seriously romantic: the big bad wolf by jus accardo

the big bad wolf is like teen wolf meets footloose in the best possible way. kensey's dad wants her to match up with a suitable mate. it's their pack's turn to share the fire affinity. but kensey's a high school senior, she has no interest in being any guy's mate. when she overhears her neighbor arguing with his father about the same exact thing she has a plan. 

slade mcallister is the worst possible choice for a mate. his clan's affinity is allure, which basically means they are good at manipulating people to do their bidding. and into having sex. slade does his best to avoid using his gift, but all that repression leads to an uncontrollable wolf. 

kensey's plan is to present slade as her choice of mate and to request that they undergo a courting. their packs adhere to all these old school rules that are not worth recounting here, but basically both slade and kensey chafe against the restrictions they are forced to abide. 

they were friends once. as children. and it meant something, until one day it didn't. kensey didn't realize how much she missed her friend until she started spending time with him again. and the closer they become, old feelings surge between them and grow and deepen into love. 

but slade is still not an acceptable choice, and kensey has a duty to her pack. and all of this will come to a head in a pretty dramatic fashion. 

this story was the perfect amount of paranormal and angsty teen romance. 

**the big bad wolf will publish on march 5, 2018. i received an advance reader copy courtesy of netgalley/entangled publishing (crave) in exchange for my honest review.

simply catching up on all things general hospital

[although hilariously, cameron whom i believe is older than molly is now younger. and because cameron is so cute, i'm kind of hoping they won't fix that. we also haven't seen spencer in ages, so he may be approaching 50.] in any case, at this point we've only s

genre debate: urban fantasy versus epic fantasy: team epic gets their say

Team Epic: Why I Love Epic Fantasy! Since it's my blog, I'll go first: Epic fantasies take you on quests that take you beyond the limits of what is real. The rules can be different, they are different, and everything just matters more. It's not just one life at stake, it's lives, it's a whole world, a whole way of being. Epic fantasies force you to use your imagination and take you on an adventure to places you never thought possible, but as different as everything feels, there are still things that are always real, no matter how you write it. Keep reading to see what a handful of Entangled TEEN authors think about epic fantasies: Erica Cameron - Island of Exiles (The Ryogan Chronicles, #1): Why do I love epic fantasy? It's a blank slate. We can erase all of our preconceived notions of society and law and even science, throwing all of that over the side of a cliff. Epic fantasy lets us push humanity well past the breaking point with ever
