Publisher's summary

Nothing is ever what it seems-including me.

The Midwest Pack has three goals: Protect the pack. Protect the pack. And yeah, protect the pack.

I have my own goal: Live a simple life and hope no one ever discovers that the quiet young woman next door turns into a wolf.

All my efforts go up in flames when a vampire attack draws the attention of the Midwest Pack. The next thing I know, I'm staring down Ethan, a handsome and alluring alpha, as he demands to know what I am. Not who. What. The pack was warned that I'm not just a werewolf but a weapon-one that could be used against them.

A weapon? Me? I'd love to dismiss it as a case of mistaken identity, but I've become the supernaturals' Most Wanted overnight. The vampires have put a bounty on my head. A necromancer attempts to kill me in a room full of people. And a mysterious witch is watching me far too closely for comfort.

The only thing standing between me and certain death is the pack, but we're definitely not on the same page. I want to lie low, go back to my typical life, and live to fight another day, while their MO is "seek, confront, and destroy."

And depending on the answers we find, the enemy they destroy...might be me.

Critic reviews

"Character-driven... I enjoyed it... perfect for fans looking for a new urban fantasy series." (Novel Knight)

Very entertaining with great characters

Th author is real with a talented of developing characters that you really care about. Enjoyed immensely.

Underwhelming

I had high hopes for this book from the description and the fact that it was a werewolf book, but alas it feel short. I would have liked the action scenes to have been fleshed out more and the whiney brat who runs away all the time parts to have been put in the background rather than the forefront of the story. The underlying ideas had merit and I'm sure they are delved into deeper in the following books of the series but I have no desire to continue reading on.

Loved the book but not the person reading it

I loved the book but not the audible. Through the audible I was having a hard time understanding and following the book. When I read it myself I got more feel of the book. In the audible, where the excitement should be there was monotone.

Slow Read and Bad Edit

There are times where it sounds like the narrator has a bad cold or she is talking with the mic so close to her face her lips are on it, and all this can happen in a single sentence.

Thank goodness for the ability to speed up the play back because otherwise I would have forgotten the start of the sentence before reaching the end.

it sucked

The narrator sucked and I couldnt stand her voice. The story just wasn't good. I dont think it was worth the credit.

Great read

A good series, I couldn't wait to get to the next one. Before finishing the first, I bought all. The narrator was terrific. It really held my interest.

not for me

struggled to finish. not book for me but good story. to slow going for me

slow start, but exciting and intriguing by the end

I reallt enjoyed the book by the end . look forward to the next o6.

A story with many pieces

When you learn that a werewolf can become a trusted friend. Sometimes you question your life.

Impressive Debut

There are several reasons I was impressed with this book. I will list a few.
1. Jorjeana Marie's portrayal of Skylar brought to life her vulnerable state in very difficult circumstances. This allowed me to not get angry at the character when she behaved impulsively.
2. The world created by McKenzie Hunter is realistic and very well developed.
3. The supporting characters are just well developed and interesting as the main characters. I would like to know more about Winter, Joan and Steven. The entire cast is great.
4. The story has lots of action with several plot twists that make it difficult to stop listening.

I really enjoyed this book and I look forward to the next one.
