Snarky Recommendations



A few weeks ago I asked you to tell me your favorite snarky characters, and now I want to share those recommendations.

Roger's fave snarkist is Jenks of Kim Harrison's Hollows series.

A Perfect Blood, Hollows #10 
Released: February 21, 2012

Summary: Ritually murdered corpses are appearing across Cincinnati, terrifying amalgams of human and other. Pulled in to help investigate by the FIB, former witch turned day-walking demon Rachel Morgan soon realizes a horrifying truth--a would-be creator is determined to make his (or her) own demons. But it can't be done without Rachel's blood.



Zita said that one of her fave snaristas is Queen Betsy of MaryJanice Davidson's Undead series.

Undead and Unstable (Undead #11)
Released June 5, 2012

Summary: Betsy's heartbroken over her friend Marc's death, but at least his sacrifice should change the future - her future - for the better. But it's not as if Betsy's next few hundred years will be perfect. After all, her half sister, Laura, is the Antichrist. Laura's mother is Satan, and family gatherings will always be more than a little awkward.

What's really bothering Betsy is that ever since she and Laura returned from visiting her mom in hell, Laura's been acting increasingly peculiar. Maybe it's Laura's new job offer': Satan's replacement down under. Unfortunately, the position comes at a damnable price: killing Betsy, her own flesh and blood.


Anonymous likes Marcella "Bare Knuckles" Malone from Shelly Laurenston's Pride series and says, "Nobody tops her snark, ever!" I must say, I love the character's name and Danielle Binks of AlphaReader says "Oh my golly gosh, I love this series. Each time I crack open a new Shelly Laurenston book I think it can’t get better than the last. . . and so far, I have been proven wrong."


Bear Meets Girl (Pride #7)
Released March 27, 2012

Summary: Lou Crushek is a reasonable, mellow, easygoing kind of guy. But once someone starts killing the scumbags he works so hard to bust, that really gets under his fur. Especially when that someone is a curvy she-tiger with a skill set that's turning Crush's lone-bear world upside down--and bringing his passion out of hibernation. . .

As a member of an elite feline protection unit, Marcella Malone has no problem body-dropping anyone who hunts her kind. But Crush is proving one major pain in her gorgeous tail. The only reason she's joined forces with him is to track down the wealthy human who's got her entire species in his ruthless sights. It sure isn't because Crush's stubborn and contrary attitude is rubbing Cella in all the right ways. . .



GRATUITOUS VIDEOS OF THE DAY

I'll even the testosterone addict's seal of approval to the first two. Very readable even if you think muscle cars and explosions should be considered art forms and when belching you should always strive for maximum volume.
