Keep Reading, It Only Gets Better.. or Not

The Naked Werewolf Series by Molly Harper Author Molly Harper is a new discovery for me. And I am late to the game in trying out her paranormal romance series, but the old cliche is so true — better late than never. Molly Harper writes darned funny books and I just love her take on the werewolf world. She writes about normal people, living average lives and she mixes in the supernatural with some fun romance. Biting comments, sarcasm and some embarrassing moments lead to great fun in the Naked Werewolf books. These are perfect novels, but they are fun. [ Read More of this Review ]
