Catch a Tiger by the Tail Blog Tour Review

Hello all! Thank you for joining me on the second stop of the Catch a Tiger by the Tail blog tour, celebrating the release of book 6 in the THIRDS series out February 5th!

Music features heavily in the THIRDS series, whether through Dex’s obsession with 80s music, karaoke night at Dekatria, or a tender scene between characters. All of the THIRDS books have playlists which I listened to while I was writing and represent a good deal of what’s happening in the book. Catch a Tiger by the Tail is no different. Although Calvin and Ethan aren’t as enthusiastic about 80s music as Dex, they still very much enjoy listening to a few tunes. They’re more into Alternative, R&B, and Rock. Here’s the Catch a Tiger by the Tail Playlist:

This Kids Not Alright – AWOLNATION
Colorblind – Counting Crows
Sweet Dreams – Beyoncé
My Tiger My Heart – The Boy Least Likely To
Casualty of Love – Jessie J
I’m Gonna Do My Thing – Royal Deluxe
Make You Feel my Love – Adele
Shiver Shiver – Walk the Moon
Love Me Harder – Ariana Grande, The Weekend
Stand by Me – Ben E. King
Renegades – X Ambassadors

All my THIRDS playlists can be found on Spotify here. You can also find the playlists on THIRDSHQ.

Calvin Summers and Ethan Hobbs have been best friends since childhood, but somewhere along the line, their friendship evolved into something more. With the Therian Youth Center bombing, Calvin realizes just how short life can be and no longer keeps his feelings for his best friend a secret. Unfortunately, change is difficult for Ethan; most days he does well to deal with his Selective Mutism and Social Anxiety. Calvin’s confession adds a new struggle for Ethan, one he fears might cost him the friendship that’s been his whole world for as long as he can remember.

As partners and Defense Agents at the THIRDS, being on Destructive Delta is tough at the best of times, but between call-outs and life-threatening situations, Calvin and Ethan not only face traversing the challenges of their job, but also working toward a future as more than friends.

REVIEW

Catch a Tiger by the Tail by Charlie Cochet

4.5 stars

I've loved every book in the THIRDS series including this one.

The main couple in Catch a Tiger by the Tail is Calvin and Ethan. They have been best friends since they were children. I adore best friends to lovers stories, such deep and layered love. C&E aren't just best friends. They grew up almost like family. Even their mothers became best friends. First Ethan gave me the feels when I saw inside his head. Expressing himself is sometimes such a burden, but Cal's faith in him gives him courage. He wants so much to be strong in return. Then, I saw the real Cal. He has always been the strong one for everyone. It's tough to pick who I love more.

If you're missing the other guys, don't worry. The whole gang is very present in this installment. The heart and humor floating in the air when the team is together are joy overload for me. I can't get enough of their interactions. Romances, friendships and family relationships get those emotions flowing.

Of course, THIRDS has drama to manage in the outside world also. There's still something going on in the overall series, a big unknown with pieces in each book. Several instances of citizen unrest fall on the shoulders of the gang as well.

One of my favorite scenes is the Felids Gone Wild bit while they're moving. It ticked me so much. The sex scenes are super yummy, hot and sweet. And that ending! I can't wait for the next installment.
