The story follows Mateo's struggle with his inner wolf, Alpha, and his quest for help from the Savoie witch coven, while developing a budding relationship with Evie. The plot is engaging, fast-paced, and filled with magic, mischief, and a beautiful familial connection between the Savoie sisters. The writing style is described as fun, flirty, and light-hearted, with a perfect blend of humor and angst, making it an easy and enjoyable read.

From The Publisher:

What's the worst thing that can happen to a werewolf? Unable to shift for three months, Mateo Cruz knows all too well. His wolf has taken up residence in his head, taunting him night and day with vividly violent and carnal thoughts.

Convinced he's cursed, he needs the help of a powerful witch before he literally goes insane.

Evie Savoie has always obeyed the house rules of her coven--no werewolves. They're known for being moody and volatile. So, when a distempered, dangerous werewolf strolls into the bar and almost strangles one of her late-night customers, she's ready to bounce him through the door.

But the desperation in his eyes when he begs her to help him softens her heart and convinces her to bend the rules.

What Evie doesn't know is that Mateo's wolf has a mind of his own. And now that she's in his sights, he wants only one thing. Her.

My favorite Kindle Unlimited borrow to date. This was a super fun beginning to what I know will prove to be a must-read, auto-buy/borrow from here on out. Happily recommended for fans of series with a mix of supes, interesting supernatural mythology, humor, strong female characters and the sexy men who must win them over.
