Wounded

I picked up the first book in the series, Priceless on a whim a few years ago. It was on sale for $0.79, I liked the cover and the blurb drew me in. I hadn't really read any urban fantasy prior to it but I've always loved fantasy and the idea of a more grown up fantasy grabbed me. And it was perfect. Everything I expected and so much more. I proceeded to demolish the remaining available books and Shannon Mayer has fast become one of my favourite authors. All of the books are full of fast paced, well written plots, hysterically funny lines and lots of heart. The characters worm their way under your skin until you're cheering with them at their successes and sobbing with them at their failures. Couldn't recommend the series more highly show more and will certainly be rereading many many times.



It's only been five fkn months? Are you kidding me? I feel like it's been decades.

Her uncle was in love with her mother? Wow. Family drama.

Pamela's the best. It sucks she keeps getting kidnapped. It's not doing much for her self-esteem.

Ooh Zorro. Or Marco. Whatevs.

Oh Alex. Way to blow it.

No, not Berget. After all the drama getting her back. Not fair.

Aww Pamela, happy they're together and then being split up again.
Fk Milly. What bad timing. Yes Orion, won't you just fucking die already? Hehe.

Okay, didn't see that coming. Milly's dead. I have such conflicting feelings about her. But her death makes me sad.

Pamela’s mouth dropped open. “How did Alex know?” Alex grunted and rolled to his back, tongue flipping out between his teeth as he grinned up at us. “I is smarty smart now.”

Mayer, Shannon. Wounded (A Rylee Adamson Novel, Book 8) . Hijinks Ink Publishing. Kindle Edition.

Yep. Alex be smart.

Yeah, I just want Beauty to be killed and be done with it. Nothing but fucking trouble.

Uh oh. Orion knows. And Rylee still doesn't.

Ooh Pam and Frank. Yeah I don't like it.

Hey I thought she couldn't remember Caleb? Aww, Berget standing by Rylee.

Yay no more Beauty. Hate that bitch.

No. Don't start saying goodbyes. You'll make me cry. Jeez Liam - Pamela? Really?

Well at least he's finally off the Will thing.

No. no no no no no no bloody well no. Rylee don't abandon Pamela without saying goodbye. Damn it. It's bad enough what Liam asked her to do. Bad enough when you ran from Liam but this is Pamela. I love Rylee, I do but sometimes she just doesn't think. I like that Liam is still with her - that they bound their souls. Or I would be crying a whole lot more than I am. I hate this series sometimes.

We can’t say we readers weren’t warned. Major events unfold in Book 8 of the Rylee series. I didn’t rate it more highly because I felt the writing was a bit shallow considering the important plot developments. But finally, what we’ve guessed was happening is true. The series has gone on slightly too long for me, but I will read it to the end, plus all the novellas for the backstory.

A good book will make you laugh. A great book will make you weep. An extraordinary book will make you laugh, cry, and keep you captivated with twists and turns. This book is extraordinary! I'm so looking forward to the next book! Great job Ms. Mayer!
