The Honey Badgers are at it again in the New York Times bestselling and outstandingly witty, snarky, sexy, shape-shifting, world-building Honey Badger Chronicles. This time around, a family of clueless tiger shifter brothers have no idea how lucky they are to have caught the eye of three fierce honey badger females.

Nelle Zhao is a loner, born and bred. Her own company is plenty, and her thoughts are certainly way more interesting than the tedium of reality. But she’s also fiercely loyal—to her honey badger teammates and their mission, and now to the three gorgeous big tiger shifters known as the Malone brothers. Especially Keane, who doesn’t know how to accept a friendly paw. But Nelle excels at helping! And at ignoring other people’s irrational demands, such as doing it all alone. Keane, poor pretty kitty, doesn’t understand the kind of assistance a shit-starting honey badger like Nelle can truly offer . . .

Keane knows two things—he doesn’t like other people, and he is going to take down the de Medicis’ human trafficking ring. Alone, as in by himself. It’s safer that way. But the truth is the de Medicis are a seriously evil coalition of male lion shifters who are not only snatching innocent humans for fun and profit, but who also killed his father. And their combined power means that Keane’s going to have to let long-legged, jet-setting Nelle join the fight. And getting close to Nelle is suddenly bringing out his roar . . .

Shelly Laurenston

Shelly Laurenston is the kind of author who knows exactly how to make readers laugh out loud while keeping them on the edge of their seats. Known for her irreverent humor, wild characters, and fast-paced plots, Laurenston’s books are a thrilling blend of romance, fantasy, and a healthy dose of chaos. She may have traded her New York roots for the West Coast sunshine, but her writing has remained unapologetically bold and fiercely original.

Originally from Long Island, New York, Shelly now finds herself soaking in the warmth of California, where she’s come to appreciate healthy food, sunny days, and, perhaps most notably, the sight of guys not wearing shirts when they probably should be. When she’s not writing her latest steamy, action-packed novel, you can often find her sharing a home with her beloved pit bull—who has a habit of loving everyone into a coma.

Laurenston’s books are known for their unique blend of humor and mythology, with her Pride series and Call of Crows series offering readers a mix of strong-willed heroines and fearless men, all set in a world where shifters, supernatural creatures, and gods walk among us. Under her pseudonym, G.A. Aiken, Laurenston dives into the world of dragons and fierce warriors, creating high-stakes adventures in the Dragon Kin and Scarred Earth Saga series.

From her first book to her most recent release, Shelly has captivated fans with her distinct voice—one that blends laugh-out-loud humor with action, romance, and characters you just can't forget. Her books are full of heart, sharp wit, and stories that keep readers coming back for more, no matter how many dragons, bears, or Honey Badgers are involved.

When not weaving tales of the fantastical, Shelly Laurenston enjoys life with her rescue pit bull, a creature who may just have more personality than any of her characters—and that’s saying something. Whether it’s a dragon in her Dragon Kin series or a feisty shifter in her Pride books, Shelly’s characters bring their own brand of chaos to the page—and she wouldn’t have it any other way.

Honey Badger Chronicles

The Honey Badger Chronicles series by Shelly Laurenston is not your typical paranormal romance. It’s wild, outrageous, and full of characters who have no problem breaking the rules—because, quite frankly, they don’t care about them in the first place. In a world where shifters, gods, and supernatural creatures roam freely, the Honey Badger clan is notorious for their fearlessness, their wit, and their tendency to dive headfirst into chaos. If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if you took a group of unapologetically bold, fiercely loyal, and absolutely hilarious shifters and let them loose, the answer lies within this series.

Set against the backdrop of a world that blends humor, heart-pounding action, and paranormal intrigue, the Honey Badger Chronicles follows the misadventures of the badass Honey Badger shifters as they navigate everything from sibling rivalries to epic showdowns with enemies who have no idea what they’re up against. These shifters are quick-witted, fast-paced, and prone to throwing themselves into danger with a level of confidence that only a Honey Badger could muster.

What makes the Honey Badger Chronicles so irresistible is the powerful, hilarious women at the center of it all. Strong, sassy, and ready to take on anything that comes their way, the heroines of this series will have you laughing, cheering, and maybe even cringing at their boldness. And their love interests? Equally tough, equally wild, and utterly captivating in their own right. It’s the perfect mix of romance, humor, and high-stakes action that fans of Laurenston's work have come to expect—and it’s never boring.

Through every twist and turn, Honey Badger Chronicles creates a world that is brimming with magic, fierce battles, and characters you can’t help but love (even when they’re causing total havoc). If you’re looking for a series that mixes heart with chaos and romance with a hefty dose of snark, this is the one to dive into. Expect the unexpected, embrace the madness, and settle in for a ride you won’t soon forget.
