What's on the Reading Radar? #TBR #reading #read #wishlist

It been an alright week. Nothing much going on other than normal things. Working. Chasing the squirrels that are stealing the food meant for the birds. You know, adult stuff. LOL

Series: Daemons of San DeLain, 3
Author: MA Church
Length: 292 pages

Genre/Tropes: Romance / Paranormal /

Notes: I'm so excited for the last book in the San DeLain trilogy!

Blurb: Kage: I may be powerful. I may be the darkness. But it turns out I’m not the only monster who lurks in the shadows. The silence has been broken, and a secret from long ago has been unearthed with devastating consequences. The past has come back to haunt me, and everything I thought I knew has been turned on its head.

Danger strikes at everything I hold dear, and death stalks my mate and me.

Austin: Not all monsters have wings, horns, and a tail. And sometimes monsters really are monsters. I know exactly how far someone will go to hide toxic secrets, but even I am shocked by the latest revelations. Pandora’s box has been opened, and now we’re dealing with the aftermath. My monster grieves, and I ache for him.

But blood isn’t thicker than water, and found family is everything.

Chaos reigns as the attacks from the mimic escalate, and the daemon clan of San DeLain goes on high alert. But violence is never far away, and when the past doesn’t stay buried, the answers will lead to even more questions.

Death is coming, and the end is near. But for whom?

This is book 3 in the Daemons of San DeLain series which should be read in order.

Series: (Demonic Disasters and Afterlife Adventures Book 1)
Author: Shannon Mae
Length: 170 pages

Genre/Tropes: Romance / Paranormal / Angels & Demons / Grumpy & Sunshine / Low Angst Relationship / Instawant / 

Notes: I found this through a recommendation from MA Church. I really enjoying it. It's very sweet and fun and hit the reading spot. :) The forward lets you know this is this author's first published work. The next book in the series is about a different couple coming out in July. It's already on my wish list.

Blurb: Adam:

Adam is not having a good day. First, he finds out his very long time boyfriend has been having an affair. Then, his dramatic exit becomes a little too dramatic when he ends up dead. To top it off, he finds out that the afterlife isn’t at all what he expected (he has no desire to learn to play the harp, thank you very much). Fortunately for him, some afterlife bureaucratic screw up ends him up with the most smoking hot demon he’s ever seen, and he decides he’s keeping him. Maybe the afterlife won’t be so bad after all.

Minos:

As Judge of the Damned, Minos has seen all sorts of human depravity over his endless existence. When a beautiful, shining soul pops into his chamber for judgment, he knows it's a mistake. The human, however, seems quite content to hang around, and it isn’t long before Minos decides he just might decide to keep this one. Minos isn’t the optimistic or happy sort, but he can’t help but be caught up in the whirlwind that is Adam. When forces beyond his control want to return Adam to his designated afterlife, Minos decides that will not be happening, heaven and hell be damned.

Tags: A very grumpy demon meets his match in a snarky, sunshine-filled human; not all angels are nice; Limbo is the party place to be; the afterlife is run like a corporate office, complete with red tape, pointless memos, and high levels of frustration; Minos has a tail and knows how to use it.

Series: Hobson Hill's Omegas, 10
Author: CW Gray
Length: 113 pages

Genre/Tropes: Romance / Sweetverse / Low Angst Relationship / Midlife / 

Notes: This was really sweet and an enjoyable read. It was nice dipping the toe back into Hobson Hills. It's like meeting up with old friends. 

Blurb: Welcome back to Hobson Hills!

Sheriff Ian McKenzie never thought he would find love again. In fact, he didn't even bother looking for it. He's content with taking care of his town and trying to wrangle the meddlesome Wilson family. When a handsome, younger man lands on his doorstep, Mack isn't sure what to do. He can protect him, but can he handle falling in love with him?

Roe Dorsey has had a hard few years. Divorced, stalked, and harassed, he hasn't had a chance to settle into his new normal. When someone tries to kill him, Roe takes his family and retreats to Hobson Hills. He had no idea that he would find a home there, little less love.

Mack and Roe must decide if they'll stand together against the danger stalking Roe or let it divide them permanently.

Author Note: 32k mlm omegaverse romance with mpreg. Can be read as a standalone but characters from previous books pop up. Surprise babies, loveable pets, found family, sweet older men surprised by love, meddlesome Wilsons, and the return of the Hot Mess Club.

Series: Society of Shifters
Author: TS Snow
Length: 275 pages

Genre/Tropes: Romance / Paranormal / Low Angst Relationship / RH

Notes: I stumbled on this and licked on the cover because love reading about different shifters. I double love when it's low angst. The relationship is the primary plot with the side plot of Haven needing donations to stay running. All four of them are atypical shifters and I have to say the way the author put things together, there were some super cute moments. I'm about 65% through the story and looking forward to how they are going to handle Haven's money problems. This is in a shared universe and I'm already looking at the other offerings. I know they won't have the same low angst as this one, but they are all standalones and have unusual shifter types. That's hitting my reading sweet spot right now.

Blurb: Being soul-bonded to a koala is all naps and eucalyptus leaves until a dog is chasing you.

But if the dog is cute, being caught isn’t so bad.

Especially when he and his friends just so happen to be my soulmates.

Owen, my loyal charmer;
Ethan, my gentle giant;
And Liam, my shy childhood best friend.

A relationship between a koala, a dog, a hedgehog, and a moose may seem like a bad joke, but we’re determined to make it work.

When the place I grew up in starts to struggle financially, will I be able to count on the guys to help me find a solution before the children who live there lose their only home?

Sleepy as a Koala is a standalone paranormal romance where the FMC doesn't have to choose between love interests. It contains strong language and sexual situations that might not be suited for anyone under the age of 18.

Despite being part of a shared world, Sleepy as a Koala can be read independently of any of the other books.

Thank you for stopping by and reading!!
