Welcome to a feature I'm going to post from on Mondays called:
Read This F@!%ing Book!
This is a feature for me to push my favorite reads that just aren't getting enough attention!
I'm also opening it up to anyone who would like to guest post. Do you have a book that you just LURVED but feel like its not getting the play it deserves? Email me to let me know and I'd be THRILLED to have you post about it here! Especially if its something I haven't reviewed yet - that's even better (but not necessary)! If you're interested email me:

Read This F@!%ing Book Post 6:
The Charlie Madigan Series by Kelly Gay
(Click cover for Goodreads)
(Click title for Amazon)
Why I love it:
This series is urban fantasy at its best: kick ass heroine, her sexy partner, great side characters, and terrific action. What is perhaps the icing on the cake is the ridiculously good world building. Kelly Gay created an alternate version of Atlanta where humans are working hard to keep the off-worlders in check. Some of the off-worlders come from Elysia, like leading lady Charlie's hunky partner Hank (he's a siren...gotta love that siren voice...). Some off worlders come from Charydon and have nefarious plans for Atlanta. Charlie works with Hank to kick some tail when necessary, and their chemistry and slowly building relationship is superb! If you love romantic tension you can shake a stick at, this series is for you.

Why I'm pushing it:
The number of people reviewing this series on Goodreads is fewer than those of comparable series. That tells me a lot of you guys aren't aware of the awesome that is the Charlie Madigan series! If you're an urban fantasy fan you HAVE TO check this series out! You won't be disappointed. The plots are fast paced and the romance has a slow simmer that heats up more and more in each book. Plus, Emma, Rex, and Brim make for some of my favorite secondary characters in the genre.
HANK!
Hank is sexy and cocky and his one liners with Charlie throughout the series are to die for. But its his consistent loyalty to Charlie and her family that warm my heart. Charlie calls him her 'lion' and this is a very appropriate nickname for him. He's huge and muscular and sex on a stick. If you try this series out just for Hank, I wouldn't blame you!

Well there you have it! If you haven't read this series I highly recommend it!

I have this series sitting on my bookshelf to read before AAD in August. But I'm going to finish the Shaede Assassin series 1st then I'm moving on to this one.
ReplyDeleteThis is an AMAZING series! I'm so glad you're featuring Charlie and company because these books are some of the best and most under-read UF on the shelves these days.
ReplyDeleteDidn't think I could fall for someone named Hank but it sounds like it's a real possibility with this series :-)

My TBR list is too long, but you have me intrigued. Not sure exactly when I'll get to it, but I will get to it. Hopefully, soon. It looks great.
ReplyDeleteEveryone please send your love to Kelly Gay when you finish these and make she gets to continue the series. The current publisher isn't doing any more. She left us in a good place but we need more Hank and Charlie!
