There are definitely two different camps when it comes to **My Commander (Bewitched and Bewildered, #1)** by **Alanea Alder**. The first camp absolutely loves it, declaring it the funniest book ever. Then there's the second camp, whose reviews are peppered with words like stupid, infantile, immature, ridiculous, and annoying. In my opinion, both camps are completely right. Yes, this paranormal romance review covers some of the most outrageously ridiculous, over-the-top, unbelievable stuff you wi...

I just happened across this series, and decided to take a risk. I didn’t know what to expect when I started this book 📙 …. I needed something more on the lighter side …….I loved the new world I had seem to fall into, I believe this author has started building a great new world May I be the first to welcome you to Lycaonia, one of four hidden paranormal cities in the United States."There are four major paranormal cities, they call them pillar cities. Lycaonia is the shifter city; Noctem Falls i...

I'm not usually the type to read a book with a faceless hunk of chiseled man-meat on the cover, but a friend of mine recommended this book to me and said that it was, quote, "fucking hilarious". And I love a good chuckle, so I accepted her challenge and read it. I didn't find it nearly as humorous as she did, though one section did have me giggling up a storm at 1:30 in the morning... but it was ONLY that section that I found actually funny. The rest of the book, I was too preoccupied with thoug...

Why the murderous crustaceans read this suspiciously non-crappy PNR book in its entire entirety, didn’t feel like killing it with fire using their waterproof flamethrowers in the process, and quite shockingly ended up rating it 4 bloody shrimping stars:① Because it's so beautifully OTT ♫ yeah you know me ♫ you cannot NOT find it hilarious. Strangely enough, some of my dear barnacled friends thought the book was "beyond stupid" and "just too ridiculous." But I tolerate love them anyway. I mean, i...

This is just too ridiculous.

(3.5 rounded down to 3 stars.)My Commander is the perfect example of an interesting premise and a great set of characters wasted by mediocre writing. Not only was the prose overly simplistic and direct, it sometimes skipped over important details, like the setting or other similar descriptions, and this grated on my nerves big time.For example, in Chapter One, the descriptions of the guys during Meryn’s first encounter with them were murky at best. She turned to see a tall, blond man with green ...

I am so fucking glad I finished this book. I was looking for something light and fun but this one was just beyond stupid. First we have the insta-love which I hate but was still willing to give it a try. Then we have the heroine who was a complete idiot. What was she, thirty something? She acted like a fucking teenager. One juvenile thing after another. Nothing she did made any sense. Even the hero was annoying at times. Nope, I'm not reading this series. I honestly don't think my brain could st...

★★★★ 4 Shape-shifter stars ★★★★ My Commander really was a very light paranormal read where the plot stayed light & the characters stayed fun and entertaining to the end.Will defiantly be reading book 2 ! I loved every one of the secondary characters so far,which in itself is a very RARE case ! At times the characters were down right hilarious..What are these? They look like scars."
