Hunting Season by Shelly Laurenston

A story of Ravens and Crows; Neecy and Yeager; as the story unfolds we learn that Crows are a group of women who are offered a new life as champions of the goddess Skuld; Ravens are Nordic heirs and champions of the God Odin. Both fight for their Gods, both are strong and intelligent, both are trying to keep the world safe from the magic's of the other side. 

The good:
Great beginning familiar themes and plot from the author.

The bad:
Not as good as any of her other works, a little confusing, slow and the ending was beyond rushed. After a two hundred pages of build-up the bad guy was dispatched in two lines, ugh. 

I'm just sayin: Compared to her other series, I was very disappointed with this book; I didn't care about any of the characters or their stories, the background seemed to be rushed, though I was introduced to more and more crows until I got them confused with one another. There were werewolves for no other reason, mentioned more than once and given inner dialogue, though I wasn't sure what their point was. The only thing that I'm certain of is that Neecy (heroine) was annoyingly stubborn and defensive in the face of an open, honest, good man, Yeager. I hate how books drag this sort of thing out; we have all been hurt, but most sensible women (even us tough ones) know a good thing when we see it and will open up a bit, but Neecy was denial for two-hundred and thirty five pages and okay for fifty.

Overall: pass on this book an read one of this authors other gems instead

Book Boyfriend of August: Conall Viga-Feilan

Conall Viga-Feilan

So, I fall in love with book characters all the time and I thought I should give them some love on my blog. This month my book boyfriend is Conall Viga-Feilan of "The Magnus Pack"series, but featured as the main character in the book "Go Fetch" by Shelly Laurenston. Viking, shape shifting wolf, and abnormally large blonde Conall is more than just character candy, he's intelligent, loyal, and grateful for his good fortune. Even, when he's "blessed" by falling in love with a mean woman who does her very best to avoid how vulnerable falling in love will make her. Miki Kendrik, the vertically challenged hacker genius (178 IQ), bartender, and outspoken friend even goes beyond the duck and dodge of the inevitable, she actually drugs the poor man to unconsciousness, and that's after she tries to get him arrested, twice! But, Conall takes it all in stride, loving her intelligence and fierce protectiveness with the same vigor that he has for her big beautifully round ass and gorgeous lips.

would look like.

Best Line: "Well, so you don't get too cocky, I myself often complete the TV Guide crossword puzzle"...."In pen"

B.B. Runner up: David Beckham. Yes, he's a book character! If you consider all the non-fiction that has been written about him as a character; then, yes he's a character. Just shut up about him being real and married, what's up vicki, smile some time this year please cause I'm married to and would probably drool and stutter if I actually met him in real life. I would also have to stop a fistfight between him and C-Macdaddy, cause not only is he my side piece, but hubby is a diehard Chelsea fan and Beck's is the enemy. However, D.B. is delicious and my honarary (IT IS TO AN HONOR!) boyfriend of the month.


Thanks- M.
