What a fun story! Listening along on Bent’s journey to self-discovery in her new role in a world not of her own creation was quite enjoyable. The dynamic between two different warring paranormal species brought me back to memories of Rick’s other works.

One thing that always resonates with me in a story is human connections. In this story, watching the relationship between Reva and Tammy (see what I did there?) shift as Bent learned of her true nature solidified my being “drawn in” to the book. This story also had a lot of little extras that made me laugh such as the garden gnomes, Bent’s clueless guy friend (this was me in high school, and likely now), and the fights between Bent and her brother. Additionally, I laughed quite a bit at the “domesticated me” comment and told my wife about it. She then proclaimed that is what she had done to me in our relationship.

Rachel did a fantastic job with the narration and I will be looking into other works she has performed. As a fan of Rick’s already, I will be on the lookout for the next book in the series. I can't wait to see what Rick has in store for Tammy.

I won a book by this author and I truly didn’t have any idea what I was going to pick, then I saw werewolf and thought ok I might like that. NO way I LOVED IT.

There isn’t a romance which is my thing but this book didn’t need it. I loved how Bent learns about herself and her family it was funny and witty.

The world building was straight and to the point it was perfect to suck you in. I want to know what’s going to happen! So I will be jumping on book 2 asap.

The narration is fantastic for this story and for Bent she is so entertaining.

Fun read. Loved Tamara and Riva.. Well written with good pacing. Werewolves vs witches. Looking forward to that war heating up!
