I have NOT been good at keeping up with my top author's latest releases...for a while. It's hard keeping up when you just keep adding more authors to the list and keep adding more ARCs to your other list and have to work for a living (boo). Anywho, here's Jennifer Cody's "The Trouble with Trying to Bag a Blood Witch." It's the fifth novel in her Murder Sprees and Mute Decrees series.
["Elijah:
Imagine coming home from an extended stay in a foreign country to find a letter from a house sitter you didn’t hire warning you to get a protection order against your ex and informing you that you’re a terrible plant dad.
I mean, I am a terrible plant dad, and I probably should get a protection order against Stalker Steve, but that letter isn’t the weirdest thing to happen to me today. I think the teleporting alien baby who’s decided to make me their perch probably takes the prize for Weirdest Thing in Elijah Penn’s Life.
Fortunately, the baby’s parents hired a bounty hunter to bring me and my new buddy back. Unfortunately, Darcy Hellspinner might be the sexiest man I’ve ever met in real life, and if it isn’t clear from the fact I call my ex Stalker Steve, I have terrible taste in men. I have the sneaking suspicion that Darcy’s going to be my next big mistake, but that’s ok—I’m probably going to be his too.
The Trouble With Trying to Bag a Blood Witch is a 87k paranormal romance with a little bit of sci-fi mixed in, two MCs who think this is just an extended hook up, and a baby alien with impeccable timing. The Foxily family is growing again. It’s Darcy’s turn to bring in a mate, but he’s lodging an official complaint because this isn’t what he signed up for."]
If you love Romily, you'll be as equally obsessed with Elijah. He's curious and gives zero fucks. He's friendly and kind to everyone, even the people mysteriously lined up to kill him.
Darcy was intrigued by Elijah's "zero fucks" and pulled in by his whit, resilience, and ass (yeeaaah). He kept saying that he didn't want a mate (just like he said he didn't want to be a Foxily), but then, he's partly through the book and he goes "you and I are as inevitable as the sunrise." Swooooon.
There was a lot in this book. It covered quite a few species and invasions and attacks and lures. I probably shouldn't have binged it (I have a headache now), but here we are.
Trigger Warnings: violence, loss, and more.
