Udderly Fantastic

Some Were In Time: Shift Happens Book 2
Robyn Peterman
WTF agents, wedding dresses, and were cows

Were cows are more dangerous than were dragons.  Who knew?
I just love the quirky humor and the potty mouth words that make you wonder if they really count as bad words. 
“I’d bet my left boob, it’s the bigger one, that they know what     happened.”
"It's gonna be a cluster womper of a bunghole….”
I have previously read book one in this series, Ready to Were, and thoroughly enjoyed it.  Robyn has again hit it out of the park.  This latest episode does not disappoint with action and quirkiness grabbing you from the first page.  I laughed so hard in places that I had to blink the tears out of my eyes in order to keep reading.
Of course, there are also great lessons to learn within the pages.  Such as, it is always polite to wear panties while trying on wedding dresses.  Now, that is a great piece of wisdom.
The storyline was unique.  I did not have to stop due to editing or formatting issues.  The descriptions were great.  I picked this book up and did not sit it down until I had finished the entire story.

Jace: Wolves of the Rising Sun

Jace:  Wolves of the Rising Sun
Kenzie Cox
Bayous, hot men, and Betsy the gator
Ms. Cox does a fabulous job with her descriptions of not only the people and their actions but of the bayou as well.  She brings the bayou and the river to life.  I could feel the dampness in the air, see the moss hanging from the trees and the subconscious knowledge that there were creatures out there watching me from their hiding places.
The novella starts off quickly and moves at a fast pace so the reader is never bored or left wondering where the story was going.  I liked the tattoos, especially how Skye described what she thought the paw prints represented.  This book was just over too quickly.  I want to find out more.
The only thing I had an issue with was the style.  Each chapter was written in either Jace’s or Skye’s voice and I am not a fan of this style as is causes me a moment of confusion at the beginning of every chapter and I really dislike my reading flow being stopped.
However, I would not let that stop me from reading more from Kenzie Cox, as her storyline, characters and her descriptive style are wonderful.  I found no flaws or other distractions.  Truly a master story teller.

Fundraiser

This is not a review, instead it is a call for help.  I have put together a fundraiser for Dave Heins and Family to help with the hidden cost of Dialysis.

Please take a few minutes and do a little shopping to help out .

Thanks

Spirits, Stilettos, and a Silver Bustier

Spirits, Stilettos, and a Silver Bustier
-Deanna Chase
First off, I love the title and it was what made me decide to read the book.  I have read 1 ½ of the Jade series which this book is an offshoot of and while those books were well written they just didn’t snag me and bring me in all of the way.  I only bring this up so you can rest assured that you do not need to have read the other series before reading this one.  I had no issue knowing what was going on.  There are definite hints that certain characters have a history together but that just made me want to maybe give the Jade series a second chance.
Pyper sounds similar to myself in her attitude, demeanor and clothing choices that I wonder if she may be my long lost twin. (lol)   I found Julius interesting, but then, who wouldn’t find a ghost who could also appears human uninteresting.   
Did not see the twist coming.  Even though the story was mostly wrapped up, with only 15% of the book to go, I in no way saw the twist coming.  Love it!  Most authors and stories just march on in an expected order and I usually see twist coming a ways off but not this time.  The twist added so much more depth and detail to the story that I cannot wait to read the next book in the Pyper series.
Deanna Chase is a creative writer who takes the time to form her characters and their world.  You will not find grammar, sentence, ‘verbiage’ or similar errors within her books.  The same can be said with the editing and formatting for those of you that maybe purchasing this book for your Kindle (like I did).  For me there is nothing worse than having to stop reading for either a grammar type error or a formatting error, like giant spaces between words.  If this is something that bothers you, too, then rest assured you will never have this issue with a book by Deanna Chase.  You should also check out her Jade and her Crescent City Fae series.
