Tommi Grayson: all bark, all bite . . . and now she's BACK!

After the worst family reunion in history, Tommi needed some space. She's spent the last few weeks trying to understand her heritage - the one that comes with a side order of fur - as well as learning about her Maori ancestry and how she can connect to it. But she can only escape for so long. ...


Maria Lewis is so refreshing! I live Tommi Grayson she kicks ass and just keeps going! Maria is never afraid to kill characters off for impact and I truly admire that! This book see Tommi dealing with the loss of friends , the news of her best friends cancer being back, her troubled relationship with Lorcan and moving on to learn how to be a werewolf. So much and such little time before another mystery hits! Love the new characters introduced.
Can not wait to read the next installment.

My favourite part of the list was this, because it was what I get like doing once I'd found out all these films were that old!

Clean Sweep (Innkeeper Chronicles, #1)

*Reading as part of the Innkeeper Chronicles Anthology, #1-3*

This is a pretty short start to the series, introducing us to Dina. She's a fairly new Innkeeper - a person with magic, who offers sanctuary to those from other planets as they pass through Earth - though her parents used to run one when she was little.
Something is killing dogs in her neighbourhood and she approaches the local werewolf, Sean Evans, to ask him if he will deal with it and he acts clueless so she decides to take matters into her own hands. Lets just say Dina gets more than she bargained for.

I enjoyed this. It was an interesting start with good introductions to the Innkeeper life and most of the characters included in this.

I was willing Dina and Sean on as they tried to take down the person behind the dogs deaths, and also for that spark of romance between them.

On to book 2

Wow.

Just, wow!

A Werewolf In Riverdale did not disappoint.

The book is split into three parts:

In Sheep's Clothing.

The Beast Must Die!

New Moon.

For me, this book was outside my normal fare of sweet YA and fairy Tale retellings but genre-hopping is okay now and then. Truthfully the only reason I wanted to read this one so badly is the fact that I'm a rabid Riverdale fan and with the book's darker, broody atmosphere I said “Why Not?”

Like I said before, I wasn't disappointed! Despite its monstrous villain, this book wasn't all blood and gore.

Though, it did have its moments I won't lie.

It was more like, “I know I should do this but it could be someone I know and I don't want to do it”. That was Betty and Archie's constant struggle while Jughead had to fight his instincts.

In all I totally would recommend it!
