I really loved this book! June is making her way through school to become a Physical Therapist in Seattle, but her life goes astray when she hears a woman who needs help of the path in the nature park on her morning walk. She finds the woman surrounded by three large males. The males turn out to be not what she she should be worried about when the female transforms into a wolf before her eyes and bites her!
June is then dragged across the country to live with a community of Werewolves, who will help her through her first transition.
Dom is the temporary leader of this little group of rogue wolves, and he makes the decision to return to the community he was born and raised in after being away for 9 years. He plans help his friend/sister, Amelia, overthrow the current Alpha, Evander. They need proof of Evander's wrong doing, however, before they formally challenge him for the title of Alpha.
This book is action packed, and full of heart-felt moments between the wolves. We also see and hear glimpses about the Fairies and Dragons from the first two books.
My only complaint is the magic system seems to break it's own rules at one point, and I wanted MORE to the end! I didn't want to say goodbye to Dom and June!
Thank you to netgalley and Sabrina Blackburry!

June’s life gets turned upside down after trying to help a stranger who turns out to be a werewolf who bites her. Now she has to leave behind the life she had before the her change will start with the next full moon. The hierarchy and wolf life gets explained well throughout the book so you learn along with June. As soon as June meets her new pack she knows something isn’t right and she and her new mate are determined to help make things right with the help of their close friends. Between the action it never seems slow because you are getting to know the characters and the world they inhabit. This is the third book in a four book series and although they are standalone books you will want to read them all in order because there are connected characters between them and if you’re like me then you love getting reunited with some of your favorite past characters. I am looking forward to the last book and plan on reading the first three as a refresher again because I like them that much.
Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you, Sabrina, Netgalley and W by Wattpad Books for this ARC!
I’m thrilled that I picked up this book and finished it in just two days! Sabrina’s writing really grabs you. I love anything to do with fantasy, especially when it involves mates, which makes me swoon. The story follows a group of rogues as they journey back to their old pack with big plans. Along the way, a human gets involved in their plans. The friendship and loyalty portrayed in this book are some of my favourite aspects, with each chapter strengthening the relationships between the characters. The mix of fear and joy while rooting for your favourite character is the perfect way to end a book with a happy ending. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys werewolves, romance, or stories about found family!

I really enjoyed this one so much! The story was really fun and there was a bit of mystery that kept me guessing the whole book. I didn't see the mystery coming at all. I thought I had it all figured out.
The ending had one moment that had me absolutely rioting. I was ranting "ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Bad choice dude (me talking to the author). I have never DNF'd a book so close to the end but I might now."
*turns to next page* "Oh. Just kidding. I might have overreacted."
I heard the author got another book deal for more books so l'm super excited about that!

Okay, so I’m not sure how many supernatural beasties our author is going to attempt to tackle with this series, but I am totally in for the ride!
I picked up the first book because the title tickled me. And I’ve kept reading because these are so good!
Expect adventure, humor, and some very smoldering heroes.
Great for fans of Patricia Briggs or Anne Bishop, though Blackburry does have a style all her own.
Love these books and can’t wait for another one!

This one is probably my favorite of the series. It has wolves, magic and action. I really enjoyed all the different characters and the references to the other characters from the first two books of the series. The only thing I didn't enjoy is I sometimes felt the story moving too fast. Finishing one chapter and the next chapter was further in the storyline.
I gave it 5 stars because I love this universe and these characters so much. Can't wait to start the 4th book soon ❤️

read this one on a dare after we learned it was a wattpad published book and i’m STILL upset that i didn’t hate it

