When a story contains the phrase āFor Bone Daddyā and its uttered by a army of skelebabies in the middle of a rollicking bone rattling battle, well, you just know the book is going to be epic.
For all its short length, Sherwood packs a ton of high quality action, snarky humor, dubious necromancer goings on, and an ever- widening search for the bones of a sentient skeleton dragon called Steve.
Iām so committed to this series and found family of absolutely glorious people, young sorcerers in training in tow included. Itās hilarious, sexy, stunning and entertaining on every level.
I canāt wait for the pirates.
Dive into the series right at the beginning and then follow along. Itās all fabulous.
Love these covers.

Fanged Mistakes is everything I love about an Alice Winters universe and series. Fanged Mistakes incorporates humor (high and low), relatable complicated family relationships, interspecies courtship, drama, murder, psychological trauma, and layers upon layers of emotional, often tragic back histories.
These are all further entwined with some of the most memorable, surprisingly written characters, ones which, during both the course of each book and over the series, make decisions that challenge the readerās perceptions of what we thought we knew about them. Instead, we get another layer of depth and generosity of spirit we didnāt see coming.
Itās not just the main characters this happens to either. More than once, I saw a scene or moment reveal a characterās real identity, one not previously seen. Itās done swiftly and succinctly and with impact. I can name every scene it happens in. The writing is that successful and great.
Dire Straits and Entwined Fates charts the next stage in Julian and Casamirās relationship. Julianās family is adjusting, albeit maybe not his father, to their mating, and things are doing well.
Naturally, here comes the past to throw up the biggest challenges they have faced yet. This was briefly hinted at in Faked Dates and Fanged Mistakes but Casamirās past is back in one roaring, fast paced, action packed, emotional thriller of a ride.
Winters manages to keep all the heavy elements like Julianās PTSD from his past attacks, the continuing emotional fallout, the devastating impact the return of his past is having on Casamir, the changing dynamics of their relationship, all of this raw material, is kept real and believable.
But interwoven into this is moments of hilarity, scenes of wonderful silliness and outrageous fun with their found family. Itās an eclectic group of friends and family formed of human detective, vampire sidekick, poodle, and a surprising newcomer. This allows a break from the tension and drama. And gives us some truly heartwarming scenes.
The ending and villain of this story are as compelling and complex as the themes and narrative calls for. Itās thoughtful storytelling that makes this a fantastic novel and these memorable characters.
I really need more. Thereās that pesky question that keeps rearing its head of what exactly is Julian? No one seems to have the answer. More books please.
Iām highly recommending this and the series but read them in the order they are written for the events and relationships.
When did fake-then-real dating an ancient vampire become the easy part?
Casimirās ridiculously sweet now that heās conquered āthe art of the flirt,ā as he calls it. He tries hard to fit in with my familyāif we forget about those silly threatening chocolates he sent my fatherāand he even makes me popcornā¦ okay, he tried. I know, I know, Iām just bragging at this point.
Everything is perfect until we stumble upon a half-dead vampire who is being hunted by someone. And Iām afraid the person hunting him knows all about Casimirās history. Casimir has fought so hard to drive the darkness away, but we both know that he needs to bury his pastā¦ one last time.
Casimir
I never saw myself in a relationship, let alone with a pesky werewolf. Heās funny and sweet, has questionable friends, and phenomenal taste in dog bandanas. After five hundred years, I think Iāve finally convinced myself that I deserve this.
However, someone else isnāt quite certain I do. Julian has assured me that itās time to move forward, but when thereās a masked man waiting in the shadows for me, I find it hard to ignore my past mistakes.
But I have something I didnāt have the last time I faced him.
Someone who loves me.
Dire Straits and Entwined Fates has a cheerful werewolf who seems to have an aversion to clothes; a vampire leader who overuses speedy delivery services; board games with a little too much exhibitionism; and animals that are too cute to be eaten.
A Vampire Called Leander wraps up Michelle Frostās trilogy about a Paranormal Councilās arranged matings between paranormal beings and humans in order to unify their world.
Itās been a while since I read this series but it was easy to fall back into the universe and characters. At only 90 pages, Frost gets immediately into the storyline, the first meeting and mating of the two characters.
