Obliterated My Expectations!
Just One Drop (JOD) is all it will take to sink this series' teeth into you. Possessive werewolves, witty teenagers, best friends, sweet sappy love story, vengeful pranks, overcoming obstacles, examples of healthy, mature relationships, loyalty, betrayal, intrigue, crazy cliff hanger - JOD has it all! Even if you start the series with this book, you'll love it because you don't have to read the first two to understand this one (you'll just want to read POW and BR after reading JOD).
Written in a fast paced style with slow, tender moments thrown in at the perfect time in addition to a great cast of characters, old and new, and splashes of various story lines that add interest and depth, JOD is a winner!! I love this series, and this book particularly, because I'm not a paranormal fan, but this book took the "eww" out and replaced it with "ahh", "yum" and "Nice!" I laughed, I cried, I sighed, got angry, smiled wickedly and even wished I had a wolf of my own. Quinn caught me up, dropped me off in the mansion in Romania and a piece of my heart is still there. There is some mention of biting, blood and death but in a so PG13 sort of way. I recommend this to all mature teens and older. It is a fantastic read written by an incredible author. Just one piece of advice: get your beauty sleep before you start because you will be up all night!
Just One Drop begins with Jen, a mouthy, smart, beautiful, just-turned-18 girl who found out that the teeny, tiny drop of werewolf blood she has in her genes might or might not change her life. There is finally hope that she can be with Dec, a very hot Beta werewolf, but he abandons her almost immediately. Dec carries baggage from the loss of a woman in the past, doesn't want to be anyone's protector again and has refused to assume his rightful position and power as an Alpha. Unsure of why he left, Jen decides to move on, but Dec convinces her to stay and she is forced to attend the aptly named "Mate Fest." Jen and Dec, both single wolves, are thrown at other single wolves again and again. Each struggles with seeing the other talking, touching, etc. with other wolves, but neither can do anything about it. Although Dec's wolf has claimed Jen, there are no outward signs of the "true mate." But that doesn't seem to matter as Dec loses control of his wolf time and again, and Jen becomes possessive of Dec as he interacts with other female wolves. When the final straw is broken, Dec is caged while Jen exacts revenge on those male wolves that caused Dec to crack. At the same time, there's a traitor in their midst seeking death and power. Jen's death is planned.
Will Jen and Dec become Mates? Is Jen even capable of having a Mate? Who is the traitor? Will Jen survive? What will happen to the pack? Read Just One Drop to find out!