The more books I read from this series, the more I learn about information about different creatures. If anything I have learned in the book series so far is fated mates were a destiny you can avoid. You also learn that even though you are dealing with some bad circumstances that happen to you, you find support all around you for help and gain abilities you never thought you needed, but it became your better half. Juniper is what you call a helper, she is always wanting to give a helping hand to any hurt person. She was there at the wrong time in the park when she ran into those wolves and got involved. She did get bit by Amelia who was the alpha wolf of the group and it changed her whole life. To leave everything behind. That is another thing I learned with these books, you leave your old life for a new one. All the wolves were supportive and caring of her. They took her with them to their pack so she learned about wolves and was a safe place for her big change. Dom reminded me of a Sergeant or a chief. He watched over his group, took responsibility for everything, and helped June with everything she needed . Before she changed into a wolf, both Dom and June had some attraction between each other they couldn't explain. They tried to ignore it, because they wanted to focus on their own plans. Turns out after her first shift, they are destined mates. That made me laugh so hard because it was so obvious. The moon pack had a lot of strange occurrences going on, rouge wolf attacks, were smoking candles that messed with you, and a pack leader who showed signs of all secrets that needed to be revealed. Towards the end, Alpha Evander is taken down by Dom. I'm glad it ended, an evil man like that didn't need to walk the earth. It will be Dom and June to bring peace to the moon pack as Alpha and Luna. I adore Carmine's character, she is brave, a friend in need if you know the pack and fun person to be around with. I love when all the books add all the characters together from the book series with Jerod being in there, then Dani and her dragon Ryker being in as well. Anybody who enjoys paranormal romances with creatures, and fantasies in the mix.

3.75 stars!! It can be read as standalone, but I do wish I had read the other two books in this world leading up so I could understand a little bit of the story they were hinting at, but nevertheless I still thoroughly enjoyed this!!
A loyal girl's girl, Junpier, hears a woman crying out in the woods and goes to help her- but little does she know that she's about to change her life as she stumbles across a pack of werewolves- and catches a stray bite from a feral wolf coming off a magical curse. She's then off with a group of complete strangers making a cross country trek across state and country lines, and she's not as mad about it as she should be tbh! She's with beta Dominic (clearly hinted upon that some kind of maybe fated connection is going to happen), alpha Amelia (ty for the bite girly!!), and loyal buddies Aaron, Carson, and Jack (mostly all the same vibe to me idk?)- a pack of rogues with a vengeance plan 10 years in the making with their original pack.
I thought this was a relatively simplistic story, in that it was clear which ways things were going pretty often, and there weren't a ton of obstacles in that things happened pretty smoothly (shifting, mates, picking up on weird vibes about town). All that to say, I was completely hooked!! It was a cozy, comforting read full of characters that brought individual flavor (except you, Aaron, Carson, and Jack trio) in a way that made me want to join this village. There's Smokey, the wise old wolf; there's Carmine, a French Canadian wolf in to find her mate and happens upon a new best friend; there's Evander, clearly CLEARY up to no good; there's so much more but I'm not getting into it here!!!

Dirty Lying Wolves
Sabrina Blackburry
Juniper Gunn had her life laid out. She was training to be a physical therapist. Each morning she would walk. When she thought she heard a woman being assaulted, without thought to her own safety Juniper pulled out her cell phone and pepper spray. She tried to help the woman writhing on the ground when the woman bit her and kicked her in the head. The woman, Amelia, was a werewolf, the men with her including Dom, were werewolves. Juniper didn’t believe in werewolves, dragons, fae, or warlocks. Dom knew they couldn’t leave Juniper there on her own, she would be going through her first shift during the next full moon. He assured her they would take care of her until she transforms. They take her to Moonpeak where they grew up. Amelia and Jerod the sorcery was ill. The alpha begrudgingly gave them permission to stay. Something didn’t feel right with the pack. Strange rogues began attacking. There was danger here.
This tale is told from two points of view, June’s and Dom’s. This is a romance, shifter, fantasy. This is the third book in the Enchanted Fates trilogy, each stands well alone. Dom and June are the main characters. They had a slow burn romance at first; it got hotter later in the book. I like both Dom and June. There are several secondary characters that are likable and well fleshed out, Smokey, Tanner, Amelia, Aaron, Jack, Naomi, and several others. This is an action-packed book; there is a lot of violence. This is a fun read.
Thank you NetGalley for providing a copy for review.