The short length doesnāt allow for much background or depth of culture, but the characters are engaging and the nature of their mating process intriguing.
Itās a fated mates without the buildup of anticipating or the recognition by one that normally occurs. Thereās an ongoing conflict by a Human only faction thatās a series element and a fabulous side character, Ammon, whoās a bodyguard of both Leander and his human mate, Merrick.
The ending sets the stage for a sequel series to come. I can only hope that one of those characters that gets a story will be Ammon.
Vampire Called Leander (Mated to a Human Book 3) by Michelle Frost is highly entertaining and I recommend it and the series. Read them in the order they are written to understand the events and characters.
Can an uptight vampire and a free-spirited human find some common ground?
Merrickās family name is one of the oldest and most influential in Solston, but maintaining an empire has never interested him. He prefers his books, the company of his cat, and to his surprise, his new prickly vampire mate.
Leander refuses to take part in the Councilās arranged matings until the most alluring scent catches his nose. Once their mating is finalized though, he finds he has no idea how to meld their two lives together.
A Vampire Called Leander is the third and final book in this fast-paced novella series where the paranormals are all deliciously protective of their humansā¦no matter what type of trouble they get into. Series is best read in order.
One of these days by Ofelia GrƤnd is going to surprise me and deliver a full length novel and I wonāt know what to do. Iāll be overwhelmed and overjoyed, of course, but still. Someone will have to pick me off the floor first.
Until then, Iāll settle for these short tales of whimsical romance or whatever she decides to call them. Her mind is a decidedly different and wonderful place.
Here it has created a bar on an unknown world, The Ruby Tooth, a place where all the species can have a drink and mix, but under the most rigid rules that only the doorkeepers understand.
How I love how weirdly quirky Grandās imagination is. The Ruby Tooth is divided into two bars, a good side and those that belong on the bad side. The veritas, the doorkeepers, with their intense glaze that see into the soul, say left or right, good or bad. And thatās where the beings go for their side of the bar, unable to switch for the night. The veritas give no clues or rationale for their actions, just the words. Left or Right.
Which is all the more intriguing when two widely different beings, one human (Iām assuming) and one a werewolf bounty hunter, each end up on the wrong side of the bar. Thats approximately where the authorās short story begins.
But itās full of boundless possibilities, wild elements , fanciful ideas, and great characters. Honestly, why is Ilya Lewis the only one in an Elf costume and why does that bring immediate dislike? I need to know!
And donāt get me started on his friend who ends up with two bear shifters. Nope.
But even better is the new fated mateās romance thatās a ātake it slowā road romance. What a great change of pace.
Thereās even more going on. Fast paced action, heart stopping fights, and a happy ending. All well done in 45 pages.
Sigh. I need a full length book so badly!
Read this quirky, imaginative paranormal romance and enjoy!
I highly recommend this author in all her flights of narrative fancy.
Ilya Lewis is gonna kill his best friend Vera. She not only persuaded him off his couch and into the creepiest nightclub in the city, she also didnāt show. When Ilya learns the bar is split into two halves, and heās been let into the wrong side, it doesnāt make things any better. Once the doorman determines which half to let you into, he won’t let you into the other.
Ulric Moon hates the Ruby Tooth. But as a bounty hunter, he must go where the trails lead him, and tonight itās landed him in the worst nightclub in the universe. All he wants is to catch the vampire heās hunting, but despite trying to convince the veritas doorman examining his soul that he needs to be let into the good side of the club, heās shown to the bad. As if that wasnāt enough, his destined mate somehow manages to sneak into the bad side where he doesnāt belong.Ilya finds a way to the other side of the bar, but one look at the patrons there has him regretting ever leaving his apartment. When he tries to leave, a scary-looking man who does nothing but growl follows him.
Ulric knows heās freaking Ilya out, but Ilya has inadvertently caught the interest of the vampire Ulric is hunting, and he has to protect him. How will Ulric keep Ilya safe when he doesn’t believe Ulric is a bounty hunter? And how do you tell someone theyāre your mate when they donāt believe youāre a werewolf?
