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 ]

Review: Flesh and Blood by Kristen Painter

Flesh and Blood by Kristen Painter Book borrowed from library Christal’s Review – 3.5 Skulls – B- Flesh and Blood is the second in the House of Comarré series. It picks up about two weeks after the events of Blood Rights. I didn’t find this book to be quite as strong as the first, but I still really enjoyed it. The main reason this book didn’t work as well for me was the amount of POV changes. There seemed to be twice as many narrators in this book and the POV switches always occurred right when something big was about [ Read More of this Review ]
