Synopsis (Goodreads):

The world has evolved. Fairies exist and have the power to heal. Vampires are real and aren’t to be trusted. Wolves have revealed their ability to shift into human form.

Will Jaxon is both man and wolf. He is the Alpha of his community’s Wolf Force, the agency that provides security and protection for all mankind. In addition to his role as the head of his pack, Will has been working undercover to infiltrate an illegal drug organization that is trafficking women. When Will is coerced to take the lead in an abduction, he agrees in order to preserve his cover. But one look into the terrified, green eyes of the woman he attacks, leaves him powerless to continue.

As Rayne Daniels stares into the face of the man restraining her, she sees a shift, for a fraction of a second he changes and his true form is revealed. She realizes he is a wolf, a protector, and almost before she knows what is happening, he releases her. Rayne escapes physically, but emotionally she continues to be haunted, held prisoner by the trauma of that night.

When Will discovers that members of the organization are still looking for Rayne, his entire world is altered. Now, Will spends his days undercover and every other free moment keeping Rayne safe, because her survival has become critical to him in a way that he cannot explain.

Review:

I was gifted this book by the author in exchange for an honest review.

Alright folks, I have a lot of thoughts about this book. I was surprised by how much I liked it. The story follows two main characters: Rayne and Will. Rayne is a 25 year old who just opened up her own bookstore. Will is a wolf (yes that’s right, a wolf) who works undercover to reveal a drug operation that is kidnapping women for their workers. When Rayne is almost kidnapped, Will get thrust into her world and neither of them really know how to deal with it- or their feelings for each other.

Now I know what your thinking. Wolves who can shift into humans, a young woman falling in love with a wolf. There are also vampires in the book. It kinda seemed like Twilight to me. But it was so much better than Twilight and I was genuinely surprised by how much I was hooked by this book.

The tension between the characters and the whole back and forth they went through was a little tedious to me, and seemed to drag on a bit too long, but I still enjoyed it. And a personal thing I didn’t like was when the main character would apologize for having feelings for another character. I just thought it was weird, and that you shouldn’t have to apologize for how you feel. And Rayne kinda came off as a bit too weak in my opinion. But I understand how it fit into the whole figuring out how they felt about each other and the premise of the novel.

I really enjoyed the world that the author built, how the Wolves work in a Force with the humans to help fight crime. How Rayne got caught up in the wolf pack. I loved Autumn! She was a delightful character and I wouldn’t mind a sequel centred around her!

Thank you so much to the author for sending me this book! I really enjoyed it and definitely recommend it!

Happy reading bookworms!
