Moonlight and Mechanicals by Cindy Spencer Pape

When I requested this title from NetGalley, I forgot to see if it was part of a series. All I saw was STEAMPUNK and WEREWOLVES. Of course it was part of a series. The fourth book in said series, apparently. Which meant I missed all the build-up between these two crazy kids and only got to the part where they’re ready to be together. (Or ARE they?)

Liam was trying so hard to push Winifred away, at one point I just wanted her to actually forget him and move on. He seemed to be a lost cause. And honestly, he probably would have been if Winifred hadn’t pushed him so hard and her entire family hadn’t basically told him to get it together and tell her how he felt. Geez. You’d think Liam was fashioned after Derek from Teen Wolf with all the angst, misery, and inability to express his feelings wafting off of him.

The ending was actually rather horrific, when you think about it. Thankfully only vague descriptions were used or else I would have had nightmares. Seriously, be warned. It’s pretty messed up. I wish I’d known before reading. Siiigh.

What’s the thing people on tumblr say? Tag your triggers. This needs to be a thing in fiction as well as fanfic. Thanks.

Finally Home by Helen Scott Taylor

This is a rather clean romance from Carina Press, which I was not expecting. Most of their books have some passion in them. I just didn’t feel it from these characters. The biggest irk I had with it was Melanie’s “secret” from her past. It was waaaay overblown. Plus, Jack was kind of a jerk. I didn’t see what Melanie saw in him at the beginning of the book. Oh, well.
