I wonder whether anybody actually buys something with a blurb like that. Maybe so, but that's so over-the-top I wouldn't touch it with a 10-foot pole. But then, I feel like that for most blurbs. These days, I'm only buying off recommendations from people I know. And even then, I try to get something from a new author via Libby just to be on the safe side. Mind you, I'm noping out of a lot of books these days.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

The whole shifter/monster-fucking thing isn't my particular jam but I'm not going to judge anybody for enjoying bananapants unhinged escapism. These days, the farther a fictional premise is from reality the more I want to live there.
