her, the group is attacked.
On

trouble on their heels, the Sects are thrown into an all out war. The vicious
skirmish ends up forcing the vamps and Jessica to fight on the same team.
The

soon she'll have to cash it in..
REVIEW
When I
received this ARC, it game me the perfect opportunity to read the first two
books in the series, Full Blooded and Hot Blooded. I appreciated the
background and the context, it is important in establishing the relationships
between the characters, but this book is where the real action runs full force.
Jessica is a
strong character who heads into completely uncharted waters. She is the
one and only female werewolf ever. Her soulmate is also a one-and-only
and they have an immediate and combustible chemistry. I like Jessica's
maturity and confidence. She is witty, not snarky. She has a strong
relationship with the members of her pack and they respect (or fear) her for
what she represents. There is a prophecy
that she will have unique skills and be the harbinger of doom. I love the camaraderie, protectiveness and
care her friends show her.
Jessica's
relationship with Royce is also very entertaining and hot. They have the kind of
devil-may-care-we-are-so-hot-for-each-other attraction. They are well matched in fighting skills,
wit, and humor.
The ending
surprised me. I did not see that one coming.
I'm reminded that I am reading an ARC and the wait for the next book is
going to be impossibly long.
IN A
NUTSHELL:
After wading
through the first book, getting the engine started in the second, we are
finally taking off on this third installment of the Jessica McClain series -
and this one's a doozy!
Thank you to the author, publisher and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
