About this book
Destiny was supposed to be simple for a future pack leader, but betrayal turned that promise into a nightmare. After the leader of a rival pack rejects her fated mate bond and orchestrates a brutal massacre of her loved ones, a young shifter is left with nothing but a desperate need for revenge. Forced into hiding and pushed to the brink of death, she is pulled from the icy depths by Ryker, a dangerous and brooding shifter who hides his own lethal secrets beneath a shroud of shadows.
This gripping paranormal romance pulls you into a high-stakes world where trust is a liability and survival is a gamble. As Ryker’s pack takes her in, she finds an unexpected sense of found family, even as she struggles to reconcile her fear of his untamed power with an undeniable, magnetic attraction. The chemistry between them is as volatile as the mystery surrounding her heritage, creating a tense, fast-paced narrative that refuses to let go.
Perfect for fans of dark romance and fated mates, this story is a rollercoaster of emotional stakes and thrilling danger. With morally gray characters, a touch-her-and-unalive intensity, and a cliffhanger that will leave you breathless, this is the addictive escape your bookshelf has been waiting for.

I thought it was a great little fast-paced book with murder mystery-esque vibes. An easy read coming home from the hospital and needing something to pull me in and get my mind off my sickness. The twists and tension were all great and I loved that it was an urban romantasy with wolf shifters. ) 7 people found this helpful

I read this book through Kindle Unlimited and enjoyed it well enough. But, I am going to be petty. The use of the word ‘rasped’ started to annoy me. 17 times in book one, 18 times in book two, and 21 times in book three. (Once I noticed it I had to download the other two books just to see if it was only a quirk in the first book) I’m not an author or an editor so I don’t even know if this is considered too much or perfectly acceptable. So, while the story was interesting, and enough so that I...
