Moonlight and Midtown (Fairy Tales of the Magicorum #1.5)

                Hello happy readers!  So today I have a quick review for you of a novella that falls between the first book I reviewed last year and the sequel set to come out later in 2018 and my Monthly Wrap-Up to follow.  Lots happening.  I had some type of bug at the start of the week and it got me way off track but again just going to work hard to get back on top of things.  That said lots of listening and reading happening and right now my thoughts on Moonlight and Midtown (Fairy Tales of the Magicorum #1.5) by Christina Bauer.  I previously reviewed book one in this new series Wolves and Roses and there will be spoilers for it to follow as that is how series work!

Rating:  5 Stars

                This is a quick novella read that follows the events of Wolves and Roses and how things were left off.  Bryar Rose is ready to enjoy her new life away from her evil aunties and her curse.  She has a new man, who is literally her dream guy, and about to attend a regular school with her bestie.  Sounds great.  Accept her wolf side takes some effort to get used to and it has ruined her wardrobe.  Oh and there are some sketchy things happening in the city and with magic as a whole.  Her life is far from boring.

                I liked the little insight to follow up with these characters.  Bryar, Knox, Elle, and Alec are great fun.  I liked that Bry wasn’t instantly okay with and good at all this power that she uncovered.  She has to learn to handle it and that also means ruining some clothing along the way.  But hey perfect reason for a shopping trip with the bestie.  We get to see some more bonding with Bry and Knox which is always fun because Knox is pretty awesome with her and he tough exterior and soft center only for her.  This really was a novella so not a ton to say just that it gives some depth to the characters in the aftermath both fun and not so fun moments as well as building up more of the world and the issues they face.  I can’t wait for the next full book set to come out later this year, Shifters and Glyphs. 

                Until next time…

~Can't Wait Wednesday~ Moonlight and Midtown (Fairy Tales of the Magicorum #1.5)

                Can't Wait Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Wishful Endings.  Waiting on Wednesday has been don for some time so I am switching it up for now!  Basically books that are not yet out that we are dying to get our hands on.  This week’s pick is:

Moonlight and Midtown (Fairy Tales of the Magicorum #1.5) by Christina Bauer

Out:  5/27

From Goodreads:

                After battling werewolves and evil aunties, Bryar Rose is ready to enjoy her new life.  No more crazy aunties.  Her curse is toast.  And Bry’s new man, Knox, is literally a dream come true.  Best of all, Bry will soon attend a regular high school.  Forget those sketchy tutors!  To get ready, Bry is dedicating the rest of her summer to some serious back-to-school shopping with her best friend, Elle.  It’s a blast, except for one thing:

                Mysterious strangers are following Bry across Manhattan.

                All these stalkers have oddly familiar scents and an uncanny ability to slip into the shadows whenever Bry tries to confront them.  Even worse, their presence is making Knox act crazy with a capital C.

                But Bry’s having none of it. Enough of her life has already been ruined by secrets.  With Elle’s help, Bry plans to confront these strangers, find out what they want, and send them packing.  Trouble is, the truth about their identity won’t be so easy to manage, especially when Bry finds out how these stalkers could change her future with Knox…and not for the better.

Why I’m Waiting:

                I love this author.  Auto-buy right there alone.  But I really enjoyed book one of the series and look forward to seeing where these characters go.
