Recent read: Matchmaker’s Match by Willa Okati

This book–or really, it’s a short story, but it’s published by an epublisher as a single title so it counts as a book–is a lot of fun. It’s the beginning of a series of interrelated novels that Changeling Press, the epublisher of which I referred, released in February, the premise behind which is a website, www.paranormalmatessociety.com, where people of paranormal persuasions can go find love. The website was designed by Satan, or Scratch, as he prefers to call himself, as a means to cause more torment in the supernatural community. But there's a silent, determined angel in pursuit of him, and the Norse god Loki is also out to make Scratch's life interesting.

The book is short, and it's an erotic romance, so things go along about the way you'd expect them to. The sex didn't particularly do it for me, because I've never really understood the turn on for straight women to two or more guys getting it on, which is a whole other subject for discussion. But the sex in this book felt real. There was no feminization of any of the guys involved as so often seems to happen in some of the fanfic I read.

But what was a lot better than the sex for me was how damn funny this book was. I'm not at all familliar with Ms. Okati's other work, and a Google search turns up a website she's obviously reenovating, but I love me some humor, and this book is worth reading just for the fact that it's so damn funny.

It's not terribly pricey, and it's a good story. B+ for this one.

ETA: I'm neatening my book reviews so they're more easily searchable and going back and assigning letter grades where I can.
