Publisher's summary

Ever since she discovered that she's pregnant, Elena Michaels has been on edge. After all, she's never heard of another living female werewolf, let alone one who's given birth. But thankfully, her expertise is needed to retrieve a stolen letter allegedly written by Jack the Ripper. As a distraction, the job seems simple enough---only the letter contains a portal to Victorian London's underworld, which Elena inadvertently triggers, unleashing a vicious killer and a pair of zombie thugs. Now Elena must find a way to seal the portal before the unwelcome visitors get what they're looking for---which, for some unknown reason, is Elena.

Featured Article: No Full Moon Needed—Here Are the 20 Best Werewolf Audiobooks to Listen to Right Now


Tired of listening to stories about humans? Consider the werewolf! Taking various forms over the course of centuries and mythologies, often as flesh-devourers, werewolves now commonly appear in fantasy and romance novels as shape-shifters. The shape-shifting element in werewolves' stories has almost humanized them, depicting the internal struggles we all face within ourselves, on some level or another.

Bad Guys Escaped Too Often

It really got old after a while & it reduced big bad scary werewolves to incompetents. I like Elena, Clay & company a lot, but Idk if I’ll continue the series. I’ve been reading KA’s Rockton series also & she does this same thing there too. It must be her thing & I don’t like that thing!

Narrators Matter

I love listening to series. The only thing that makes it trying is narrators changing or even staying the same when they should change. By this book it was clear, Aasne Vigesaa is Elena and even the best Clay. Nell Canning is Aunt Ruth, and Laural Merlington is Paige Winterbourne. She just sounds too "wholesome" to give me the feeling I get from Elena.

Other than that, the story is excellent. Love the wolves!!

a great listen

I almost didn't buy this book, because of the about the narrator. I'm happy to say, that I thought this narrator did pretty well. She didn't quite have clays southern accent, but every single character had a different voice, and she did the British accents really well. This is a very good story, I love clay and Elena so much, that it's great to visit them again. I have heard truly awful narrators before, and this narrator did a very good job. Please, don't listen to other people's awful reviews. It's really not that bad and I really enjoyed this book.

Great book, although the audio skips

The audio skipped quite a bit, but I think this had more to do with Audiobooks system.

Good story character voice off

Clay's voice was all wrong since he is supposed to be southern. Loved the story!!

Broken book 6

I loved this book very much. I love following the werewolves' on the adventure. The ending was the best part and pregnancy and the happy ending I got in the end. I loved the surprise in there as well. It was a great twist. I love the characters, Elena Michaels is a great one! So far this series has been pretty good for me!

Great story..bad narrator

The story is very good and well written. However, the narrator leaves something to be desired. Clayton doesn't sound southern at all. Jeremy sounds old and dull instead of intelligent but reserved. The 4 stars are for the wonderful story, sadly I would give the narrator a 2.

Another home run

Yet another book in the series that met all expectations and hopes. I keep waiting for one of these to hit the “been there done that” road but I once again found myself looking for different places to drive just to continue listening. The characters continue to make you care and at this point you feel as if your part of all these people’s lives.
