What's on the Reading Radar? #WishList #TBR #reading

What is going on?

Series: The Vargr, 1
Author(s): Meraki P. Lyhne
Length: 275 pages

Genre: Young Adult / Romantic Elements / Paranormal / Fantasy / Gay

Notes: I found this advertised on a FB group that I'm in. A couple of things to note that was revealed in the blog tour but not here is the MC is 16. There is no sex until later in the series when the MC comes of age. So expect this to be story heavy.

Blurb: The belief in the old Norse gods may have been suppressed by Christianity, but that doesn’t mean the races of old didn’t survive. Like the Vargr wolves.

All Matt knows of his dad is that he was Danish and that he’d died in a motorcycle accident ten years earlier.

When Matt’s sixteen and a half, his mother declares it important that he at least knows the other half of his heritage, so she sends him from the States to Denmark as an exchange student for a year.

Matt’s not overly excited. Matt’s a loner who doesn’t connect with people. Going to a foreign country was never a part of his plans, but he’d do it for her. He’d go to where she’d loved the only man in her life. The love that gave her Matt.

Everything he’s heard from his mom and read about Denmark and the area he’s going to live in did not prepare him for what he finds, though—a heritage that has an old Norse god on the family tree.

Series: A Magical Comedy (with a body count)
Author(s): RJ Blain
Length: 321 pages

Genre: Romance / Urban Fantasy

Notes: I started reading this and it got put on pause... and I forgot I started reading it! LOL Then I saw that the audio came out and bought it, only to be reminded I did not finish the ebook. So that was actually fun. The next ebook in the series is out and I think I'll save it for a rainy day.

Blurb: Becoming a bounty hunter and taking on the call sign of Murder Mittens wasn’t Harri’s brightest move, but what’s a lynx to do with millions of debt while working a customer service gig? The scars deforming her face won’t remove themselves, and she’ll bag and tag every criminal in the United States to get rid of them if necessary.

Being assigned a handler could make or break her, but did the powers that be really have to toss Sebastian Sumners her way? The lion with a stubborn streak as wide as hers tests her patience on a good day, but nothing makes her purr more than goading him into roaring.

Add in a protective family, a serial killer on the loose, and more trouble than any one cat needs, and it’s going to take a miracle for Harri to get through the most important job of her life.

Warning: contains magic, humor, cranky shapeshifters, cats, murder, and mayhem. Proceed with caution.

Walker just never expected his one true mate to turn up on his doorstep. Manny’s unbelievably sweet and great with kids. The omega’s also far too good to be wasted on a broken alpha like Walker.

From day one, Manny Santos fell in love with the Olsen family. He prefers working with human clients but he’s made an exception for Walker and his adorable nieces. Walker’s a sexy, walking disaster.

An adorable but distrustful omega and a hard-headed and stubborn alpha find out they’re fated mates in Manny for Walker. It is the first book in the Claws Inc. series. There are no cliff-hangers or cheating, and a HEA is guaranteed.

Series: 
Author(s): Molly Ringle
Length: 195 pages

Genre: Romance / Fantasy / Gay

Notes: This is a new to me author. When I was checking out her backlist to see if she has released anything that I've heard about. No, but the Goblins of Bellwater caught my attention. It is young adult and listed as suitable for kids aged 12yrs+. I don't usually read YA any more but I like the sound of the story. Maybe.

Blurb: When the queen of Lushrain is murdered, her unprepared youngest brother gets thrown into the spotlight as the new king. He's soon assigned a charming young magician who's meant to protect him from the assassin, and they grow romantically close—which comes with a host of dangerous complications and secrets.

Zaya expected to be the irresponsible youngest prince his whole life. But when his two older siblings are killed by an unidentified magician, he finds himself crowned king of Lushrain—the end of his liberty as he knows it. As part of his training, he's sent to Heartwood for a month, the house of the sages high in the mountains. There, to his shock, the sages tell him he must learn about magic—which is illegal to practice, but has nonetheless been among Heartwood's secret studies for centuries.

They assign Col as his tutor, a charming young sage with unusually strong powers. Zaya abhors and distrusts magic, and Col absolutely doesn't want the job of attempting to change the king's mind. But in their lessons and debates, they grow closer and begin envisioning a future in which a sage and a king might make a harmonious couple.

But the assassin still roams, seeking to hurt Zaya, and the budding love affair may be crushed by the secrets that Heartwood—and Col—have kept about this killer.

A jewel thief with magical powers…

Eighteen-year-old Will is a jewel thief with only one goal in life — to be rich. That's why when he spots Aidan, the second prince of Ambrosia saving a peasant girl from royal guards, he steals the prince's ruby bracelet. A few days later, Aidan stumbles into Will during a robbery, and the two strike a bargain.

Meets a prince with a secret…

Aidan is a prince torn between duty and desire. In a world where same-sex relationships are forbidden in the royal family, he is attracted to men.

A forbidden love that transcends time…

The unlikely partnership blossoms into something more but political tensions threaten to separate the lovers. Will’s loyalty lies with the rebels who want to overthrow the king, and Aidan is honor-bound to protect his family. Will they end up together or be torn apart by the hands of fate?