Right off the bat, I learned that Juniper is a great friend and a lot braver than I am. Rustling leaves and what looks like blood on a forest trail? We run, we do not investigate. What happens when you investigate? Frickin' werewolves, that's what happens.
So Juniper - aka June, brave one that she is, stumbles onto a situation better left alone...but because of who she is as a person, can't not help when it sounds like help is needed. In this case, that means Juniper ends up with a few new full moon abilities when she accidentally gets bitten.
Dom is a grump and begrudgingly in charge of their little crew until they return to pack lands in Canada. You get a cozy vibe from the others in the pack but there's an underlying feeling of suspicion and pretty early on, Alpha Evander seems a little iffy.
I like that it felt like we were learning pack dynamics with June as she was getting her crash course as a newbie. The slow-ish build between her and Dom was sweet too - but once they're in, they're ALL IN. Because you know, werewolves. The further into the story you get, the more you realize that Evander just ain't right. Loved the appearance of old characters and their help in figuring out what's wrong with the pack. And I'll always be a sucker for fated mates. 🖤🖤
While you technically can read this as a standalone, it's book three in a series and you'll have a better understanding of some characters and their background, if you read them in order.
Also. Jerod is officially my favorite side character!

This book has all the elements of escapism and the reasons why it’s so fun to get lost in a book. Juniper Gunn lives in Seattle and loves running the trails of the Pacific Northwest. One day while out she hears what she thinks is a woman’s cry for help. Having some medical training she heads towards the sounds when she comes upon a site she wasn’t prepared for. Several men and a woman half clothed. June thinks the woman is being held against her will and in her attempts to help is inadvertently bitten by the woman when she starts shape shifting to a wolf. The leader of the group Dom realizes June now has to come with them to save her. She will either shift too after the full moon or die in the process.
They decide to make the long journey back to their old pack in Canada. This part was my favorite. I loved the road trip aspects, but Newfoundland is where the main bulk of the story takes place. Nestled in an idyllic mountain town there is a community of wolves. The inhabitants help one another and each play a role in their town. The pack is protective and a place to belong and to feel loved. But, there is trouble brewing and it’s up to this new pack of wolves who have a history in this town to right the wrongs of the past. Cozy vibes, found family, fated mates, a love story, and characters I cared about make this one to add to your fall tbr!! Book three in the series but can be read as a stand-alone.

While I’m sure I read the other books in this world, it’s been so long that I can assure you starting here is just fine. That being said, this book has a very slow build at the start, but once things start going down, it is pure chaos until the end.
June has a relatively normal life until she tries to save a woman writhing on the ground in a local part. This one action ends up getting her bitten by a werewolf and thrown into a really weird roadtrip with her new “pack.” Dom, the second to the bitey leader who is indisposed for quite some time, is on a mission to bring his pack or sort-of-rogues back to their original pack’s land. Said pack has been led by a bad guy for a while so now that they are fresh off their win in previous books, they decide to push their luck here. June got to represent us, asking all the basic questions, learning how the change happens, how the pack is organized, and eventually detectiving out why everyone tiptoes around the badness in their previous pack history.
This book has some really great characters introduced outside the slow sizzle romance of Dom and June. I would eagerly check-in on a lot of these folks after the conclusion of this story. The pack has obviously gone through a lot, but when the dust settles (or when the truth is revealed) people do the right thing in a crazy battle. I really ended up liking all the characters and got swept away in the HEA by the end. I hope we get to see more from this world.

The moon has risen, and with it, another Enchanted Fates adventure from Sabrina Blackburry!
I had mixed emotions anticipating this one, like the others it continues in the same world as the prior two books, and there are plenty of familiar characters. But unlike the others, the main characters from Dirty Lying Wolves were originally antagonists in Dirty Lying Dragons. Starting with a bias is definitely new.
Any apprehension I had quickly disappeared as my heart returned to familiar ground. Dirty Lying Wolves picks up right where Dirty Lying Dragons left off. The story is undeniably enchanting, the characters are so much fun, especially Smokey. Don't let the other characters or storyline fool you, Smokey IS the main character.
Speaking of, but not including Smokey thankfully, Dirty Lying Wolves definitely lives up to the spice from Dirty Lying Dragons. It's a slow burn, but once it takes off, well... there's no need to get pants involved.
Dirty Lying Wolves is a perfect fantasy pallet cleanser read, it has everything you want, and mostly plays nice with you. The story is engaging, the characters grow on you quickly, it's spicy, balanced, and it's written by an absolute gem of a human being. Why WOULDN'T you want to read it?
That was rhetorical. You NEED to read it.

