Notes: Definitely witchy and diabolical. Not for the faint-hearted: think basement-bound, sound-muffling charms—but this one leans into fun chaos.
Our Review: “Huh, I didn't mean to enjoy this. Books with "daddy" make me nauseaus, but for some reason, this was hilarious. Maybe it was the truth truffles? I love that they kept forgetting about Clover in the basement. I would have liked to know more about Blair's mom and some of the interactions with her father in the past, but I think there's more in book 2 which happens before this one. Fun read.”

Our Reviews: “Where to start - was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed this book. I'm still not quite sure as to how they physically "fit", but it's a book. I don't like how much cow he looked like on the cover of this book, felt weird. They need a better picture to help the reader not envision an actual cow doing all of this. Also, 24 ounces???? Where does all of that go? I still have so many questions......” - Penelope Black
“What a riot. This book had no business being as good as it was. The characters were likeable, the setting was new and interesting, and you've gotta appreciate someone stepping outside of their comfort zone and grabbing life by the minotaur dick.” - Cardigan B

Halloween-themed? → No, but fits the monster vibe.
Tone? → Sweet and spicy, a lovely combo.

Notes: Anna excels at “it’s weird and it works.” Ever hear of a zombie who keeps her human mind? Now you have—and it’s hilarious.
Our Review: “Well Hell's bells. This was fucking great. A woman in post-apocalyptic Europe is bitten. It's the story of her being a zombie and what happens when the consciousness of the living stays in the dead. There are now two souls in one body. You see the story from her POV and the zombie's POV. Really unique. The human FMC is mated with a Vampire in their group. When she turns into a zombie, her zombie soul mates with the Alpha werewolf in the group. Fucking wild ride.”

Standalone? → Yeah, it’s a self-contained riot.
Tone? → Weird, funny, and totally enjoyable.
