Frozen 2 -> yaaaaaaaaaawn
Queen and Slim -> real, real good. upsetting and thoughtful. amazing cast.
Cats -> definitely not good, but not as bad as I wanted it to be, and the reviews lambasting it are amazing.
The Big Bad Wolf series by Charlie Adhara - m/m and werewolves
The Wolf at the Door - first and favorite.
- Cooper is the POV character and he is an emotionally resistant, very competent FBI/BSI agent investigating werewolf crime. He's a mess, he's got baggage, and I love him.
- Park is an agent for the werewolf authority called The Trust, who is partnered with Cooper on short notice when they are sent to Maine to investigate a murder that could be werewolf related.
- The author does the work to make werewolves a separate species, but there's not a lot of the fanfic tropes of dominance/submissions involved anywhere. Because the pov is tight for Cooper, we're all kind of in the dark about werewolf politics and culture.
- The mystery/case/suspects are so well done, and the whodunit aspect is sensible and I honestly felt swept along with the narrative.
- The relationship between Cooper and Park is slow(ish) burn, enemies to lovers, equal partnership and explicit and hot.
The Wolf at the Bay - they go back to Cooper's hometown to celebrate his brother's engagement party, and oops dad is suspected of a twenty plus year murder.
- Cooper continues to be a mess, but he's trying so hard to make it work with Park.
- Park has some issues, but if he has his way, we'll never find out what.
- Mystery is again well crafted with clues that make it solvable.
- Hot sex continues.
Thrown to the Wolves - Park's grandfather has died and they need to go to the funeral
(while I couldn't put the first two down, this one has been a much slower read. I think because I'm so mad on Cooper's behalf. I haven't finished it yet.)
- First look at werewolf politics, but you have to have binoculars and a code breaker.
