There is suspense, drama, danger,a villain closer than they realize, Twists, turns, and romance. I want to read the next book.

Beautiful & hot love story with lots of drama.
Oh my word I loved this & only stopped reading whilst I did the school run. The immediate chemistry between Lori & Devan was off the charts & only got hotter. I also loved it when Juniper hugged him calling him her teddy bears name thinking he’d come to life & that she was not scared of him. Although it was grim with the Werewolf deaths but it was still a sweet love story.

Sheriff Kirby is the only one who knows Daven is a bear shifter, so he asked him to come to a cabin with him and search again for a missing woman, Karen Tanner, who disappeared 4 days ago. Daven found a shredded bra under the bed, obviously not ripped like that by a human. Karen Tanner is the eleventh missing person in four months, all disappearing at night from their homes. Although Daven said a werewolf had been there, he doubted it had anything to do with the disappearance since he would have expected lots of blood and damage. The two of them check the surrounding woods, then head home for some sleep. But as Daven drives into the parking lot of Ranger Station Alpha where he works, he notices a beat up little car with suitcases and a duffle labelled “Hello Kitty”. A lost tourist? Just what he needs at the end of a long day.
As he walks in, his bear — who has been continuously sleeping for a long time now, giving up on finding its fated mate — suddenly growls and thrashes around! His assistant, Bobby, is looking at him like he’s gone insane. He nervously tells him Lori Faun is waiting for him in the lounge. Daven tells Bobby to go home – he can’t tolerate another male being near this woman who may be his mate! He gets Lori settled upstairs in a guest room, but he can’t get her off his mind. She is also thinking about him. She will be teaching at the local elementary school and has rented a room above the garage from Arthur Shelton, but he hadn’t answered his phone and she didn’t have enough gas to drive there. So Daven will be taking her to Arthur’s the next morning.
Arthur’s back door is hanging off the hinges. Lori sees a child in the window and dashes inside with Daven right next to her. He finds claw marks on the floor and an odd smell. Daven scents her in a small crawl space in a closet and she runs out screaming. Lori, given her name by Daven, holds her and quiets her. Then they call the Sheriff. What is going on in the town? Did Arthur also get kidnapped? What will this mean for Lori?
This was a good story with great characters and a mystery to solve! Will Lori and Daven find time to fall in love with people constantly disappearing? Grab your copy and see if they can solve the mystery before someone else gets hurt or disappears!
