Rescued by the Wacky Weretiger by Eden Ember

This was an interesting story and I enjoyed getting to know both Felicity and Raj and seeing how their stories came together. Raj was really sweet and I liked how he wanted to be sure to take things at whatever pace she was comfortable.

This was an enjoyable romance between an Orc and a human with several interesting characters and excellent world building that draws the reader into the story. I enjoyed getting to know both Kari and Wulf as well as Wulf's brothers and I look forward to reading more about these characters and this world in future books.

Review is for Bear Claw Bake Off by Robin O'Connor
I really enjoyed this story and the characters Joe (Bear Shifter) & Neely (Hedgehog Shifter). The two of them made a cute couple and this was a quick and fairly light paranormal romance that I was happy to get the chance to read. I have loved everything that I have read by Robin O'Connor so far and look forward to reading more by them in the future.

5.0

I really enjoyed this book and all the characters involved. It has been a few months since I read Molly and the Minotaur so it was nice revisiting this world and getting to know Tauro better as well as getting to know Callie and seeing how the two of them were able to mend their relationship. Seeing how Leo and Molly from the previous book are doing was also nice and I look forward to exploring this world and it's characters more in the future.

Haunted by the Alien by Julie K. Cohen

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Loveable characters? Yes

5.0

This is my second book by Julie K. Cohen as well as from this series and I enjoyed this one as much as my previous book Whisked Away by the Alien. I liked the characters Kobrik and Kenzie as well as the added Halloween elements in the story and how they confused Kobrik. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series Shadowed by the Alien (also a new Halloween story) as well as backtracking for the Valentines Day book Kissed by the Alien. I also plan to read some of the other books involving Zyanthan Warriors in the future.
