chapters, we start with finding out that some of the glymera would like to see Wrath dead so the power would all be in their hands. Wrath is fighting again but most don't know including Beth. Ehlena is caring for her father mostly alone. They used to be part of the glymera but have fallen far. She works at Haver's clinic..

TheSpineView ...as a nurse. Xhex learns that one of her working girls was murdered by her boyfriend. She plans on hunting him down and killing him and she has Rehvenge's approval. We find out that Rehv has a code of ethics when it comes to his employees. Lash is in charge of the lessers and discovers that money is in short supply. He has a plan to recruit people to sell drugs to make money. Elena is Rehv's nurse when he goes to Havers for more dopamine. 3d
TheSpineView Rehv gives her his business card. Ehlena has a date after work but is stood up. She thinks it is for the best since she needs to concentrate on her father's care. Wrath comes clean about fighting with both Beth and the brothers. Beth is passed. The brothers are concerned about Wrath fighting, but their numbers are small. Phury is also going start to fighting again. @PageShifter @Laughterhp @julesG @ShananigansReads @DuckOfDoom @InkedBookworm13 3d
TheSpineView @tdrosebud @CoverToCoverGirl @StayCurious @BooksNBowls @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks. Some of my thoughts are: How will Wrath's lie by ommission their relationship? Since they are so short on brothers, how long will it be before Qhuinn, John and Blay are inducted in? 3d
julesG Nice typo. 😉 I get that Beth is pissed, because she's even more concerned than the brothers. She could lose a part of her. If I were in her shoes, I'd want to see him train with as many fighters as are willing to take him on. Just to know he's fit. But she might wonder what else he's not sharing and that means they need to talk it out. 3d
julesG The Brotherhood needs more manpower. Maybe even womanpower. I'm sure Q, J, B will soon join. 3d

This magical murder mystery had some cozy vibes and great rep (MC with fibromyalgia, lesbian/gay MCS, nonbinary side char), & I'd rec it for folks into paranormal fantasy who don't mind flashes of brutal violence, fairly immature MCs (I think I'd categorize it as YA?), and overt mustache twirling. There were a lot of side themes! I'm curious if the next book settles down a little and decides if it's doing a cozy or a hard-boiled detective mystery.

PuddleJumper I got this for Christmas 2023 and still haven't read it 🤣 4d
Larkken @PuddleJumper haha I get that! The sequel came out in Sept in case that makes a difference... 4d
PuddleJumper @Larkken Better not buy it until I read the first one! 2d

07/100 I'm happy to say Book Three of the Prof. Croft series was just as enjoyable as the previous two. With each book, he reminds me less of John Constantine and more of his own character. The Mayor of NYC has decided to purge the city (thus the title) of all supernatural creatures, and Croft is enlisted to help. It's all a trap, of course, and he soon finds himself in the middle of a four way battle between werewolves, vampires, the fae, ⬇️

RamsFan1963 and humans. Usually I don't appreciate big bombshell revelations at the end of books, but this one fit in with the mystery thats been running through the first three books (who murdered Croft's mother?), so I'll allow it. Now I need to get the next book added to my Kindle. 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫 #Jumpstart2025 #Read2025 #SeriesLove2025 5d

The first book in the Kate Daniels series (#SeriesLove2025). What a world Andrews has built. I love the magic, the take on weres and vampires. And Kate is a badass! I want to be her sidekick 😅. I look forward to reading more of these books in the near future, to find out more about Kate‘s past and how things evolve with Curran.

TheSpineView Love this series! ♥️📖 6d
