This one was my absolute favorite of the sleep series. It was so sweet, the spice was incredible, the body positivity, healed something and I didn’t even know I needed healed. I’m so sad it’s over.

I have not read any of the previous books in this series.  Even though characters from Sleet Kitten and Sleet Sugar are in this book, I know I can still read their books as nothing was really given away about them.

Sleet Banshee gives us Meghan and Sebastian's story.

Meghan...

I loved her.  She was so funny at times (I loved her Honey Badger) and when she bought the "adult toy" and called it SmAsh.  She has such a big heart though, especially when she feels guilty after Izzy got hurt while she was having sex with Sebastian for the first time.

And Sebastian...

Most of the time he was acting like every name that Meghan called him (jackhole, twatwaffle, douchebag), however their chemistry was still off the charts.

They did spend a good portion of the book trying to push each other away, claiming they don't want a relationship, when they obviously do and end up mostly as friends with benefits.

I loved the parts where Meghan is writing in her diary and signs off with XoxoX.  Definitely giving off Gossip Girl vibes.

I will go back and read the first two books, but I'm really looking forward to Sleet Princess.

Oh my gosh I love this story so much! I did a reread of the audiobook and it was absolutely FANTASTIC. I devoured it in one sitting. The narrators did a beautiful job bringing these characters to life.

Meghan has always been the feistiest out of all her friends, and is quite happy livcing life by herself as an independent woman. Until she meets Sebastian LeBlanc, the goalie of the Minnesota Sleet hockey team. There is an immediate sexual connection between the two but Meghan is fcusing on her friends getting their happy ever after to worry too much about hers, and when her friend gets hurt while she's distracted by Sebastian, she can't forgive herself.

This was fun and a bit more daring and out there in some ways than the other books as we are dealing with characters who both a little bit extra than other romantic couplings we have followed in this series. There is a definite chemistry between Meghan and Sebastian that is so palpable, it practically drips of the page and I didn't mind the nickname Banshee as it definitely suits Meghan a lot (I just don't think I'll ever be over how overused Kitten was in Sleet Kitten).

As in other books, this is fun and enjoyable for a quick read with a hot romance but the writing/editing in it isn't always the greatest. I do often find some parts are overwritten, characters over explain themselves or just talk too much at times in a way I feel identifies a self-published novel from a traditionally published one but once you know to expect some of these things, you can ignore them and focus on the story. I would have completely scrapped Meghan's diary entries as they feel they gave nothing to the story and could have just been usual POV chapters.

I did find the first act break up in this book a bit much and over dramatic from Meghan and there are times when there is miscommunication among several of the characters that could be easily solved. I also feel the 'don't want a relationship' is sometimes an easy thing to use in a romance as a blocker and I just never believed this from Sebastian as every single action of his contradicted his words so I would have liked to have seen a better obstacle in the way between these two and really, there wasn't really anything there - they were just being stubborn.

Looking forward to the final book in this series!
