Blind Tiger

Very promising start to a new series. Didn't knock me over the way [b:Widdershins 16128152 Widdershins (Whyborne & Griffin, #1) Jordan L. Hawk https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1352121658l/16128152.SY75.jpg 21952704] did, but that was my first book by JLH and I was so thrilled to find a new author who pushed all of the right buttons for me. The Roaring (lol) 20's is always an interesting time period, and the diverse set of secondary characters in The Pride add a lot of richness to the story. I feel like the grumpy/soft combination has been done many times, but Hawk has just started to scratch the surface of Alastair and Sam's fledgling relationship, and I have faith that he will add more nuance and complexity as the series progresses (who would have thought that Griffin was the designated problem child when Widdershins began?). And although the book is set in a different city and decades later than the Hexworld series, one can always hope that an older but still sexy Cicero from [b:Hexbreaker 29505845 Hexbreaker (Hexworld, #1) Jordan L. Hawk https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1457969009l/29505845.SY75.jpg 49794918] will make a cameo appearance someday.Keep on roaring, Jordan. There will always be an audience for imaginative queer paranormal romances featuring MCs who don't realize they are awesome, and the found families who accept them as they are.
