To Kill a Badger by Shelly Laurenston, 480 pages

 Nelle Zhao is a social media maven who knows what matters. And the only thing that matters right now is survival. Not easy, though, when her honey badger teammates attract trouble the way she attracts attention. She didn’t know when it became her job to protect the ones she cares about from themselves, but even she has to admit…she’s really good at it. Too bad some people don’t appreciate when she’s being helpful. Especially Keane Malone, who doesn’t know how to accept a friendly paw. But Nelle excels at helping! And at ignoring other people’s irrational demands, such as doing it all alone. Keane, poor pretty kitty, doesn’t understand the kind of assistance a shit-starting honey badger like Nelle can truly offer . . .


Keane knows two things—he doesn’t like other people, and he is going to crush the de Medicis, an evil coalition of male lion shifters who are not only snatching innocent humans for fun and profit, but also killed his father. And for once, he may not be able to fight this fight alone, forcing him to let long-legged, jet-setting Nelle join the fight. And getting close to Nelle is suddenly bringing out his roar . . .

The French Lieutenant's Woman by John Fowles, 480 pages

 

The scene is the village of Lyme Regis on Dorset's Lyme Bay..."the largest bite from the underside of England's out-stretched southwestern leg."

Obsessed with an irresistible fascination for the enigmatic Sarah, Charles is hurtled by a moment of consummated lust to the brink of the existential void.

Torn by Rowenna Miller, 480 pages

A seamstress who stitches magic into clothing finds herself torn between loyalty to her brother and her secret love for a nobleman in this debut fantasy inspired by the French Revolution.

In a time of revolution, everyone must take a side.
Sophie, a dressmaker and charm caster, has lifted her family out of poverty with a hard-won reputation for beautiful ball gowns and discreetly embroidered spells. A commission from the royal family could secure her future -- and thrust her into a dangerous new world.
Revolution is brewing. As Sophie's brother, Kristos, rises to prominence in the growing anti-monarchist movement, it is only a matter of time before their fortunes collide.
When the unrest erupts into violence, she and Kristos are drawn into a deadly magical plot. Sophie is torn -- between her family and her future.


This was a pretty good read. A very fleshed out world, that reminded me of France pre-revolution. I'm interested in reading the next one.

She-Wolves, The Women Who Ruled England Before Elizabeth by Helen Castor, 480 pages

A book for book club. I love anything that is English history and this was my cup of tea. I didn't know very much about the early women of England except for Eleanor of Aquitaine so it was nice to add to my knowledge. I do wish they would have used more names than Henry and Edward though, lol.

The Hero's Guide to Storming the Castle by Christopher Healy, 480 pages

This is a hilarious series featuring the Prince Charmings who aren't as suave, dashing and heroic as the stories make them out to be. One of the funniest juvenile books I've read. I can't wait to see what happens next.