āWelcome to the Vampire Guard, where legend and myth meet science and technology.ā
Code Name Jack Rabbit is a book the starts a new chapter in the lives of the couples and characters from Anne Barwell and Elizabeth Nobleās excellent paranormal series, The Sleepless City.
There, along the banks of Lake Erie in the town of Boggslake, Ohio, there was a haunted mansion called Boggās Castle. Home to a werewolf, several ancient vampires, a human, a dog, and the ghostly original owner, they solved murders, had many found family dramatic perilous moments, and found their mates.
Code Name Jack Rabbit picks up from the end of tumultuous events in Shifting Chaos. While recovered, each is dealing with the aftermath.
I enjoyed this and was somewhat sorry to see that the intriguing town and full found family is going to be left behind for the trilogy.
Two couples, Jonas Forge and Blair Turner (both vampires) and Henri de Fluer aka Declan and Lucas Coate (vampire and werewolf) are recruited by an ancient agency. And moved, along with Moose the dog, to another location.
Left behind in Boggās Castle is Simon and Ben (vampire and human). And the ghost of course. And while Nobleās storyline and the characters discussions themselves have this separation make perfect sense, they are after all extremely long lived, if not eternal species, itās not as easy for the reader who loves them as family.
So itās a major adjustment to have a new crew of people and players. They also are a foundation of their own, like those of Boggās Castle.
The mystery plays well against the type of paranormal creatures and murders they have already faced prior. And Iām sensing a link that may be forming between the series villains.
Anyway, itās shaping up to be another exciting new series and a fast paced new group of characters.
Iām definitely recommending it. And read The Sleepless City too. It a much needed foundation for this.
Itās a rec for me. It a good lead in to a terrific sequel series. Read them in the order they are written.

Vampires and werewolves live long lives. The Sleepless City saga might have ended but the story continuesā¦
Welcome to the Vampire Guard, where legend and myth meet science and technology.
Vampires make the best spies. Throw a smart-mouthed werewolf in with three vampires, mix well, and The Vampire Guard’s newest team is bound to become one of their greatest assets. Super spies with a full range of skills. Warrior, hacker, thief, and scientist. They get in, do the job, and get out before the bad guys ever know what hit them.
Forge, Blair, Declan, and Lucas are thrust into the world of high-tech spies and top-secret espionage conspiracies. Recruited into the worldās most elite and secret organization with one singular mission. Protect those who canāt defend themselves from ruin.
Together they must thwart an assassination attempt on the open waters of Lake Superior while tracking a previously unknown biological weapon controlled by the Qiguanāa weapon which may very well mean death for one of them.
Justice is the second in Taylorās Damned Connections paranormal romance series, a sequel to the original Reckless Damned that featured the sons of Lucifer and their mates. This one focuses on the outlier characters from that series and their own journey to find their mates.
Vampire assassin Sebastian has lurked about the edges of many a story, snarling and sneering, while providing evidence for his deadly powers with his legendary blade Bessy. Now we get his romance as his tragic history.
Taylor has paired him , that most āmonstrous of menā , up with with a man most would consider a true innocent. Thatās Matty, whoās brother and mate got their story in the first book, Patience. Matty is that sunny, effervescent personality, a knitting sunny bundle of emotions thatās recently undergone a severely traumatic experience. One that he still has nightmares about.
Please read the trigger warnings for this story. They happened in a prior story and anything here is off page details but those sensitive to this subject matter should be aware.
Taylorās story gives us two men working through the darkness and damage that lifeās worst has dealt them. Each character has let the traumatic violence , emotional damage and the deep fear of loss/death theyāve experienced impact their lives, but in different ways.
Sebastian has cut himself off from all relationships, removing himself ,and potentially anyone he might come to care for, from repeat of the history that continues to haunt him. Mattyās life has become more circumspect, heās got protection 24/7 whether he wants it or not. Plus heās unaware of the paranormal world and beings that exist in and around him. Theyāve all kept him ignorant for his safety.
In Justiceās fast paced storyline, Clark brings everything together on a collision course. The previous plots from the Damned Connection series weaves together with the story here to bring Sebastian and Matty together.
Itās heartbreaking, tortuous, a definite hurt/comfort, but so satisfying when it all finally comes back together as the characters work through their own struggles and emotional damage to a realistic mating the reader feels fit them both as it should.
