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!

*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!

Broken Beasts ( Xoe Meyers book 3)
By Sara C. Roethle


Xoe had hoped that after the events of the last few months, things would finally slow down. No such luck. The werewolves are out for blood, and so are the vampires apparently. Let's not even get started on the problems her own friends are causing. Regardless of the danger, Xoe and her rag-tag entourage are in Moab, facing the werewolf coalition. Their final ruling will change Xoe's fate, and the fate of her friends forever.

Here's hoping that's a good thing.
I got the first 3 books in a set and I have to say I’ve really enjoyed them! They are the new Scooby gang a mismatch of supernatural friends! This one was a bit of a slow burner but still kept the story going! I’m looking forward to more demon action as you don’t get it as much as the usual vampire and werewolves! A good start to a decent series!
