How time flies when your kindle is perpetually full! As usual, I&#8217;m going to start with books most like mine and veer away a bit near the end, but every one of these is a very good read.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3KGh2kH\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3137 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/aimeeeasterling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/blackhat-188x300.jpg\" alt=\"Black Hat, White Witch\" width=\"188\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aimeeeasterling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/blackhat-188x300.jpg 188w, https:\/\/aimeeeasterling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/blackhat.jpg 298w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 188px) 100vw, 188px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3KGh2kH\">Black Hat, White Witch<\/a> begins a deeply bingeable series full of the warmth of found family, an excellent slow-burn romance, and a great urban fantasy adventure. All the books are in Kindle Unlimited, which is probably a good thing because it&#8217;s impossible to stop at book one.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Y1Grbx\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3138 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/aimeeeasterling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/wolfintheshadows-203x300.jpg\" alt=\"Wolf in the Shadows\" width=\"203\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aimeeeasterling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/wolfintheshadows-203x300.jpg 203w, https:\/\/aimeeeasterling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/wolfintheshadows.jpg 271w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 203px) 100vw, 203px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Y1Grbx\">Wolf in the Shadows<\/a> probably isn&#8217;t the best book to start with. (It&#8217;s book 6.) But if you&#8217;ve been reading along, you won&#8217;t want to miss this continuation of Maria Vale&#8217;s usual excellent worldbuilding and the very unique shifter pack she immerses us in. (If you haven&#8217;t been reading along, head back to book one of course.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3IQ1JDJ\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3139 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/aimeeeasterling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/silversilence-199x300.jpg\" alt=\"Silver Silence\" width=\"199\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aimeeeasterling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/silversilence-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/aimeeeasterling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/silversilence-768x1159.jpg 768w, https:\/\/aimeeeasterling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/silversilence-678x1024.jpg 678w, https:\/\/aimeeeasterling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/silversilence-1018x1536.jpg 1018w, https:\/\/aimeeeasterling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/silversilence-1357x2048.jpg 1357w, https:\/\/aimeeeasterling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/silversilence.jpg 1696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3IQ1JDJ\">Silver Silence<\/a> is my favorite of the Nalini Singh books I&#8217;ve read so far. I&#8217;m usually not a big fan of bear shifters, but this Russian alpha with his big, wobbly family is irresistible. Meanwhile, the heroine&#8217;s dilemma is page-turning. A must read!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3xWW0Xi\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3140 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/aimeeeasterling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/soulless-186x300.jpg\" alt=\"Soulless\" width=\"186\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aimeeeasterling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/soulless-186x300.jpg 186w, https:\/\/aimeeeasterling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/soulless.jpg 294w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 186px) 100vw, 186px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3xWW0Xi\">Soulless<\/a> was a re-read this year and a much-deserved one.
