Where the Wild Things Bite

Review:

Where the Wild Things Bite - Molly Harper

I had fun reading this. Molly Harper's humorous paranormal romance are some of my favorite "comfort" reads. This one had the humor I expect, steamy romance, crazy vamps, funky shifters, and quirky humans. 

 

In this we have Anna and Finn. Finn is a shady con man, Anna works with old books about paranormal. She and Finn are on a plane that doesn't make it to its destination. They end trekking through a forest while being chased by a few normal people and some not so normal people. Anna is a germaphobe, so the setting isn't ideal for her. She is nervous about Finn putting her on the menu. Finn is fascinated by Anna.

 

Recommended to anyone who has followed this series. If you are a newbie to these books it may be better to start from the beginning, but I believe that this could be okay as a standalone. There are some cameo appearances from some previous characters. Some of the "fun" may be missed if you haven't read their books.

Was it beneath me to use possum tactics to avoid politely strained conversation?

Marked in Ink: A Tattoo Coloring Book by Megan Masscre

Review:

Marked in Ink: A Tattoo Coloring Book - Megan Massacre

This has some really great designs to color. They are very unique. They, as the title suggests, are tattoo like in design. My favorite is a picture of a skeletal like bride and groom with the words "eternal love." I could see so many of the coloring pictures used as a tattoo design. 

This is of nice quality. It has just a little shy of 40 designs to color. My colored pencils, Prismacolor, work really well on the think paper. I imagine that this would work well with markers, gel pens, or whatever anyone would like to use. The pages are serrated and easily tear from the book for singular display. This also makes it nice so I can xerox a "practice copy" before making final decisions on color choices. The paper is bright white. The cover is gorgeous. The picture really pops and catches your eye. I also feel that I should applaud the use of a matte background for the cover choice. I really didn't imagine that it would ever even matter, but it makes it very easy to hold with no slipping like I get with so many other coloring books I have.

Review:

Lost Road Courses: Riverside, Ontario, Bridgehampton & More - Martin Rudow

This is great for someone who had memories involving racetracks of the past in search of a bit of nostalgia. I especially liked the way this is set up. There is so much history and information in this. It is well written and the photographs used add so much. Great job. Highly recommend.
