The OMFG: Horns Over Hooves

The OMFG: Horns Over Hooves by [Jules Counts]
($7.99 or Kindle Unlimited) Horns over Hooves is a romance about a woman who develops a crush on a faun. Clocking in at over 300 pages, and waiting well over 100 pages for her to finally fuck the dude, it's definitely not the norm for what I review here. [Purchase Link]

Before I continue on, I'll say I didn't finish this book. Not because it was bad, though, I just actually have trouble reading longer works. It's rare that I spend more than an hour on any read. That being said, I spent three hours reading this before I put it down.

It's got good characters (though giving two major characters nearly identical names tripped me up, Kira and Lila), surprisingly intriguing world-building, and of course, a killer, believable romance. Maybe I'll come back for this one, eventually. I'll definitely be coming back for the shorter christmas special for this book.

Most people recommending this told me it was funny. I didn't find it funny, but I didn't find it stilted, either, I never felt any place didn't stick a landing. Enough people mentioned it being funny that it must either get funny after the 150 page mark, or I'm just missing jokes. Which is sad, I'm a huge comedy person.

A Fairytail Love by Cyd Sidney

($2.99 or Kindle Unlimited) A man gets sold out by his shitty ballet company to be the companion of an otherworldly sugar plum fairy. [Purchase Link] Lots of dialogue and well-built characters. I can appreciate when I can tell who is talking even if there names aren't attached to the dialogue (which is useful since there was a spot where the paragraphs were separated so that it sounded like a different person was talking). But I didn't really care for the characters or the chemistry they brought, as well-written as they were. Felt less like fireworks and more like "well, I'll hook up with you, I guess, kinda bored anyway." I know that's rich coming from me since I wrote that exact plot in What the Weretiger Wants, but I want to be clear that this is NOT a dig at the quality of the work. The work is fine, just not my thing. I  don't always write stuff that isn't my thing, which is why What the Weretiger Wants is also "I'm bored. Let's fuck...
