Roxanne Giselle Logan is fucking awesome. That is all.
Hank is also pretty damn awesome as is Shamus as is the rest of the crew.

So I LOVE Eddie. I mean it's impossible not to love Eddie and I love Jet as it's really, really impossible not to love Jet but this Rock Chick is probably one of my least favourite and the main reason is probably because of Jet's non-stop insecurities. Like I get her being unsure and stuff but the women had ALL the hot bunch making advances on her. I mean come on. You can't be that oblivious for that long!!
And the 'eeks' and 'I'm boring' and the 'doo-da'? I mean a fucking 'doo-da'.
Still this is entertaining and it has lots of Tex and introduces us to Daisy and Shirleen and they deserve their very own stars. I think these books get better and better as they go along.
The audio of this series is also fabulous and totally worth picking up.

So this is the series that made me fall in love with a city before I got there and then I got there and fell more in love with it because of this series.
It's over the top, it's ridiculous, it's got Liam Nightingale, it's got a mad man who makes great coffee called Tex, it's got a fierce drag queen and it's got the employees and acquaintances of Nightingale Investigations. Entertaining to the max. Love it.

Have my reading dates all mixed up on this one. Original reading date is 19 July to 20 July 2013, with a second read from 8 October to 12 October 2013 apparently. I also listened to the whole series in June 2014 while chasing tornados around a Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota, Wyoming and spending a fabulous chunk of time checking out some places that are mentioned in the book around Denver.
This series wasn't originally my favourite but listening to them while being in Denver cemented them as an all time favourite.
Pure comfort reading!

The start of this was so promising, I was loving it. Derek was possessive and clearly in love. Stiles was oblivious and clearly in love. It was all so sweet and adorable and then it went on and on and on and on and on and on and on and... you get the idea. This fic is about twice as long as it should be and should have ended somewhere around the halfway mark because after that things just became repetitive and a bit pointless and I even forgot that Stiles was a fox and what the fucking hell was that with the elf? I mean seriously?
I'm a bit annoyed because it really was going so well and I plan on this one being my last Sterek fic for a little while and it sucks that I was just willing it to be over.
But it does deserve a cute gif...
Kind of fluffy and very funny. Full of Stiles snark. Like he is ON all the time but it made me laugh so it's all good.
This was a 3 star read all the way through but the ending deserves one shiny star all for itself. Made me do massive lol's.
The relationship development is kind of non existent but there is magic afoot so that can kind of explain away everything I guess.
