Review: In a Badger Way

In a Badger Way by Shelly Laurenston
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Stevie MacKilligan is a honey badger hybrids, a brilliant scientist and terrified of bears. Shen Li is a panda bodyguard for a child genius that Stevie is mentoring. Stevie and her sisters are vicious hybrids because their no-good loser father liked to play the field.He also robbed another branch of the family of millions.

When shifter bodies start turning up, partially shifted in death, Stevie is sure that someone is trying to cure shifters, something she desperately wants to do because her hybrid is hugely destructive and uncontrollable, she also think she knows who it might be.

Let me start by saying I love Shelly Laurenston and I love her books but I have to say this one did nothing for me, I felt like it was a roll-call of characters from every previous book just thrown into the mix, there were too many plots and too many characters. Stevie was bit like Irene Conridge (who features in this book) but not as good, in fact I think that having so many much-loved characters in this book just highlighted that Stevie and Shen just weren't as memorable.

Overall, I enjoyed reading this book (hey, its still Shelly Laurenston, one of the funniest writers on the planet) but compared to some of her previous books this was a bit of a hot mess.

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.
