Gardens & Ghosts

The perfect ending to a completely bonkers, highly entertaining dino-shifter series. We finally get a romance for RELIC leader Montana, and it's hilarious and surprisingly moving. The usual “let's liberate a priceless fossil from the bad guys” heist has deep personal relevance this time, especially for the two mortal humans in the crew and my favorite shifter/goofball Dalton. I read the series' first book, [b:Smash & Grab 54500501 Smash & Grab (RELIC #1) Maz Maddox https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1594672581l/54500501.SY75.jpg 85020410], on U.S. Election Night 2020 and it saved my sanity. Three years later, I'm in the midst of house hunting/selling stress, and this finale afforded me a few hours of blessed respite. Bless you Maz Maddox, for creating the perfect escape from reality.