Thank you to the author and the publisher, Wattpad WEBTOON Book Group, for sharing an ARC of this book with me on NetGalley!!
“Wolves.
It was impossible to absorb.
And if what Dom said was right, I was going to be one of them.”
“My wolves. My pack. More than the rest of Moonpeak, they were my family.”
I really enjoyed this book. To be fair, it does seem like a common situation when it comes to this series and these characters. From fae to dragons to werewolves, I lived through all of them and I honestly constantly find myself wanting more!!! This one especially was funny, lighthearted and entertaining as well as occasionally spicy (very very enjoyable scenes to be honest) and romantic. It was enough action packed to never let me leave for too long. And there’s something about werewolves mates that I simply can’t resist, it seems. Dom and Juniper had the enemies to lovers kinda dynamic that is effectively coming out of him kidnapping her for a certain reason and her despising him for it. But then it all ends well … fireworks exploding well. This book ticked all the right boxes for a fantasy romance, at least for me and I can’t wait for the possibility to read more!!!
“I reached up to cup his face with my hands, planting a light kiss on his lips. "Leaving you is no longer a choice my heart can make."”

This is the third book in the Enchanted Fates series. I have not read the first two, mostly because I didn’t realize this was part of a series when I started reading, but I wasn’t lost or anything, so I would say you can read this as a standalone if you wanted to.
I particularly enjoyed how magic and werewolves came together in this story. There’s a great redemption storyline for Dom and the other wolves returning to the Moonpeak pack after a decade away, and I like that it was ultimately rooted in wanting to do better for their loved ones and the people of the pack, rather than a misguided attempt to be in a power position. The plan was reasonable while also recognizing the urgency of the problem, and I like how it all came together.
I was hopeful in my predictions of what would happen between the two main characters June and Dom, and I’m thrilled I was correct.

This is the third book in the Enchanted Fates series. I have not read the first two, mostly because I didn’t realize this was part of a series when I started reading, but I wasn’t lost or anything, so I would say you can read this as a standalone if you wanted to.
I particularly enjoyed how magic and werewolves came together in this story. There’s a great redemption storyline for Dom and the other wolves returning to the Moonpeak pack after a decade away, and I like that it was ultimately rooted in wanting to do better for their loved ones and the people of the pack, rather than a misguided attempt to be in a power position. The plan was reasonable while also recognizing the urgency of the problem, and I like how it all came together.
I was hopeful in my predictions of what would happen between the two main characters June and Dom, and I’m thrilled I was correct.

Dirty Lying Wolves was such a fun twist on the classic werewolf story, and I couldn’t put it down! June starts out just living her normal life, taking her morning power walk, when one act of kindness changes everything. She jumps in to help an injured stranger and instead ends up bitten by a sick werewolf. From that moment, her world tilts completely off balance.
What I loved about June is how relatable she feels she’s practical, a little stubborn, and not about to let anyone else decide her future for her. And then there’s Dom, the acting pack leader, who gives her a choice: go back to the human world or embrace the wolf and join his pack. The tension between them is so good, equal parts attraction, mistrust, and the kind of banter that makes you want to root for them from the start.
The story has that addictive mix of danger, pack politics, and romance that makes paranormal romance so fun. I especially liked how June struggles with her new identity it’s not just “oh cool, I’m a werewolf now,” but more of a real, messy process of figuring out where she belongs. And when sparks fly between her and Dom? Let’s just say I was all in.
If you enjoy strong heroines, broody alphas with soft edges, and a story that keeps you hooked from first bite to last page, Dirty Lying Wolves is definitely worth the read.

Firstly, thank you to @netgalley and @wattpadbooks for a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest thoughts.
This is book three in a series of interconnected stand alones and despite not having read the first two, I had no problem following along and enjoying the story!
I really enjoyed the fish out of water vibes as our FMC is thrust from her plain Jane life into one filled with magic, creatures and a looming threat that risks everything.
The writing style and overall plot was very well written. I think the author balanced action moments with those that were quieter and more descriptive. The flow was that perfect blend of being medium paced, slow enough that you were able to connect with the characters but fast enough that you weren’t bored.
I thought that the side characters were just as well rounded as our main couple, providing a depth to the story that some miss out on. The dynamics between the friends were thorough and it gave us this sense of found family, considering the circumstances.
The plot twist was unexpected and I was pleasantly surprised with how the story played out. The signs were there but I was so engrossed with the story that I wasn’t worried about finding them!
A great book in what seems to be a good series!

