Top Ten Things I Love About Jeff Christopher by Chloe Neill


*sigh* Jeff.
The Wenches have been eagerly awaiting the Jeff Christopher and Fallon Keene novella, Howling For You. We've gone on a lot about how much we love Jeff (especially in the last couple of installments of Chicagoland Vampires!) 

So in honor of this much anticipated release, we thought we'd ask the maestro herself what she loves so much about our favorite shifter!

Click through to read what Chloe Neill said!




Jeff Christopher is one of my absolutely favorite characters, and I'm so glad I got to tell his story in the HOWLING FOR YOU novella, which hits e-readers on January 7 (today!).  Here are ten of my favorite things about Jeff :

 10. His floppy hair. Jeff has the kind of hair that you just want to push behind his ears or off his forehead for a kiss.

 9. His relationship with the Nymphs. The Nymphs see through Jeff's silly personality to the animal within. He's the strong, stable, smart man of their dreams.

 8. And on the other hand, his crush on Merit. Personally, I think Jeff's crush on Merit is absolutely adorable. She's the total package for him--pretty, funny, and smart. The fact that she can wield a katana with the best of them helps a lot.

 7. Jeff isn't afraid to be himself. Yes, he has his geekier moments. But those are the moments we love him the most. They show his true self, and the fact that he's not afraid to be exactly who he is.

 6. His gamer "achievements". Jeff is a master at Jakob's Quest, his preferred game of choice. And those mad skills are impressive.

 5. His comp skills. Jeff's tech skills aren't limited to games. He's quite the computer whiz, and can sneak in and out of classified sites with ease. But he's ethical enough to only use those skills for good, not evil.

 4. His intelligence. Jeff is absolutely brilliant, but he's never condescending.

 3. His sense of humor. Jeff is hilarious, always quick with a joke or witty comment.

 2. His loyalty. Jeff is one of the most loyal characters in the CV world. Once you're in, you're in for life.

 1. He's a full-size white tiger. Who wouldn't want to cuddle up to that?!

 Thanks so much for hanging out with me today, and I hope you have an opportunity to check out HOWLING FOR YOU!

 Oh, and did I mention the HOWLING download includes an exclusive preview of WILD THINGS, the 9th Chicagoland Vampires novel? You'll get the ENTIRE second chapter!

Yay!

A Tribute to The Fiery Cross

Or How I Learned to Stop, Smell the Pig Shite, and Fall in Love with the Fifth Book in Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander Series A young White Sow dreams of all the food she’ll be eating to grow into her role in this book As the wait for the new Outlander book and television series drags on (and oooooonnnnnnnnaaaarrrggghhh), many fans have been rereading the first seven books in the series. Fascinating online discussions abound as to the motivations of the characters, the nuances of meaning within various scenes, and future possibilities and foreshadowing. Amongst enthusiastic effusions about all things even remotely associated with our beloved series, I’ve seen one recurring subject of complaint. People like to pick on The Fiery Cross . “It’s too slow.” “It doesn’t have enough action.” “Where’s the mystery?” So during my recent reread, I set out to take a few notes about memorable moments. But I gave that up early on. There were far too many. Because the book was like a beautifu...

A SUPER Spoilery Discussion of Feversong by Karen Marie Moning by: Zee the Terrible and Barbara Bones By Olga. It's now been two weeks since we got our hot little hands on Feversong , the final book in the Mac & Barrons part of Karen Marie Moning's Fever series. It's almost all we can talk about in the Saucy Wenches hallways (which is really online, but you get the drift) and we have lots of thoughts and opinions so we aren't putting off our Super Spoilery Recap Extravaganza any longer!  Zee told you about how much she loved it in her Wench review, here , and it will surprise exactly no one that Barb did, too. Loved it to pieces. Thought it was pretty much perfect, exactly the kind of conclusion KMM has been promising us since she gave us Iced , leaving everyone precisely where they need to be. That said, we have lots and lots and LOTS of thoughts. So come with us through the jump where we're dishing all the dirt, in filthy, spoilery detail. We menti...

Dani Mega O'Malley: Superstar

By -

Giddy with anticipation for the release of Karen Marie Moning's Iced , a lot of the Wenches have been thinking about Dani "Mega" O'Malley, the young sidhe -seer we first met in Bloodfever , who is poised to step out of the shadows behind Mac and Rowena and take center stage. Though Moning has recently said the three books she is writing for Dani will continue the story we've been following in the Fever books, the POV will shift to reveal the next chapters through Dani's eyes. With our heads firmly buried in Shadowfever in a frenzied effort to finish our rereads before the new release, we Wenches have been wondering what's in store for Dani. But no one has wanted to stop reading long enough to write a proper tribute to our young heroine as she prepares to take the leap to leading lady. Though we all think she's pretty awesome and deserves a big ticker-tape parade to show our support. So a sneaky Wench tried the stealth approach and asked us...

Review: Annihilation (Book and Movie)

By -

When I read Annihilation last fall, I was intrigued, repulsed, mystified, enchanted, horrified, compelled, absorbed, and ultimately so unable to articulate what had happened that I didn’t attempt a review. But it has never stopped growing on me, new insights twining around in my brain. It’s insidious. Then the movie happened. I. Had. To. Go. I didn’t think anyone could film the book, and I was on Cloud 9 when I saw the abundance of rave critical reviews. It got compared to Apocalypse Now and 2001: A Space Odyssey ! It got called “stunning” and the “Best Sci-Fi Film in Years” that “ranks among great philosophical sci-fi”! And though there were many differences from the book, it sounded almost as batshitcrazybrilliant as the book!! Which means there are now two equally haunting versions of this story for me to wonder WTF happened. I might not have all the answers, but I’ve certainly enjoyed replaying scenes in my mind and pondering the possibilities. And I suspect that’s...
