What Big Teeth by Rose Szabo


Having read the preview "What Big Teeth" by Rose Szano, I had expected a coming of age story.  Though right, I was not nearly correct in the fact that I missed the huge elements of mystery and suspense as I followed Eleanor through her family of monsters as she tried to come to terms with who she was, despite the missing chunks in her memory, and with the fact that her family had previously abandoned her.  She has to decide whether to abandon the family who had sent her away or to save them from the mistakes she herself had made.  Without giving too much away, it is a rollercoaster ride of emotions as Eleanor has to figure out the truth amongst all the secrets hidden within the Zarrin family.

Why did her grandmother die?  What happened when she was a child that got her sent away?  What were the tarot cards trying to warn her about?  Who are the true monsters?  Why did the other family members dislike and fear her mother's mom, her other grandmother?  Does she deserve to be loved?  Who truly loves her?  What path should she take?  Are the feelings she feels true?  Who is Arthur? 

There are so many questions to be answered as Eleanor comes of age and struggles to figure things out.  I highly recommend this story for those who love fantasy and suspense.

As a cosplayer, there are so many characters to portray.  The wolf shapeshifters, the elegant grandmother, the polyps filled mother, the glasses wearing Arthur, etc.  It would take a really skilled cosplayer to do these characters justice.  Either way, definitely give this story a chance.  It holds a lot more than it seems.

Forbidden Griffin by Zoe Chant

I received "Forbidden Griffin" by Zoe Chant as an ARC.  "Forbidden Griffin" is a shifter romance between two exiled griffins.  While trying to avoid too many spoilers, Cela is exiled from Griffin Island because her babies were not born griffins.  A nice enforcer suggests she find Tyr to help her out.  Needless to say, Cela and Tyr get a lot more than they bargained for when they meet and Tyr helps Cela get used to living in a human world, as Cela had never been off the island.  They'd make a nice family... if only they could touch.  The story follows Tyr and Cela's journey to break their curse and become a family along the way.  It's a sweet story of new beginnings and second chances, as well as new and blended families.  Though this is the 8th book in Chant's Bodyguard Shifters series, it is easily read as a standalone, though there are a few references to things that happened in prior books.  I will definitely be going back to read the othe...

Long Silver Wig from TinyUnicorn Review

Hey all! I love this silver wig from TinyUnicorn. It is great for us cosplayers who like to do a variety of characters. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01DT7BLZS/ About the Seller: Awesome seller. Have worked with them before and items always arrive quickly and is of good quality. About the Product: I have worked with TinyUnicorn a lot and this is by far my favorite wig that I have received from them to review. This wig is silver and makes the perfect compliment to Christmas and winter themed costumes. My boyfriend said that I made a lovely Ms. Claus when I wore a Santa outfit or when I wore a nice red dress to a Christmas party. I can also see myself wearing this wig for my Princess Anna cosplay when she starts to freeze over after Elsa blasts her heart with ice magic. I think this wig will work wonders with elf cosplays as well and can't wait to see what else I can do with it. I tested the wig with a hair straightener and it is heat resistant which is always good for co...

Duskfire Dragon's Mate by Zoe Chant

I received "Duskfire Dragon's Mate" by Zoe Chant as an Advanced Reading Copy (ARC).  "Duskfire Dragon's Mate" is a shifter romance between a human and a dragon who had a lot of misunderstandings in their past. While trying to avoid too many spoilers, Maya had fled from Corin and the human world to Hideaway Cove, a safe haven for shifters, to protect her son, Tomas, in the previous story, "The Lightning Dragon's Mate."  Maya receives a mystery package that brings Corin back into her life.  Worried about her son, Maya agrees to allow Corin to stay and they begin to discover a world of misunderstandings, not just their own.  It's a sweet story of new beginnings and second chances, as well strengthening of familial bonds with some surprising twists in the plot.  Also, who can resist Tomas' adorable baby dragon antics and stealing of gold?  Though this is the 4th book in Chant's Hideaway Cove series, it can be read as a standalone.  Howe...
