![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Bleed, book two in the series, just blew me away. ![]() Review: Author Joel Abernathy impressed me so much with Exhale, book one in his Flesh and Bone series. Please see the inside cover for content warnings that contain vague spoilers. *This is a dark romance with themes that may be triggering to some readers. Bleed is an MM shifter romance with no MPREG. *This is the second book in the Flesh and Bone series, and the books are meant to be read in order. Love is not a luxury I can afford, but the sweetness of revenge has nothing on the taste of him… He is the one thing I won’t allow Dominic to take from me. Most dangerous of all, he would become the reason I lived if I let him. The high-born family of wolves I’ve sworn my life to protect, even if my dying breath is pledged to another. The man who took everything from me, my own personal devil in shifting flesh. My purpose, carved deeper into my soul than the names carved into my flesh. At a Glance: Once again, Abernathy’s talent for telling an emotionally fraught story and methodically engaging me in the lives of his characters is absolute. ![]()

Okay, support that cause and get a Cinder fluff in the meantime? I’m in. It’s a non-profit that helps to promote literacy and a love of reading in underserved areas. So I’ll be honest, one of the reasons I bought Cinder’s Adventure is because Marissa Meyer announced that she is donating all her royalties to First Book. Some others enjoyed it for the fluff it is and are satisfied. ![]() Some fans are terribly disappointed because they have been waiting a decade for Cinder and Kai’s wedding, and well, Cinder’s Adventure didn’t have a lot of that. Afterwards, I saw a lot of mixed reviews from fans on Goodreads. I’m a big fan of this series, so I gulped this right in. Cinder’s Adventure was released March 2022 in honor of 10 years of Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer. ![]() ![]() ![]() The bird's cry can go on for hours, depriving them of sleep.
