An American Weredeer in Michigan by C.T. PhippsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
An en-deer-ing and deer-lightful tail.
An American Weredeer in Michigan is the second book in The Bright Falls Mysteries Series and follows I Was a Teenage Weredeer. Like many of C. T. Phipps’ books, it’s set in the United States of Monsters urban fantasy universe (which you can read more about on the author’s blog).
The big bad wolf has been defeated, but there’s no rest for Jane (the weredeer) and Emma (Jane’s now out-of-the-closet lesbian, werewolf best friend). While out for a hike, the two stumble on a murder pit full of infant’s bones and feel obligated to seek out whoever is responsible for the mass grave and bring them to justice. While on the trial of the apparent baby murder, Jane faces off against an evil cult leader, tries to sort out her relationships with Alex and Lucien, and continues to dish out non-stop deer puns.
All the Bright Falls Mysteries books have been fun, full of comedy (and deer puns), and have had surprisingly entertaining and well-written characters and plots. But it took me so long to start on the series and I kept passing it by every time I looked for a new book. I kept seeing I Was a Teenage Weredeer and then thinking to myself, “A weredeer? That’s just dumb, I don’t think I could ever get into that book.” Yet, here I am declaring Jane Doe the weredeer one of my favorite protagonists. So if you are reading this review and are still on the fence about the series, it’s time to go ahead and take the plunge.
Special thanks to C.T. Phipps, who provided me with this book at my request.
