Publisher's summary

Unknown to regular citizens, nightmarish supranormals ("supras") lurk in the dark underbelly of human civilization.

Code-named Malice, Hunter Mary Alice Nolan was genetically modified and rigorously trained to use her great strength, heightened senses, and killer instincts to track and eliminate supras who prey on the innocent. A loner by choice, her only real link to the human world is her close connection to her mother and sister - until the unthinkable happens...

Ruri Samson has been a werewolf for more than a century and is comfortably situated as the Beta of her peaceful pack. Until she is betrayed by the woman she loves and an evil outsider massacres her Alpha and his most loyal followers. Barely escaping with her life, Ruri is forced to tread the perilous path of a lone wolf while vowing vengeance against the usurper and his minions.

Although these two powerful women should rightfully despise each other, fate will soon compel them to join forces on a dangerous quest to avenge their loved ones - and will ignite a forbidden passion that neither of them ever imagined.

Great story, almost believable

There were some hard to believe gymnastics involved in making the lead character a loner. There are some reasons why some people are loners but none of these made any sense.

The author clearly wanted his character to be alone to increase the drama but could have put a little more effort into making her loner status believable.

No one I know who went through any sort of military training did so without forming strong ties to those they trained with.

Unlike other shifter stories

I absolutely loved this! It was unlike other shifter stories I have read when it comes to A/B dynamics and mate bonds. The story almost seemed like it could fit in well with the Buffyverse … and the it’s hard to not love Malice AND Rory. The author does a wonderful job bringing the reader into the thought process of the MCs and, as always, Lori Prince does a fantastic voice job. LP actually had my heart breaking with the way she played her voice in a few parts.

I’ve read this three times. It never gets old.

just listen

seriously. sure there were a few easily telegraphed plot points and one of the characters was a bit annoying but the story is great. I loved the characters, even the annoying one. Malice was a lot of fun even though she is supposed to be a harsh stock in the mud, I just loved her. Lori knocks another narration way out of the park with her portrayals and voices.
