Publisher's summary

I walk into the bar with my pack, and I scent her straight away.

She’s lying behind the counter with blood trailing from an injury to her head. My desire to protect her stuns me almost as much as her beauty.

But it’s the smell of her blood that stuns me the most—it’s something not quite human.

When she wakes up, her fear tells me all I need to know. She definitely thinks she’s mortal.

I choose to disagree.

I make my pack watch over her while she heals, and she’s surprised I want to protect her. It's obvious she hasn't had good experiences with shifters in the past, but I intend to show her I'm different.

I also need time to find out the truth about her, including why she's being hunted by our kind for reasons I’m yet to understand.

All I know is that whoever this woman really is, she’s special. And she's mine....

So far so good

I am 4 hours in and it’s a good story, I’m totally into it but at times its hard to follow because the narrators voice and tone never changes from character to character.

Pretty great listen

I absolutely LOVE the narrator in this!!! She did amazing with voice changes, kept a great pace, and all in all just great! The story itself is great! Some is predictable and some is too thrilling to stop listening. I recommend this book even if you're not really into werewolf/fantasy novels!

how immature both the MC were.

I lost interest and skipped around just to get to the ending. very average writing. Not awful. just average and not very exciting.

Too long, boring and a cliffhanger

This was so boring and had very little to make it worth listening to. I struggled to finish it and won’t get the next book even though it was a cliffhanger.

why nothing was done to stop Viola?

loved the book is there a 2nd book ? they ending dint set well though. otherwise I loved the book and the person who read it was great.

Loved this story

This is one of the better wolf stories I have read in a while. The story moves forward and there are a lot of twists. Very well written.

Where were the alphas?

21 hours of my life I’ll not get back. Hoping against all odds that this would get better but I’m still 2 1/2 hours from the end and I don’t know if I’ll make it. The dumb decisions are not those of any being that is an alpha or even just a strong person. Nico is the most whipped alpha from the start. And Maddy makes me sick. The self-preservation in the beginning to the self sacrifices toward the end are just too much. I need a Xanax to finish this one. Some people may like this dynamic but I don’t. Plus there are a lot of holes and not really any world or character building.
I’ve read other Roxie Ray books and liked them. This one, not at all.

It was an ok book for me

You can tell this book was written by more than one person. They needed a better editor to catch some of the mistakes in the storyline. One moment someone died from needing a heart transplant, but later said they died from cancer. Not really a big issue, just inconsistent. The plot was interesting and it had some good spicy scenes. Damsels in distress are not as appealing of a storyline for me, but others who like that type of plot may find this to be a good book. I almost DNF, but decided to push through. I won’t continue the series though. I do appreciate anyone willing to write a book, even when it is not the type of book for me. Thank you for sharing your creativity.

Draaaaags

I got 21 chapters in.... I really tried to enjoy it but the middle is heavy and long. I almost didn't finish. Nico was weak for an Alpha. it seemed like he was only an alpha on paper, but the reality left a lot to be desired.
just meh..... The story picked up towards the end and brought me back in.

main characters made too many mistakes hard to root for.

This book was interesting enough to keep going but the characters were to slow and dumb for me. so many times that we knew what was happening and the main characters were like five steps behind. 21 hours where story line was dragged out only to have a cliffhanger. I am nit reading the sequel.