Full disclosure, I didn’t realize this book was part of a series when I started reading it. Once I went back to look at the description on NetGalley I remembered I bought the first two books in the series, saw this on was available, requested it, and promptly got distracted. Such is the life of a SERIOUS mood reader.
All that being said, while I definitely think that reading the first two books would be beneficial, but not necessary, for you to enjoy this book. I’m a sucker for a paranormal romance, especially one with werewolves, so I was very excited to read this. The book kept me intrigued from start to finish, and I really enjoyed the storyline.
My only complaints with the book would be that it felt like towards the end of the book, everyone and their mom were finding their mates - which, good for them, but it felt like that Oprah meme, “You get a car, and you get a car, and you get a car!” My second complaint was that it felt like the romance between Dom and June could’ve been a bit more fleshed out, but I still really enjoyed it.
All in all, I gave this book 4.5* (rounded up to 5 because…Goodreads). I would absolutely recommend this book (if you like paranormal romances), and I’m going to go back and read the first 2 books in the series (as well as any other books that come after this one).
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me the chance to read this ARC, and the author for writing it. All opinions offered are my own.

4.5 Dirty Lying Wolves Stars🤩
Dirty Lying Wolves is the third book in the Enchanted Fates Series and focuses on the group of wolves we meet at the end of Dirty Lying Dragons. Amelia and Dom, Aaron, Carson and Jack are the BlightFang Pack but have been involved in nefarious activities over the years. They are trying to come down from the magic that they’ve been given to make them stronger and a human stumbles upon them.
June is a nurturer and likes to care for people. She stumbles upon a group. Thinking that they are hurting the woman with them, she tries to help and gets bitten. Now they have no choice but to take her with them.
A great story with some background into this group and reasons they did what they did. But my favourite parts are the paranormal magical moments and when they realise they are fated mates😍 Their Alpha Evander made me so mad, I wanted to hold him down so June could hit him. But overall loved the outcome of this book and I am looking forward to what this author has in store for us next. I received an advanced copy via Netgalley and willingly leave my honest review❤️

Fated mates
Paranormal romance/adventure
M/F
Rating: 3/5 - I enjoyed this book but it isn't one that I will reread
🌶️: 1/5 - there were two explicit intimate scenes
TLDR: If you're craving werewolves I think this one will satisfy you
This is what I would call an old school werewolf story. People get turned by bites, heavy pack structure, full moon shifting, etc. It's been a long time since I read this kind of book and I really enjoyed it. The FMC went from being freaked out and reluctant to accepting really quickly. While it makes sense in the story and is well explained, the tonal soft felt a bit jarring. It was almost as if I was reading a different book halfway through. The romance was definitely a focus in this book but there was also a lot of other things going on. The conflicts were definitely external to the relationship. There was a bit of a mystery/"what's going on here" vibe but it was fairly obvious. The resolution was still satisfying.
Ultimately, I would recommend this to anyone craving an "old school" werewolf story.

Dirty Lying Wolves - Book 3
Juniper, during her morning power walk, encounters a group of strangers and she cannot help coming to the aid of an injured member of their party… Then she bites her… A sick werewolf..
She has a choice to make… Go home and live with the transformation or join the pack.. She won’t ever be normal again… The new reality could tear everything apart.
OK this book really got my fantasy soul going. June ends up living with a community of werewolves and honestly, her first transition was like the hot topic! It was good. Dom is the temp leader because they are all kinda rogue and he decides going back to the community he was born into makes sense. They overthrew the alpha and honestly the story was so exciting.
So much going on. Action BAM!! Sweet and tender moments… and I love the crossover moments from the first two books. I loved Don and June… They are the IT couple I needed.
The writing is even stronger now and my love of the world just keeps growing.
4.5 stars

This was a great read! I love all things that involve fate, wolves and paranormal romance.
Juniper comes across a group of strangers and being the good person she is jumps into help. Instead, she gets bitten by a werewolf. Because of this she will now become a werewolf on the next full moon. The Alpha / Leader of the pack, Dom gives her a choice, come with them and be part of the pack or return post-transformation to her world. She has to make a grave decision that will change her destiny and life.
I love how she interwove the story and characters and explained a lot of how a wolves life is and what makes up a pack. The characters were wonderfully written. This is the first book in the series I have read and I will definitely go back to the other books and read.
I highly recommend the book and to check out the authors other titles.

