Forensic veterinarian Dawn Bianchi knew that the animal on her necropsy table wasn't ordinary from the second it was brought in. She just didn't know how far it was from ordinary. She found out damn quickly, though. Between the leather-clad man and woman who stole the wolf from her lab and the mysterious man stalking her, she starts to get an inkling. It turns out there is far more out there than she ever dreamt. And speaking of dreams, did that leather clad man walk right out of one of hers?
Another short story in the Messenger series. This one had the same type of dialog between Melina and others in the story but the tone was not as good. I'm not sure why. My rating is 3.5 rounded up to 4.
Poor Dawn! She is a workaholic who couldn't resist the mystery of a decapitated wolf dropped at her office. What started as just a curiosity quickly heads into crazyland when someone actually breaks into her university lab to *steal* the dead wolf! If that didn't mess with her life enough, it looks like nobody will let her move on with her life. There's a strange guy stalking her, and the mystery people (with awesome banter, by the way) end up saving/kidnapping her. This all drags her even further into the world of a messenger and some werewolves.
Out of everything, the characters and their witty banter were the highlights of this story. You've done it - you've convinced me that checking out the series is totally worth it. Consider yourself added to my to-read list!
I read the first two books in this series three years ago. When I started this story, I realised that I didn't even remember the main character's name let alone everything that had previously happened. Doh.
The ending of this short story was a tad abrupt but otherwise, I enjoyed it.
Rendahl writes a smart and sassy heroine who gets caught up in a paranormal mystery and ends up caught up in love as well. Snappy writing and a unique heroine. Great read.
