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 Hook a Harbinger." It's the fourth novel in her Murder Sprees and Mute Decrees series.
["Romily:
Welcome back to Will-They-Won’t-They? The Engagement: The Foxily Edition. That’s the name of the show that I’m planning to pitch to a producer that’s based on my life. Will Fox ever give me a ring? Who knows! I don’t, and I don’t think Fox does either. If the rock currently sitting not-on-my-finger is any indication, we might be doomed.
In the meantime, let me introduce to you my new best friend: a cherub. (Are we surprised by this turn of events? No. I flipping love cherubs.) Akile Aristide walks into my life, declares that I’m his bestie, and then flips the world on its three way axis. What’s a Harbinger to do except announce, “Incoming!” and hope everyone’s buckled in?
The Trouble with Trying to Hook a Harbinger is a 60k MM Paranormal Romedy with a Harbinger who gets to change his title to The Chosen One, a slightly manic Reaper who’s out for a little blood, and the family that they’re building one adoption at a time."]
There was DEFINITELY some catch up when I jumped back into this series. It's pure crack, but like with all good crack, it's slightly unhinged. I had to go re-read blurbs and covers to remember who was who, who was in love with who, and who was "related"/related to who. Few things stood out though: still soooo fucking obsessed with Romily.
And if you're ever feeling bad about yourself, think of Romily. He never thinks bad about himself, because he knows he's a survivor, a treasure, and perfect just the way he is. And he won't let anyone (even someone who kidnapped him) think poorly of themselves either.
And can we go back to the crack?! This book!!!??? D: I can't! It's funny and ridiculous and wholesome and unhinged and heartwarming. And how we got all of the summaries and backtracking, the whole meta-ness of it all, here. for. it.
Trigger Warnings: violence, parent-cide, one moment of anti-trans bullshit, and more.
