Jennifer Adams, best friend to Jacque Pierce and Sally Morgan, spicy, out spoken, a little crazy and human…or so she thought. Jen has just found out that human DNA is not the only thing that resides in her veins, she happens to share that little pesky werewolf gene, although it isn’t more than just a drop. Now that she and her friends are living in Romania with Fane’s pack, she is also oh so … conveniently stuck with the object of her affection, the fur ball Decebel. Drawn to each other by something they don’t understand Jen finds herself frustrated by the lack of mating signs between her and said fur ball. Not only is she dealing with that not so un-frustrating problem, she now has been informed that because of that little drop of werewolf blood in her she is now required to attended a multi-pack gathering for un-mated wolves. This type of gathering hasn’t taken place in over a century but with a shortage of females among the werewolf population the males are getting worried they won’t ever find their true mates. Meanwhile Decebel struggles with the emotions he is feeling towards Jen. He tries to keep his distance but there is just something about the mouthy blonde that keeps him coming back for more of her verbal abuse that he just can’t seem to get enough of…go figure.

In Just One Drop there is so much more going on with the pack and with the Grey Wolves as a whole. There is an Alpha who from what I can determine is not mated and probably certifiable with delusions of grandeur wanting to take over the world and the only thing, in his mind, standing in his way is Vasile and his pack. Thad’s goal seems to be to create as much distraction and diversion as possible with in Vasile’s pack that he doesn’t see the threat until it is too late. I can honestly say I really didn’t like him at all. I think the thing that surprised me the most was the traitor in Vasile’s pack, I thought I knew who this traitor was but when she was exposed I was honestly surprised, I didn’t see that coming.
Jen and Decebel’s being mates was already a forgone conclusion by the end of the second book but it comes into focus in Just One Drop as we watch them fight the attraction to each other since they are sure they can never be together because of the lack of any indicators proving they are mates. It doesn’t help that other wolves are using Jen and her antics to antagonize her Decebel. LMAO I loved the plan Jen hatches for the guys that made a movie night out of the video they took. I honestly have to say it reminded me of the plan my oldest daughter and her friends hatched to get even with the 2 boys that had harassed them for 2 years. They went through proper channels and nothing was done so the girls decided to make up wedding invitations saying the boys were getting married and taped them to almost every locker at the school. When I got to the school and listen to them tell me why my daughter (the ring leader in this) was being suspended, I told the Assistant Principal at the time that if she had done her job in the first place and protected the girls from the boys, my daughter and her friends would not have had to resort their actions and there for my daughter would not be punished at home for it.
After reading Just One Drop which is book 3 in The Grey Wolves series I am convinced that Quinn Loftis maybe as awesome a writer as Laurann Dohner, who has also created an amazing world that could almost be real. If I were to compare the two authors I would be hard pressed because both do seem to pay very close attention to the details of their stories from book to book. Thankfully I am not comparing the two, because I can’t because one is a young adult writer and the other is an adult writer with similar genres but different styles both of which appeal to me.
Finally the rating, I want to give Just One Drop five-stars but it has enough edits to drop the rating by one star so a four-star rating is what I am giving this amazing book with it’s amazing world.

Jen had a lot of excitement in Blood Rites, not only did she learn that she was going to go to Romania, but she also learned that her blood was special. She literally had just one drop of werewolf blood in her. This meant that she was subject to everything that the other werewolves were. She now had an alpha, but this also meant that there was a possibility she could have a mate. As much as Jen hated to admit it, she already knew who she wanted her mate to be, the bossy furball Decebel.
If you loved Jen and Decebel in Blood Rites, you will love them even more in Just One Drop!! Both of them know what they want and are frustrated by the lack of signs to prove their feelings right. The one thing that is for sure about their relationship though, is that Decebel is very protective of Jen and especially does not want her going to what she has so eloquently referred to as “Mate Fest.”
“Mate Fest” is basically just a huge singles mixer for unmated werewolves, and since Jen has a drop of werewolf DNA, that means she is required to attend. This means that unmated males will believe that she is up for grabs, which definitely does not sit well with Decebel. As you can imagine, Jen gets herself into trouble…..a lot, much to the dismay of Decebel.
In addition to the drama going on between Decebel and Jen, there is also a bit of espionage going on. Werewolves really are power hungry, there is no denying that now!
The words spoken between Jen and the furball are once again pretty perfect. Loftis has certainly outdone herself this time!! Jen has actually became my favorite character (sorry Jacque!)!! I love how Jen always has a response, be it good or bad. Decebel certainly has his hands full with her! I can’t wait to see what’s in store next for Jacque, Jen, and Sally, I mean those three girls do seem to attract a lot of trouble…
This whole series had me scrambling for the next page, book after wonderful book! I loved them!
I truly can’t say enough about this book/series, it’s amazing. It’s so full of passion, carefully weaved plots, true love, friendship’s that are full of love, trust and respect. I can’t get enough of these books, the stories intrigue me, the relationships so full of love and absolutely beautiful, as are the nice big hunky male werewolves and the women that love them. I highly recommend this series. It’s full of passion, however not sex, nor a ton of swearing. In my opinion these books are fine for teenagers. So far anyways.
This is book 3 in The Grey Wolves series and should be read in order to fully enjoy the series. This book is about Jen and she will have you laughing the whole story. I love her personality. We also get to see more Decebel and learn more about him. Really enjoyed the book and looking forward to reading the next book.
I love this series!!! it’s super funny and a very good page turner
I have enjoyed this series. Some of the characters are a bit irreverent about intimacy, but there is no graphic description which I like, and the characters do have a personal moral code. It is a relatively safe place to ready teen fantasy.
Awesome series! Must Read!
