Fury and The Dragon by Sloane Meyers

Posted August 23, 2017 by Marsha in Shifter Connected, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

For Wizard Advocate Violet Sanwick, the last several months have been anything but ordinary. She’s gone from a cushy office job to fighting on the front lines of a major war against evil. Some days, she isn’t sure if she can handle it all. Still, her new gig as a soldier has its perks—mainly, that she gets to hang out with Weston Pars, a sexy dragon shifter who’s just as witty as he is handsome. She and Weston have developed a deep friendship during their time together in the Falcon Cross Army, but Violet is determined not to let things go any further. After all, there’s a war going on. When she and Weston get into a huge fight about the best way to attack their powerful nemesis, Violet knows she made the right choice in avoiding romance. But Weston isn’t going to dismiss the chemistry between them so easily… 

Dragon shifter Weston Pars has never met a woman who could drive him as crazy as Violet does—in both good and bad ways. Violet is beautiful, smart, and fun, but Weston can’t stand the way she thinks she knows more about war than him. After all, he’s the one who’s been fighting all his life, while she spent her days behind a desk. But when Violet turns out to be right about a huge battle, and Weston almost loses her in the process, he’s forced to admit that his feelings for her run deeper than he thought. He decides he’s going to win her heart over completely, but she’s decided they can’t make things work in the middle of war’s chaos. Challenge accepted. Weston begins to relentlessly pursue Violet’s affections, but, just as Violet predicted, war makes things difficult. With life or death battles a constant theme of their days, it’s hard to find time alone with Violet. So when Weston sees a chance to run straight into enemy territory with only Violet by his side, he jumps on it. He’ll have the chance to impress Violet and destroy Saul’s strongest secret weapon, all in one shot. It’s the perfect opportunity—as long as they both make it out alive. 

Will Weston be able to keep Violet safe and win her heart over while behind enemy lines?

Binge Reading – Pros & Cons

Posted August 23, 2017 by Marsha in Shifter Haven Discussion / 0 Comments

Sometimes I will get really caught up in a series and not want to wait on starting the next book.  I don’t think I’m alone in that.  So instead of stopping taking the time to write up a review… I simply dive in to the next story until I’ve finished an entire series back to back.  Which is great for submerging myself in another world… not so great for timely reviews.

Over the course of four months or so I’d binge read four long series back to back.  Reviewed only the beginnings of them.  Now I’m faced with going back and reviewing three of those long series (I finally got one of them completed).  It’s not that I didn’t love them, I did, so much so that I didn’t want to leave that world.

But never again will I binge read in that fashion.  I’ll read them back to back if they’re long, older series that I want to get caught up on, that’s not an issue.  I will, however, take the time to review as each one is finished.  I won’t make that mistake again.  Now I’m left with stories that I absolutely loved and now feel guilty about not reviewing each at the time I read them.  So, no.  Not gonna happen that way again.

It’s true that I’m not one bit afraid to start (at the beginning) of older series.  I do my best to keep up to date with ongoing series and review new releases in a timely fashion for I know the value of reviews to authors.  Yet when it means that I have to start two or more years ago in order to understand an entire series that I haven’t read a word about yet, then yes I’ll go back to the very first book. (and that is true for any of my genre specific blogs not just Shifters)  The only exception to that are NetGalley reviews, those have a time frame that must be held to no matter what.

Any other binge readers out there?  How do you read several stories in a series?  I won’t give up falling into an author’s universe, but I will take the time to review each book right after reading in the future.  But like chocolate, I don’t think I can totally give up binge reading.  Nope, not gonna happen.