Sebastian was never going to be an easy fix but I didnāt realize how hard Clark was going to make the journey for Matty too. That balance was needed for this to be true for them both.
Now for the next novel, Temperance. I canāt wait.
Blood. Torture. Murder. Theyāve been my only companions for centuries. I havenāt needed or wanted anything else.
Until I see Matty smile. Then something in me, something thatās been dormant for centuries, begins to reawaken.
Matty doesnāt belong in my world. Heās loving, innocent, and full of joy. The darkness of my life would corrupt him in a heartbeat, but when heās dragged into it against his will, nothing can stop me delivering my personal brand of justice.
Matty keeps fighting for things I canāt give him, for things Iām no longer capable of. I canāt come between him and his family. I canāt give him what he needs.
But I also canāt stay away from him.
Matty
Iām surrounded by couples in love.
Once, I thought thatād be me. That Iād be swept off my feet and experience the kind of epic love you only see in movies.
Now, I know better.
A horrific night taught me to look for other things in a partner. Someone whoās predictable. Safe. Stable.
Sebastian is anything but.
Everyone tells me to stay away from him, but I donāt understand their concerns. How can he be a villain when all heās shown me is kindness?
He makes me want things I thought Iād given up on. Things Iām too scared to admit I still want.
The trouble is, I canāt figure out what Sebastian wants. He tells me he canāt say no to me, but he wonāt open up. He says to stay away from him, but he keeps coming around.
One thing is for sure, Sebastian is who I want in my future.
But how can I keep fighting for us if Iām the only one doing it?
Justice is a MM PNR romance about a grumpy vampire assassin and the sunshine human he canāt stay away from. The second in the Damned Connections series, each book will follow a different couple as they find their HEA. Although better read in order, these books can stand alone.
The Mobster’s Mate by Kiki Clark is a terrific paranormal romance. I enjoyed it immensely. Anyone whoās a fan of shifters/mate romances will enjoy the story but thereās a slight caveat.
This book takes place within Clarkās Kincaid Pack universe. Itās helpful to have an understanding of the events and characters from that series as it impacts heavily upon the storyline and couple here. Important Kincaid Pack members are also a part of this story, although Clark does a good job of explaining who they are and how they figure into the plot.
Getting all that out of the way, this book is launched is a great way. With a dramatic scenario and introduction to all the major characters.
Mob boss Quinten Amato is having to adapt to the new world order since the Kincaid Pack took down the corrupt paranormal government that kept things orderly and predictable. A structure that suited him and all his businesses just fine.
Clark gives us a ruthless man at the top, in an uncertain world where heās got to negotiate a new path without any loss of prestige or credibility. Then a dramatic scenario opens up, where we meet Caden, a deeply damaged shifter, one guaranteed to make an impact on Quintenās future.
Caden is such a vulnerable, wounded character. Itās impossible not to connect with him, either for the reader or for Quintenās employees who surround him. Clarkās supporting cast is as intriguing and layered in their personalities as the main couple. They grab our interest too with their interactions with Caden and Quinton, making us want to know more about each of them.
The plot lines equally interesting, up to the great characters. If itās all over a bit too quickly, then head over to the other series to read more about this universe and the events mentioned here.
Hopefully, this couple will pop up again in another book and series. The characters have a way of doing that.
This is a wonderful read and itās got my recommendation.

The first in a new fantasy series, The Insanity of Reincarnated Mages and Amorous Vampires is a highly entertaining and fast paced fantasy adventure. Itās got reincarnated lovers, a sentient library, a found family of vampire warriors, and so much more.
All in all, a world of fun and magical action adventure, interwoven with love remembered and born again.
Sherwoodās characters are engaging, easily crossing time periods and a magical landscape to emerge in the modern world, embracing the cultural and technological aspects of the era, including even manga comics.
One of my favorite elements is the sentient library herself, Kassandra. A vibrant personality and key figure, even without a voice, I adored her. Master Declan, Ivy and the rest of the found family that defends and inhabits the library are amazing. Then thereās Kit, the one who was left behind, and Gun, the one who died and was reincarnated.
What a story and couple.
