Blurb:
There are
certain expectations when you grow up the oldest girl in a family of eleven.
I'd always made a real effort to meet those demands and more. After all, I
couldn't ask for better parents than Ruth and Ed Thompson. They didn't have a
lot of money, but they made up for it in love and support. So, I was happy to
do what I could to make their lives a little easier. Which meant, I didn't go
out partying with my friends, I made good grades and graduated at the top of my
class. I would run my younger brothers and sisters around and do errands for
Mom and Dad. In other words, I never went through a rebellious phase, and I
always tried to behave in a logical and rational manner. That is, until three
days ago, when I decided to throw caution to the wind, for once, and act
impulsively.
But now that I've awakened next to a dead body
as the chill of spring rain seeps into my flesh, I am questioning every
decision I've made since the day after the full moon.
When a pack of werewolves move into her hometown of Peculiar,
Missouri, good girl Dakota Thompson finds bad-boy werewolf Cal Rivers
irresistible. The problem? She's a deer shifter. Who ever heard of a prey
animal falling for a predator? Good girls avoid bad boys. Right?
Cal Rivers wants to make a real go in the Ozarks shifter
community, but most folks are deeply suspicious of the werewolves--with one
exception. The beautiful doe shifter Dakota Thompson. Cal finds himself drawn
to the gorgeous and smart Dakota. In a mate kind of a way. But then he gets
into it with Dakota's overprotective Luke Dwyer, which doesn't make him any new
friends.
After a full moon, when everyone in town shifts and spends
the night in their animal forms, Dakota wakes up next to the dead, mutilated
body of her ex-boyfriend. The tense situation between the werewolves and the
town's shifters go from precarious to catastrophic as Cal becomes one of the
prime suspects in the murder. Together, Dakota and Cal work to find the real
murderer to prevent an all-out war between predators and prey. Unfortunately,
the killer isn't done yet...

My
review:
I loved this
story. I almost didn’t read it because the prologue put my hackles up but I’ve
read and enjoyed this author before so I figured I would give her a chance to
explain. This story deals with prejudice, love and murder and so much more told
with wit and humor and left me with a full heart.
