Stella Hunter
Someone is killing werewolves. At least, that's the way Vincent Van Gogh tells it when he shows up at Mark Abernathy's art gallery seeking protection. For gallery assistant and art history addict Hanna Harvey, meeting Van Gogh is a dream come true—until death follows the troubled artist to town and Hanna becomes the murderer's next target.
When Alpha Wereboss Mark Abernathy goes missing, a new wave of murders draws the attention of drool-worthy Detective James Morrison, further complicating Hanna's epic dating dilemma. Only absinthe-swilling bodyguard Toulouse Lautrec stands between Hanna and the malevolent murderer whose grudge runs deep and appears to be connected to the mystery of her bloodline.
Damning evidence convinces Morrison that saving Hanna's life requires ending Abernathy's, and she's forced to choose between protecting the man who holds the key to her past, or spilling her secrets to the detective who could promise her a future.
Contains mature themes.

Hmm. Hard to rate this book. So many things to love and yet so many things to hate. I’ll begin with a warning: most of the comedy is based on women, and particularly Hannah, as property. It’s open season for males to leer, grope, assault, claim and, of course, mansplain a woman’s worth as nothing more than a trophy wife or mate.
“I’ve got a four alarm stiffy- the general is reporting for duty!”
I’ll admit I found it funny, even as I cringed against the patriarchy and the misogyny. However, it went on and on and wore my enjoyment down each sexist joke at a time.
“If my life had a personal theme, it would be choosing the wrong shoes.”
It doesn’t help that Hannah is TSTL, in denial over her nature, focused on shoes or cheese, and constantly bumbling into danger, needing to be saved by others or dumb luck.
“The butt-rubber was sent flying into the cheese counter and landed ash first in the parmigiano reggiano. I sent a silent prayer for my fallen comrade; at least it wasn’t the brie.”
The formula was so rigid. Each book starts at the climax, then resets to two weeks earlier. Each book ends with a few answers before dropping a whopper teaser. This was two books in a row where there’s no actual sleuthing; instead the killer’s hand is forced when Hannah bumbles into the reveal. The cop Morrison shows up for romantic “tension.” And Mark Abernathy continues to be as cryptic as possible only because it’s necessary to stretch the will they-won’t they out (when we all know they will).
And yet, I enjoyed this the way I enjoyed the movie Overboard or Big Trouble in Little China, where you’ve just got to embrace the eyeroll, the ditzes, and the caveman comedy.
