About this book
Life as a werewolf Alpha is rarely as smooth as a wedge of triple crème brie, especially when you are juggling high-maintenance boar shifters and a burgeoning pack of aggressive local Furries. For Hanna Harvey, the chaos of her new role is only compounded by the growing distance from her mate, Mark Abernathy. Just as she tries to bridge the emotional divide, a surprise birthday celebration spirals into a full-blown cryptid catastrophe, forcing Hanna to flee for her life.
To survive the encroaching darkness, Hanna is thrust into an uneasy alliance with her ex-boyfriend, James Morrison. This second-chance encounter with the rugged, freelance paranormal investigator brings old sparks flying even as they face a lethal enemy from her past. As a powerful threat closes in, the lines between past and present blur, turning this urban fantasy into a high-stakes race against time.
Fans of witty heroines and unconventional shifter lore will adore this thrilling installment. With its sharp blend of enemies-to-lovers tension and pulse-pounding mystery, this series continues to push boundaries within the paranormal romance genre. Hanna’s journey is messy, hilarious, and dangerously addictive, making it the perfect escape for anyone craving a fresh, unpredictable take on the supernatural world.

Listening to your books and getting wrapped up in them has made reading this last book even more excited, it’s kept me up w not knowing what would happen next. This book has kept me totally guessing since I started it. I’ve listened to the other books and I’ve been so invested in this series and the characters in it. I’ve also been very, very excited bout the sexual tension between Abernathy and Morrison that the sexual tension yo in this book is amazing!! ) One person found this helpful

I read this entire series in a week and it was quite a ride! I enjoyed Mark and Hanna's back and forth in the early books and was glad for the choice she made to be with him. I enjoyed the history of her many lives, and that her mother was so cool about all of the 'creatures' she met. I loved Morrison's character. I loved the art studio and all of the miscellaneous characters. What a great, imaginative writer she is! However, as others have mentioned, the first books had almost no errors but...

I wanted more, and I got it. I wasn't ready and don't think I ever will be ready to let this world go. I love Hanna's crazy, from insatiable appetite to her one-sided conversations with her cats. But the one thing she will never lack is a world of good people willing to fight with her to the end, and she's definitely going to need it with what's coming for her. Hold on to your seats it's going to be a bumpy ride with twists you never saw coming. ) 2 people found this helpful

Spoiler warning**** I have never read a book series where I felt the romantic coupling was wrong, but I was heartbroken through this whole series. I am still convinced Morrison is the better choice; he was written in such an endearing way, and maybe that’s why, in the end, the author chose to wrap him up in a complicated bow and attached him to Hanna and Abernathy. I was shocked by the turn of events, and not completely upset about the way the author chose to wrap the story, yet I think if you...

OK, so I liked this one a little less than some of the other others in the series but with that being said, it was still pretty damn good. I will say I’m a little bit shocked with the way things turned out by the end. Don’t get me wrong I am a big fan of why does it need to be a love triangle when it can be why choose!!! however I just wasn’t expecting it. Like the others in the series this was insanely funny but the constant oh my God what in the world is happening did get a tiny bit annoying....
