Kate Douglas had me hooked the first time I read [b:Wolf Tales|101483|Wolf Tales (Wolf Tales #1)|Kate Douglas|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1388182965s/101483.jpg|97848], to be honest, and I rarely dislike any of her work. I liked this one especially because it has a realistically strong heroine who happens to be a gorgeous women of color, specifically an African-American heroine. I love that Douglas, who is a Caucasian U.S. author, doesn't feel the need to restrict her heroes and heroines to one skin color. These novels have a lot of fun paranormal elements and a fast pace that makes them exciting, but the main event is still the love story. And Ginny and Alton make a great couple. They're both stubborn, he's a little arrogant, and they aggravate each other just enough to build the sexual tension. If this were a movie, I would cast Lee Pace to play him - we know he looks great as a stately blond because we've seen him in [b:The Hobbit|5907|The Hobbit (Middle-Earth Universe)|J.R.R. Tolkien|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1372847500s/5907.jpg|1540236] - and Rutina Wesley to play Ginny.

I purchased this book with my own funds solely for my enjoyment and was not obligated in any way to review it.
