Publisher's Summary

Jacky Leon is a member of the strongest werecat family alive; a family that commands the loyalty of every werecat that walks the face of the earth. Her family is the definition of power, and none have dared challenge that for millennia. It’s not a legacy she’s comfortable with, but it’s the one she’s been given, and Jacky is resolved to do her best with her new responsibilities.

When rogue werecats begin to test Jacky’s territory, paranoia mounts as questions go unanswered and lives are potentially at stake. The greatest werecat family of all time is about learn a valuable lesson, and Jacky is going to have to suffer the most before it’s through with them.

Loyalty is worthless when it’s broken.

Awesome. I can’t wait for more

This book does the first two even better. The narration by Savannah Gilmore was outstanding. It boggles my mind how she can use so many voices and always spot on. This book is a wonderful escape into a mystical world right here at home. Thank you.

Best series I’ve read in a long time

More original. Very likable characters. I do not ever get bored listening and can’t wait for the next book in the series.

Another TSTL Heroine

So werecats, according to the author, have an awesome sense of smell. They can smell a cut gas line from a long ways off but can’t smell explosives in a house while inside it? Little things like that are making me crazy about this series. I’m done with it. Narrator is ridiculous with main and love interest. I gave 2 stars because it is an original idea.

Amazing!

Really really loving this series and looking forward to Book 4. Please hurry and come out!

I love this series!!!

I really enjoyed this book. It was so good. I love how much Jacky is growing & that ending makes me super excited for the next book. Narration was so great!

Excellent book!

I love this series! Great world building, relatable characters, and just a darn good story. The narrator makes the story come alive. I highly recommend this series.

A slow burn that won't stop drawing you in

Normally i would find a book where it takes this long for character development and world building to happen to be really annoying. However the stories within each book are compelling and interesting enough that i find myself oddly not minding the long wait for the romance or the deeper intrigues of the world. I'm not sure how the choosing of a narrator works, but however it happened i don't think there could be a more perfect match for a werecat loner than Suvannah Gilmore. She has a certain low growl to her voice that just screams don't ef with me. I dig it a lot. I love the interactions Jacky has with her family and hope to see them a lot more. I'm not sure if i like Jacky and Heath though, their dynamic seems a little off to me. Maybe i'm just sexist and am not used to the man taking the beta role, but it seems to me that Heath relies on Jacky far more than she does him. He usually helps her despite her wishes rather than because she wants him to. Seems like to me that would irk a guy's pride if he had to run away from trouble over and over again, because his girlfriend doesn't think he could handle it. Don't get me wrong, they are cute with their dancing around how they feel about one another, but for now the relationship doesn't feel very balanced. Possibly something they will have to work on later. The book itself was great, the only real problem i had at any point was the same problem i have with a lot of urban fantasy books. I don't really get the whole putting humanity on some kind of sacred pedestal thing. Why exactly is the ability to die of old age so coveted in these types of books? Why is having super powers seen as a tragedy? As a person with a disability listening to someone with super...everything whining about how they just want to be "normal" just feels insulting, exasperating, and bewildering at times. "Awww you have super senses that make it possible to perceive the world better than anyone else in the world. That's so horrible!!! i'm so glad i'm blind and have a brain that could kill me at any moment with out a special medical device drilled into my skull, because it means i'm human." LMAO Yeah totally relatable. Anyway besides that silly emo crap, which again is pretty common for urban fantasy, this book earned every one of the five stars i gave it.
