This world is fun, and so easy to full in too, The characters are phenomenal. yet a sampler is not enough.

Release day cant come quick enough.

I have been a fan of Laurenston's fantastic shifters from almost day one. The honey badgers have their own kind of crazy and I am really excited about the release of "In a Badger Way". The excerpt was just a taste to "wet your whistle", mmm is that honey? The hype for this series is genuine, Laurenston has an uncanny way of giving us characters who are more than they seem and yet hysterically wrong, just wrong.

I can't wait to see the calm Giant Panda shifter vs. the neurotic Honey Badger shifter. Already, in this small excerpt, Chen is a bit baffled. Stevie comes to us with her own reasons to be paranoid and Shen is trained in all things security, but not all things Stevie. I really anticipate reading the rest of this book.

I loved this book!!! It was so funny. I love how Shelly Laurenston writes her books. The story is fantastic. The characters are always so much fun. I was in such a good mood after reading this book. What else can you ask for in a book?

I have only read a short excerpt for this book but what I did read left me wanting more now. I love Ms. Laurenston's badgers. I can't wait to read the complete book as soon as it comes out. Ms. Laurenston's sense of humor is wonderful and always makes reading her books a blast.

I received only an excerpt of IN A BADGER WAY and of course, as with all Shelly Laurenston books, I . WANT . MORE . Laurenston has the ability to write Laugh Out Loud humor combined with serious, strange and the completely outrageous...and I loved it all...

But in the end, you had me at Honey Badger!

I have pre-ordered my full copy March 26, 2019.

I loved the sneak peek of Shelly Laurenston’s newest Badger book. In a Badger Way is the story of Stevie and Shen Li, and I cannot wait to see all the interactions between them. I find Stevie to be delightfully neurotic and I can’t wait to catch up with some of my favorite characters from prior books, especially Kyle! I am eagerly awaiting the release of this one!

An excellent teaser to get the hype built for this book. Stevie and Chen’s story will be funny, as expected.

Five tentative stars

Have only read the prologue and first chapter and can't wait for the rest of the book to be released on March 26th. I'm already hooked. Um.... now is it March? Now?

This is the long awaited (okay, it hasn't even been a year, but it seems like a long time) sequel to Laurenston's Hot and Badgered. I have only had access to the prologue and first chapter, but so far it is going to be wonderful. I have no idea what is going on in the prologue. I'm sure we'll find out more when the book is published, but the first chapter nails Stevie, Kyle, and Shen. Can I say how sorry I already feel for Shen? We know Stevie and he are going to end up together and he is already confused and overwhelmed. I also have to say it is really weird to see Kyle actually caring about someone besides himself.

I can't wait for the full book. Laurenston is my go-to, feel-good author. Her books always crack me up.

What can I say....

I'm a huge fan of Laurenston and this extract was seriously not long enough (I think the whole book might just be enough!!!)

I was impatient for a new addition to the series before reading this (have literally just re-read the entire Pride series as well) but now I really cannot wait to hear the rest of Stevie's story

I have been waiting for Stevie's story since book one. As always, Laureston brings the goods with plenty of outrageous scenarios, a reluctant hero, a high strung heroine, and a plethora of family, friends, and enemies whose antics only serve to keep you in stitches as she builds a romance amongst the chaos of this world. Fans will love the effortless blending of various other series as Laurenston widens the arc while working her magic on various ongoing threads and subplots. Another winner from the Queen of paranormal mayhem.

I can’t not wait for this to be released! @Netgalley had a little teaser as an advanced readers copy for a review. Which I grabbed with both hands I adore Shelly Laurenston.

This instalment features Shen Li, a giant panda shifter and Stevie MacKilligan is the youngest of the three MacKilligan sisters—the one they protect.

I’m not sure how I’ll manage until the full copy is published in March 😫 it’s so good! Funny, quirky and action packed!

Im so mad because it was just a sample and I'm already hooked. That sample was totally awesome. I can't wait until I'm able to read the rest.

So upset this was only a snippet. It sounds great so far. I adore Stevie. It didnt have enough for Shen for me to have an opinion. I just wish it wasn't a teaser. I am sure it is going to be great.

I got a little sneak preview of this from Netgalley bc the first book in this series is one of my #Bestof2018. I cannot wait to read about Stevie and Shen - and all of their friends. Laurenston is amazing and funny - telling sweet, charming stories that brighten my mood. I’m stoked for the rest of this.

Net Galley had a preview of this one and I knew it was a bad idea to request it. Since reading it, I keep checking the release date hoping that it has moved up. It hasn't-still releasing in March. Which if you read the preview- you would know was torture.

As with most previews though, this one ended way too soon and now I just want/need the book. I have to know what goes on with Stevie and her sisters, especially since the psychotic Kyle is actually worried about Stevie. When has he ever been concerned about anyone but himself?

Shen is of course on security duty for Kyle and when he stops by to see Stevie- let just say she is in the middle of a panic attack. Watching him try to calm her down is hilarious.

I absolutely am dying for the finished product.

I adored the first book~ AH-DORED hahaha
So when I saw this on net galley... I had to immediately read it.

This picks up pretty much where book one leaves off and gives us also a tad more insight to Stevie and also Charlie. From the tiny teaser they've given us, Charlie seems like an awesome father to these amazing women and encourages them to kick butt and grab their fates by the balls.

Shen, I needed Shen to get a story and the fact that it's going to be with Stevie is going to make my day.

I loved book one but I think Shen and Stevie will steal the show. (Book 3 will be hard to beat this one I think haha)

As always, a Shelly Laurenston book is at the top of my Auto Purchase List every time one comes out. I was lucky enough to receive a sneak peek of In a Badger Way, the second book of the Honey Badger Chronicles, during the holidays from the publishers (Kensington Books) via NetGalley and I was only left wanting more of a very good thing. I went into my excerpt without reading the synopsis, gasp all you want, but that's me. I trust Shelly Laurenston to always provide me an entertaining read and she did not disappoint. In her newest addition to the Honey Badger Chronicles, Ms Laurenston pairs adorkable giant panda shifter Shen Li with the youngest MacKilligan sister, Stevie, who is a highly unstable anxiety-ridden honey badger hybrid shifter and promises to deliver yet another amazing story of love and hijinks aplenty. I, personally, have March 26th marked on my planner, both of my Google Calendars, and my wall calendar for In a Badger Way's release day. I can't wait to see what happens with Shen and Stevie!
I will be posting this short review in a 2019 Releases post next week on my blog (www.onceuponatimeireadabook.com)
