I only have twenty four pages left in When Breath Becomes Air, but I had to put it down again, re-learning that it's not an in-public book. So back to Black Water Sister, which I knew NOTHING about going in and am very much enjoying. May the Sunday Scaries flee my brain and body in fear of the Black Water Sister 🙏🏻📚
What are you reading this lovely Sunday? May the Sunday Scaries leave you be as well! ✨️

In these chapters Beth and Wrath have dinner at the mansion. Wrath explains more about vampires to Beth. She stays the night with Wrath and the next day looks through her father's things. She finds out how rich he was and sees a picture of her mother. Mr. X kidnaps a civilian vampire and kills him. José meets with Butch and he insisted that Beth comes into the police station for questioning since another....

TheSpineView Another prostitute has been killed. Butch convinces Jose to let him talk with Beth first. Wrath and Rhage have a fight with some lessors and we meet Rhage's beast he is cursed with. Beth is at home alone and she starts her transition. Butch finds her collapsed and Beth convinces him to take her to Wrath. Wrath sees her safely through the transition. Butch meets Marissa and they are drawn to each other. 1d
TheSpineView There are some interesting things taking place. I wonder what will happen when Havers finds out Butch is human. I think this will cause a lot of drama. Do you think the warriors will accept Butch into the fold? I like that there is subplots that are as interesting as the main story line. Looking forward to book two, Lover Eternal, which is about Rhage and Mary. @PageShifter @Laughterhp @julesG @ShananigansReads @DuckOfDoom @InkedBookworm13 1d

ShananigansReads I forgot how much we learn about the vampire world through Butch. I also love watching Wrath and Beth fall in love. I‘d also forgotten how hateful Havers is. 1d
julesG Ugh, Havers. I want to send him to therapy. 1d
julesG Mr X and his cronies give me "The Strain" vibes; with how they are made. 1d
PageShifter Good that you mentioned the next book! I have it on hold now, I maybe have to join a bit late if the previous reader doesn't return it before their due date 24h
TheSpineView @julesG @ShananigansReads Havers does need therapy. Maybexsome anger management classes. I get that he feels protective of Marissa but I think something else is also driving his hatred. 23h
TheSpineView @PageShifter Hopefully you will not have long to wait. 23h

This was a fun listen. It‘s hard not to compare it to the The Dresden Files since its urban fantasy and James J. Butcher is Jim Butcher‘s son. I like Grimsby, our hero, and his relationship with Mayflower, the gruff former member of the magic department. Magic is approved by the government, and the department polices it. The book is set in Boston, but it could be set anywhere since Butcher hasn‘t provided the book with a real sense of place.

We took a trip to the beach today. It was very windy, the surf was high, and double red flags were out — all because Tropical Storm Alberto was stirring up trouble in the Gulf. We‘ve only got an hour left in Dead Man‘s Hand, so we need to pick a new road trip book. I listened to more of Scorched Grace on my #audiowalk

This is a banger of a sequel — everything I wanted with a lot of extra goodies, too! Cin continues to be the heroine I can get behind, kicking ass and not even bothering to take names, and Bebe is still the best sidekick of ever. Possibly playing it a little fast and loose with the Norse pantheon, but it‘s a cracking good story, and ends in another unreal cliffhanger. Now to wait (im)patiently for October!
