My First Post!

Before I post my first review, allow me to introduce myself. I’m an educator who has been obsessed with romance novels since I snuck into a bag at my grandmother’s house and read a bunch of her Harlequin Romances at age thirteen.

Reading is my escape and my greatest pleasure and in my capacity as a school librarian, I encourage my students to find books, authors and genres that make them fall into a book as well.

I’ll share tidbits about my reading habits and history with subsequent reviews, and I’m new to the whole blog process, so bare with me. Next post, I’ll share which character/book started me thinking about writing my own blog about reading.

Silver Chimera by Zoe Chant

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I have said it before, but it bares repeating; Zoe(s) Chant create worlds that I wish I l could live in. Silver Chimera was the first of the Silver Shifters books that I had read. Somehow, I missed the previous books. I never felt lost as she gives plenty of background information on the other characters and events. Both the hero (Alejo) and heroine (Wendy) were relatable and warm characters. I loved how they blended their families and how patient and supportive Alejo was in coaxing an understandably reluctant Wendy into friendship and then more. The slow-burn was not agonizing as some are because of the way the both of them relate to their children and the team they became almost immediately.
I especially loved that the characters are both over fifty and how Wendy slowly overcame her self-worth issues with the support of the very lovable Alejo. (Relatable much?!) This was a sweet and heartwarming story, and I’m sure I’m not alone in wishing that Wendy’s ex has an anvil fall on his rotten head! Besides the very sweet love story, we have suspense from some bad guys, with appearances from some of the characters from the previous series (which I binged immediately after finishing Silver Chimera!).
I very much hope that we’ll see more in this series, and learn more about the mysteries in the garden as well as some of the other characters we were introduced to.
Well done!
