A town full of shifters of all kinds (flamingo, hound dog, owl…just to name a few)…I mean, what could possibly go wrong?
Part of the Magic and Mayhem world and a fun (and funny) start to a new series. It’s filled with great characters, a little mystery, some danger, crazy friends, and smexy times. I recommend it.
I received a copy of this book via Prolificworks. My thoughts and opinions are my own and without bias or remuneration.
Overall rating: 4.6
Disclaimer for those this affects…this book contains sexual content and profanity. Even with that said, this storyline is hysterical! The humor very much could be offensive for some, but this is truly consistent for this skilled author. Harmony ( a repeat character from another book) discovers more about her origins complete with more family a witch could ever want or need. Meanwhile she loses something extremely precious to her and seeks to defy fate. Easily read in a couple hours, this novella is a slam dunk with all its magical challenges and craziness. All my reviews are always voluntarily written.
Ohh the critters that I find myself reading from this wonderful author always amazes me. You will find your self laughing out loud at the situations these characters get themselves into. Very well written and beyond amazing characters and story lines, cant wait to read more. I highly recommend this author and all her books
This story is laugh your pants of sexy with a side of drama mixed it. It is extremely well written and has amazing characters in it. It makes you wish it was longer and getting made into a movie. It is amazing list of support characters that just add to the mix. I loved Maxi and JB together. They have this banter that just blows your mind and have you laughing out loud. It is full of drama, mystery, humor, and romance. It is like getting your cake and your ice cream too. I adore Julia Mills books because they just brighten my day. If you love laughter and paranormal romances with a splash of mystery then you will love this one.
The Magic and Mayhem world is amazing. So I knew the Maidens of Mayhem would be as well. This isn’t the first book I have read with a flamingo shifter, but it was by far the most hysterical. Although it’s the first I read about a hound shifter. And some of the others. The characters introduced here are off the hook. The banter is so full of heart and humor. From the very first page there is ‘mayhem’. JB is a force that Maxine doesn’t know how to handle. Although they know what the Fates have decide for them, there is something larger that they will need to deal with first. Only then will they be free to explore what they have together. Ms. Mills has done it once again. A story you will not put down. Between the laughs, mystery, friendships and love, you find that you just want to fall deeper into this world. I am happily and voluntarily leaving this review.
I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest!
This was a great book !
What do you get when you throw a Flamingo psychiatrist with a Hound cop ?
You will need to read the book to find out.
Hilarious!
Loved the characters + the storytelling !
It has all the ingredients that you need for a great book!
Another absolutely hilarious read from this Author.
Maxi has to head back to LA due to the death of her father, which brings her face to face with none other than the sheriff JD who is her hound dog although she won’t admit it.
Livvie has trouble with a capital T so it’s the Flock of Bird Girls to the rescue or is that need rescuing? haha haha
Maidens of Mayhem has all the hallmarks of being a fun, exciting new series.
Maxine is a flamingo shifter who uses her psychiatric education on humans rather than her fellow shifters. But after the sudden death of her father, she has inherited…well an insane asylum is the best word LOL!
After being home for a short time she finds herself wrapped up in the mystery of who is stalking her best friend. Add in one sex on a stick hound dog shifter Sheriff and a mating she is trying to avoid and you have a wonderful fun read. With Maxine and her flock of friends (think the Pink Ladies from Grease!) on the hunt for mysteries, the town will never be the same!
Love Maxine and JB!! Such a hilarious story with tons of sass. Can’t wait for the next book in the stories. Ms Julia Mills has done it again such an amazing book!!
** spoiler alert ** Just like all of Julia Mills books, I loved it! I love how her women are strong, sassy, and dramatic. Both of the characters in this book go back to childhood, but I love how they butt heads and how when they accepted what they were, they didn’t hold back. I love how she was determined to find out who and why her friends were being hurt and harassed and wasn’t willing to take it lying down. Great funny read and definitely recommend reading any book this author rights!
What a hysterically fantabulous story Julia Mills has given us again. Maxine Monroe is a Psychiatrist and a Flamingo Shifter, her friends – Edna, a Bald Eagle Shifter – Coleen, a Crow Shifter – Monique, a Mockingbird Shifter and lastly, Maxine’s best friend Olivia a.k.a. Livvie, who is a Burrowing Owl Shifter (the last one in the US) and getting deathly threats from someone. They are all going to try to find out who is responsible. In comes the handsome & sexy Detective Jean St. Sabin (a.k.a. JB), a Hound Dog Shifter, who wants to do the investigation but agrees to let the ladies help. JB has been in love with Maxine for a long time and was just waiting for the right time to let her know. Hmm, what will Maxine think about it-she only remembers a skinny kid with thick glasses who used to pull her braids, not this handsome hunk!
The hijinks and chaos of these loveable and quirky characters is hilarious. Highly recommend this book and can’t wait to see what they will be up to next!!