"**Dirty Lying Wolves** exudes the charm of a cozy mystery while weaving in elements of 'romantasy,' making it a thoroughly enjoyable read. As the third installment in the Enchanted Fae Series, this book stands well on its own, though I highly recommend exploring the series in its entirety.
The author excels in pacing, maintaining a steady rhythm that keeps readers engaged with a compelling cast of characters. The intricate mystery unravels with skillful twists, ensuring that just when one feels they have solved it, new revelations emerge.
Sabrina Blackberry's writing, particularly in the more explicit scenes, is intensely evocative, stirring a visceral response that enhances the reading experience.
I eagerly anticipate the next installment in this captivating series, as the author's storytelling consistently surpasses expectations."

Dirty Lying Wolves is the third book in the Enchanted Fates series but each can be read as a standalone book. Sometimes you just need a paranormal shifter book to read and this was a good one for sure. June is accidentally bitten by an alpha wolf and thrust into a world that she only thought existed in movies. While she figures out what life as a wolf might be like she starts to fall for Dom and the strangeness of her possibly new pack. I enjoyed this read as the plot kept the pace going and there were some good twists as well. I will be back reading the other two novels and look forward to seeing what Blackburry comes up with next.
Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This continues the Enchanted Fates Series and is book 3. It takes place during the 3 months from the epilogue of book 2 (dirty lying dragons).
This can be read as a standalone however I highly suggest reading this series in order to get the full understanding of the story.
I gave this book 3 stars because as much as I love these worlds, the over arching plot and the characters, I am just not a wolf-shifter romance lover. That is on me, definitely NOT on the Author.
I really hope there are more things to come from this author in this series because I want to explore more of this world, the creatures and I want to revisit the fae in the first book!

Spice: 🌶
I had a lot of fun reading this book.
I found the writing style of this author is strong and the MCs very veryyyy likeable (also Juniper Gunn is such a cool name).
Even the side characters were so likeable and fun to experience (except Evander don't like him). There were quite a lot but it was easy to navigate the who's who of it all.
While it is book 3 of a set, it can be read as a standalone. But I would recommend reading books 1 & 2. I hadn't and to be quite honest the first 1/4 of the book was pretty confusing. There were a lot of references to occurrences I assume took part in the first 2 books.
All in all I did enjoy June & Dom's journey both in love & in finding themselves.

This was a fun, easy read from the author of Dirty Lying Dragons. It provided all the fun with a nice mystery thrown in. This was a new look into pack life that I found charming. I guess you could make this a small-town, cozy urban fantasy. It was not particularly high stakes, but it had a fast pace and likable characters. Unlike the FMCs from the previous two books, the main character, June, has no magical powers; she stumbles into the magical world by being a good Samaritan. What that gets her is a pack of rogue wolves returning to their pack's lands, and one particular wolf who would play a major role in her life. It all makes for a fun read.
Thank you, NetGalley, for the eArc; these opinions are mine.

Dirty Lying Wolves is a fun third installment of the Enchanted Fates series. It's a fun romp as no good deed goes unpunished when June steps in to help a woman in distress and ends up being bitten by a werewolf.
She has seemingly harsh penalties for this good-hearted action. But, in true romance fashion, all is made better by the ridiculous fantasy elements of insta-love, mating bonds, and the strong pull of her new species.
The romance is fun. The backstory of Dom, Amelia, and the small pack of rogues is eerily similar to other paranormal romance novels I've read. So it's hard to really see it as more than that. It was a fun and entertaining read - if predictable and cheesy.

I was so excited to read this third book since I loved the first two so much. I dived in, and I realized I couldn’t really remember much about the first two books. This one started not too much from the end of the second. I am not a huge fan of werewolves, and I think that affected my enjoyment a little bit. Not only that, but I also wasn’t sure I really liked Dom in the beginning. However, after they arrived at their destination, I find myself liking him much more. While this wasn’t my favorite of the series, I still enjoyed it quite a bit. Well-written, engaging, and interesting, a fitting addition to the series. Recommend. I was provided a complimentary copy which I voluntarily reviewed.