I was snared by the tragedy, pulled into the world by the adventures and hope of the future for the couple, and then just had a fabulous time with them along the way with the battles, the magic, and the ever enlarging foundation.
I canāt wait for the next in the series to come.
Iām highly recommending this to fans of this trope and author!
Reborn love. Unleashed magic. We wonāt fail twice.
Hi, Iām Kit. Immortal vampire and technomage extraordinaire. You know how it goes.
For the record, I am absolutely not stalking my reincarnated husband.
Okay, I am, but it’s for his own good. And mine. Er, assuming I can somehow figure out how to tell him heās reincarnated and a mage, and we all live in a sentient library.
Any thoughts on that? Iām currently taking suggestions.
One thingās for sure. Heās not dying on me again. Never again.

The fluffiest fluff to ever fluff, that yāknow includes violence, magic, reincarnated lovers, vampires, sassy library, Kassandra the library has OPINIONS, found family, all the magical shenanigans, Kit and Gun are part time soulmates full time problem, authors have lost all discretion in this, Kit is a walking green flag, the crack ship armada is sailing at full speed here, master should never have access to a credit card, or a bookstore, no book is off-limits with that man, triggers involve too much sap and cuteness, occasionally blowing shit up, violence is not the question but it is the answer, Sentient Library Tells All, Iām absolutely a library book check me out.
Iām an Alice Winters fan and this latest book is a prime example why. Fake Dates and Fanged Mistakes is the first in Winters new Fanged Mistakes series and contains all the best of a Winters novel experience.
Her characters are intelligent with at least one having a history thatās incredibly tragic or traumatic. The dialogue is witty, fast paced, sarcastic , and filled with humor. Same often applies to the scenes of tension, where the interaction between the characters is interspersed with moments of humor and quiet understanding is used as a basis for the solidification of the relationship, as it so often does here with werewolf Julian and vampire Casimir.
It helps that Winters has created a strong group of characters, including a poodle Gustov, that supports the couple in a number of ways, comedic, action wise, and emotionally compelling.
I spent so much of this book cackling over the dialogue, finding total enjoyment in the dynamic between Julian and Casimir that Winters is developing that the story just flew by.
Thereās a faint mystery thatās surrounds Julianās character but thatās left for future stories to unravel. Plus we have a fabulous grumbling romance in progress between a human detective and Casimirās second in command sorta , these two alone had me howling! All kinds of shenanigans galore and a nasty villain to boot!
Really, this is golden Alice Winters. A fabulously scripted and gloriously entertaining narrative that had me laughing out loud and ready to read it once again when I was done.
Iām highly recommending this and ready for the next in the series.
Fanged Mistakes:
ā Faked Dates and Fanged Mistakes #1
ā¦ Dire Straits and Entwined Fates # 2 – March 12, 2024
This week hasnāt gone the best for me unless you count Casimir, the sexy ancient vampire, bringing me back from the brink of death (and tying my fate to his in the process). Not that it matters if the werewolves and vampires donāt stop their ridiculous feud, because someone is targeting them and widening the divide between our communities with each body they leave in their wake.
But as the alphaās son, I have a plan to fix everything. Iām going to convince Casimir to fake date me to show the others that we can work together.
I meanā¦ what could go wrong?
Casimir Everything.
Literally everything could go wrong. Who is actually going to believe that I want this joke-cracking, cute werewolf tagging alongside me?
Honestly, do I even care if people get along? I really think I have much more important things to do than going on hardware store dates, learning the torturous art of holding hands, and attending awkward family dinners, likeā¦ staring at my dogā¦ andā¦ Iām sure thereās something else.
Okay, fine, maybe this whole fake dating scheme isnāt the worst idea that Iāve come across in the past five hundred years, but itās definitely in the running. The two of us are just going to have a bit of fun while I stop whoeverās hunting down the vampires and werewolvesā¦ right?
Fake Dates and Fanged Mistakes has a sunshiny yet stubborn werewolf who just wants everyone to get along, dang it; a bored vampire who isn’t nearly as aloof as he wants to appear; paper napkins trying (and failing) to stand in for clothes; some awesome swordsmanship; and the last thing youād expect to find in a secret cupboard.
