Venomous as a Snake (Society of Shifters) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 400 ratings

What’s worse than being a member of the notorious Snake Eyes gang?

Funny you should ask… I’ll tell you.

It’s being forcefully engaged to the boss’s delusional son.

Listen. In my experience, birds are insane… Those uncaged idiots manage to be both the predator and the prey at the same time. This one bird in particular doesn’t seem to comprehend that he’s not a snake.

But it’s okay. I’m armed and venomous.

While hunting for my lost mate, the aforementioned idiot keeps sending his minions to nab me… Until I finally stop hissing around and strike back.

New town. New house. New bodies to hide. You know the deal, right? I can’t bury them all beneath my bushes like an improper lady.

That’s where my problems begin.

They certainly don’t end when the roguish neighbors catch my scent from the other side of the privacy fence.

And they definitely get worse when Worms-for-Brains invites himself into my house while my territorial mates are here.

Now, I dream of holding the safety pin of a grenade between my fangs while it rains white feathers… while also being seduced into my happily-ever-after by several alluring snake charmers.

It’s totally achievable.

Note: This is a dark and funny paranormal HFN standalone in the shared world, Society of Shifters. Content includes three-to-five fated mates, poorly timed humor, a charmed cobra, a pet snake named Carol, and a Pimp and a Hooker who run amuck… but it’s not what you’re thinking. Maybe.
You can enjoy this book independently.

She has a flair for misdirection, keeping her readers guessing until the end. Within the complex worlds she builds, her stories feature epic battles, murders, and graying the lines of morality.

    The ‘Society of Shifters’ series as a whole is engaging and fantastic as multi-author quick reads. MF Adele’s version of romcom is a wonderful balance of sweet and smart, with a sprinkle of romance among the action sequences to give extra dimension to the characters. The plot mainly wraps up in this book, but there are teases here and there of potential future relationships and backstory tidbits that hopefully result in at least one more book if not a whole series exploring our venomous and now newly-freed FMC and her family and mates. Reading the intro and abstract may give readers pause, thinking something is wrong with this book, but unless you cannot read violence and slight gore, this story is loads of fun, very escapist and clever, with characters who need more on-page time with their personal stories and quirks in a rapidly growing storyverse. So glad I read about this king cobra and her maybe-harem, and I will keep an eye out for more!!

    This is the third book in the Society of Shifters series, a shared world of standalone stories. The world building and characters are fantastic. I loved Kody and her men. There is action and humor. I loved Kody's pets and how they had a lot of personality too. I could see more form this group of characters and I would definitely read any other books about them.

    The first chapter had me a little bit confused, but everything got explained and wonderfully played out. This was a fun read about Kody the cobra who just wants her mates and her freedom from a psycho bird. The characters were excellent, especially the pets. Have to say, the crazy assassin type fmcs are one of my favs and MF Adele is the queen of creating them. I love how sneaky and conniving Kody is, and that her men know her well enough to know she can take care of her self AND everyone else. Love it! Now I just need the next book because that ending was a tease. I need to see redemption for Forrest and collins!!

    This was my least favorite of the series so far but was mildly entertaining. The novels are not for everyone but provide a short, unique shifter plot to escape in. With that in mind, I will probably try another just for the change in material.

    I blew through Venomous as a Snake in one sitting. I was completely hooked on Kody as a whole. She's a FMC that knows exactly what she wants and is determined to get it. The background story is well fleshed out and makes me feel for Kody and her mates. There's some good angst and steam, enough action to keep me interested, and the HEA these characters deserve!

    So, I snagged this book when it was part of the advent calender for Christmas. I just finished it and I did enjoy it. I love FMCs like Kody. The blurb really caught my attention and I have not read any of the others in this series. They just didn't catch my attention. So, I gave this one a try... The blurb does say that this can be enjoyed as a standalone but I felt like I was missing pieces of the story when I started it. I'm not sure if the missing pieces are in the other 2 books before this one, but I'm not overcome with wanting to find out. I did enjoy this story overall. There is like no spice, 3 guys with a potential 2 more in this HFN ending. Overall is was a good storyline and I loved the banter.

    I really need and want the second book of Venomous as a Snake. Hope it comes out soon. Loved the characters.
  • Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2023
    If you like a fast action packed read, this book is for you. I absolutely loved this book! Kody is maybe a little unhinged but totally reasonable considering she has a ex with more than a few worms for brains. Maybe one or two of her men might be a little deranged but totally matches her crazy. This is totally worth the read. It’s definitely got the right amount of spice and plenty of humor.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it 🤩
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 31, 2022
    Fun, funny and with just enough violence to hook you, Venomous as a Snake was exactly what I needed.

    We follow Kody while she’s looking for one her missing mate and trying to avoid her fiancé… Full of laughter and unexpected situations, I really enjoyed this story.

    Kody was fun and likable - she was fighting so hard for her loved ones. And the guys were so supportive and loving. I liked that they trusted each other so much. They were just here for Kody in whichever way she needed. They were pretty swoon-y and worthy of a book boyfriend status.

    I enjoyed the story, the plot, the characters…everything really and I read the book in one setting. The only disappointment I feel is that it wasn’t longer. I really want more of those characters, pretty please 🥺

    I really enjoyed all the main characters in this but i desperately need more from them!! I also loved the pets!!! They all had so much personality and completely stole every scene they were in, I love the concept of shifters still having pets and those pets having vital roles!

    Another five-star read in this amazing multiple author universe.
    I really love that all the shifters are different species.
    I loved Kody so much she is bad@$$.
    All her guys give her the love and support she needs. They may have all made me swoon throughout the book.
    I read this book in one go , and i couldn't put it down.
    I would definitely recommend this book and universe.

    I really enjoyed this book,

    Kody is fierce, strong and know exactlly who she is and what she wants.

    Drew and Ali are strong, supportive and know exactlly when to let Kody handle things herself. Walker is a bit of a jerk, and with two more potential mates i can't wait to see where this story goes.
