This is the fifteenth book in the New Species series. It is advisable to read the books in order, to get the most enjoyment from the series.
Working together has forged a strong friendship between Melinda York and Mary Muller. So much so, they’re more like sisters.
When two men burst into their diner with murder on their minds, Mel doesn’t hesitate to act. She’ll do anything to protect her friend, as well as their New Species customers . . . especially the one she’s been crushing on for months.
A single act of bravery sparks a series of events that result in Snow getting to know the waitress he’s been obsessively thinking about. He just wants to keep Mel safe. And convince her he’s the male for her.
Mary is the brunt of jokes because of her extreme fear of animals. Phobias aren’t funny. Is she the only one who understands that?
When Mel’s actions link them both to New Species, she’d like to hide from those scary men with fangs. That would make her a crappy best friend, though. She’ll try to be brave . . . right up until the moment she comes face to face with a lion man named Lash. He’ll make her confront her fears in the most unexpected ways possible.
Also in this series: Valiant, Brawn, Tiger, Obsidian, Shadow, Moon

Best Friends is book fifteen in the New Species series by Laurann Dohner.
We get two stories in one. I’m not really a fan of this type of format. I like it better when we get one full story in the series, but I did enjoy both stories in the novel.
The New Species series is a Spicy Hawt read.
We’re back at Reservation and get to see some familiar faces. The story features Melinda and Mary, two best friends who work at a diner in the city by Reservation.
The first story was delightful. Snow and Mel are cute together. Mel has a fun personality and Snow is protective, intelligent and caring. I would have loved more. The second story features Mary and Lash. Mary has a fear of animals and Lash was big on “mine, mine, mine”.
Overall, Best Friends was an agreeable read. I’ve enjoyed the New Species series and plan to continue reading.
Rated: 3.5 Stars
