Confessions of a Werewolf Supermodel by Ronda Thompson

Lou Kinipski is a supermodel who has it all. Her only problems are her mysterious past and her her furry tail when comes and goes on it’s own schedule. But when a serial killer’s victims bear an uncanny resemblance to her, Lou finds herself in a live-or-death struggle and even worse, the murders appear to be tied into events from her past. Now can Lou find the killer and save herself or will she be the next body on the killer’s hit list?

I have to confess, I waited a long time for this book to arrive in print and I wasn’t disappointed. If you’re looking for a funny paranormal book with really cool characters, check this one out.

Twelve Sharp by Janet Evanovich

Stephanie Plum finds her life in danger again when someone arrives on the scene claiming to be Ranger’s wife and waiving a 9mm Glock. Soon she finds herself working closely with Ranger to locate his kidnapped child. Bullets and bombs and other mayhem await Stephanie as the body count rises. Now will she live long enough to see Thirteen or will her body parts be blasted all over the burb?

Okay, I’m biased. I love Evanovich’s books, but I will admit it’s hard to coming up with fresh stories for characters that have already survived though eleven other books. This book brings with it a fresh twist and gives us some new insight into the mysterious Ranger. A real Stephanie Plum fan would have read this book long before now (and you can now see how much of backlog I really have ) Highly recommended.
