 Rinse Repeat: you get a mate! you get a mate! Everybody gets a mate!

In this second installmemt of Warts and Claws Inc we get hot an bothered with a Demon-Fae, An aura-reading witch and a big broody Manticore shifter. I mean this office is full of horny employees  - HR is weird like that.

Where's the camera. Oh there. This is my awkward "Office stare".

But listen there is an overarching sinister subplot and it is building up really nicely. Mystery, intrigue, double agents, sexy double crosses etcetera. I find that I am warming up entirely to the Omega world in doses.

Romance/Spice/Plot🔥😅Spoiler Alert: everyone is horny . I'm okay with the way this series dives right into sexual tension so fast it's like whiplash. It's paranormal, it's crazy, It's spicy.

Structure:-3 the writing is awful but bearable. The same phrases are recycled over and over have been used in both books "let's figure this out" and other cringe-inducing statements. Grammar and syntax issues did rear their ugly little heads but the story moved and after a while I just shrugged it off. I'm a stickler for good grammar in the classroom though.

Characters:  Cinder is hot in that lithe kind of sapiosexual kind of way. Lora is adorable and frightening and fun. And I could just eat Mich with a spoon.

Favorite/Curious/Unique Scene:: `
Warning: you may need to stand in a waterfall and just cool down after this.

Favorite/Curious/Unique Quotes:
If I didn't know any better, I would say that somebody had cursed me - but cursing a demon was damn near impossible (Lora on Monday Morning Madness
God damn, I was entirely too thirsty this morning (Hehehe - Lora on being a bit of a horn-demon)
