They say a mother will do anything for her child . . . I’m living proof
This nightmare began when I got the call every parent dreads. My daughter, Jenna, was missing from her college campus. Of course, my mind went to the worst place. After all, my late husband was a powerful senator. Was this some political payback?
I call in a favor and soon I’m partnered with an FBI sex trafficking agent. He tells me local girls have been disappearing for some time now, and he finally has a lead. But what we find at that abandoned warehouse is something out of a horror movie.
Werewolves! Two rival packs, their alphas fighting, winner take all––the pack and the trafficked girls. The werewolves must replenish their breeders, recently decimated by a virus that killed only the females.
But Jenna’s been keeping a secret, which only makes two of us. Though I should be angry, I know the lies I’ve told play a huge role in why we’re here. I’ll do anything to make it right. No way is my girl going to become a sacrificial mate for the greater good––even if she is the ‘chosen one.’ So, I do what any mother would do, I take her place, offering myself to Gideon, the winning alpha, as his mate.
Gideon’s goal is to live in harmony with the human world, but there are others who exist for the power, for the violence, and they don’t plan to let peace prevail.
There’s a civil werewolf war brewing and I am right in the middle of it.
From the voice of New York Times bestselling author Lori Handeland, a new volume in her Nightcreature world, complete with the humor, depth of characterization and fast-paced plot lines she is known for while showcasing the author’s incredible range.
My Thoughts
"Promise me nothing will ever keep us apart. Nothing. Ever."
Holy cheese whiz on a cracker 😳 No flipping way!!!
One of the biggest OMG, I never saw that coming twists I've ever read And let me just say if that moment had played out like "mr. I'm a horse's backside" wanted ...ewwwww
This was my reaction at about a little over a third through the book and to say I was highly invested in the characters would be an understatement
What's it about?
Her daughter goes missing from college and she is determined to find her, even if it means entering the world of the Nightcreatures, a race of vampires and werewolves who live in secret among humans.
About all I can say without spoiling it - I am serious, and be careful reading reviews little things will ruin some pretty good didn't see that coming moments
This was fast-paced with lots of action and so many twists and Holy Shitake moments. This is the first in a series and there was a bit of foundation building but the author did a great job of interweaving the details into the story.
The characters are also well-developed, and Sarah is a relatable and sympathetic protagonist.
Then there was the romance...
The heartbreak
The choices
