Coming at you by the end of summer!

In Beauty Is The Beast, Gretchen (werewolf) and her friends (a vampire and the goddess Persephone) are trying to blend in with the humans while also find who’s murdering hairdressers all over Maine.

In Pack Of Freaks, the fae are exposed and put on an international registry.

In Worlds War, 3 factions go to war over control of the earth (the old gods and their followers who want to rule over the humans, some humans and fae that want the fae to leave our world forever, and those who want to live together)

In Empress of Beasts, the war is over, the earth has changed, and Gretchen must become the being she was always meant to be.

... Read moreOkay, fellow bookworms, if you're anything like me and constantly on the hunt for your next urban fantasy obsession, you absolutely HAVE to check out the incredible worlds crafted by Jennifer Zamboni! I've been diving deep into her series, especially the buzz around 'Empress of Beasts,' and let me tell you, it's a game-changer. From what I've gathered, 'Empress of Beasts' sounds like the epic conclusion or a pivotal moment in a larger narrative, possibly the fourth book in a series. Think about it: a world where the lines between humans and mythological creatures are constantly blurring, and a character named Gretchen has to embrace her true destiny. We're talking werewolves, powerful goddesses like Persephone, and the intricate politics of fae society. The idea that the war is over, but the earth has fundamentally changed, just screams high stakes and incredible storytelling. It really makes you wonder what kind of BEASTS are truly AMONG US now! This isn't just a standalone story; it’s part of a rich tapestry. Before 'Empress of Beasts,' there are other fascinating tales like 'Beauty Is The Beast,' where our werewolf protagonist, Gretchen, and her supernatural friends are trying to blend in while solving a chilling mystery involving murdered hairdressers in Maine. How cool is that premise? And then 'Pack Of Freaks' introduces us to a world where the fae are exposed and put on an international registry – a brilliant concept that explores themes of identity and integration. The 'Worlds War' sounds like pure chaos and intrigue, with three factions battling for control of Earth itself. Jennifer Zamboni clearly isn't afraid to tackle massive, sprawling conflicts in her novels. What truly draws me in is how these books promise a seamless blend of supernatural elements with real-world settings. It's not just about magic; it's about characters grappling with their identities, making impossible choices, and fighting for what they believe in. If you love a good dose of action, a touch of romance, and a whole lot of mystery wrapped up in a compelling narrative, then these urban fantasy novels are definitely for you. The way the author weaves together these complex plots and diverse characters is just captivating. I'm already imagining the vivid scenes from PACK and *FREAKS*, and picturing the grand scale of the WORLDS at war before the rise of the *EMPRESS*. For anyone looking to dive into an exciting new author, or if you're specifically searching for more about Jennifer Zamboni's 'Empress' series, you're in for a treat. Her ability to create such immersive and dynamic storylines is truly remarkable. I highly recommend picking up her books and losing yourself in these incredible worlds. You won't regret it!
