“When it comes to combining offbeat humor and mayhem, it is tough to beat Laurenston.” —RT Book ReviewsShe’s the woman he’s been hired to kidnap. But ZeZé Vargas has other ideas . . . like getting them both out of this nightmare alive. Just one problem. She’s crazy. Certifiably. Because while he’s plotting their escape, the petite Asian beauty is plotting something much more deadly . . .
Max “Kill It Again” MacKilligan has no idea what one of her own is doing with all these criminal humans until she realizes that Zé has no idea who or what he is. Or exactly how much power he truly has. But Max is more than happy to bring this handsome jaguar shifter into her world and show him everything he’s been missing out on. A move that might be the dumbest thing she’s ever done once she realizes how far her enemies will go to wipe her out.
Too bad for them Zé is willing to do whatever it takes to keep her alive . . . and honey badgers are just so damn hard to kill!
Shelly Laurenston’s shifter books are total mind-candy for me. She never fails to craft hysterical moments and provide cameos of our favorite characters from the Pride and Magnus Pack series. It took me a minute to adjust to Laurenston’s head-hopping style but it works in this honey badger installment. Readers that are familiar with Laurenston will adore this action-packed romp.
I have been following the MacKilligan sisters since the very beginning, stalking release dates like a maniac, and Max has always been my absolute favorite. There is something about her tiny homicidal self decorated with a smile that makes me undeniably happy. Watching her character growth since book one has been fantastic as you get to see some of the reasoning behind her actions as a sister (pestering Stevie) and more.
As much as I loved Badger to the Bone, I do wish that Zé’s story arc had a bit more to it. I loved his character and really wanted to see more of him as a primary character rather than just a sidekick to Max and her sisters.
Overall, this was such a fun way to wrap up the MacKilligan HEAs and we are primed for more honey badger action. I can hardly wait to see who gets their moment first! I am shipping on particular jackal with a certain lady (no spoilers!) HARD. Make it happen Laurenston, I’m here for it! Also, I need Dutch and his loony sisters. Dutch deserves a HEA too! (I’m almost positive I included this demand request at the end of my review for In a Badger Way. I really want it apparently!)
