Crime Always Pays #3
Wrongfully Corrupted
Everyone believes I’m guilty…so I might as well prove them right.
I’m devastated when two of my mates vanish during a skirmish…then I get pissed. No one steals my men without repercussions. I’ve spent my whole life abiding by the rules. No more. They might have lit the match, but I will set the world ablaze if that’s what it takes to reunite my pack.
Unfortunately, nothing is ever easy. An incomplete mating bond is slowly driving me insane…or maybe that’s the black magic eating my powers and rotting me from the inside out. But that’s the least of my problems. I’m dodging demons desperate to drag me back to my psychotic father, who has every intention of sacrificing me for his own nefarious purposes. Not to mention, everyone else wants me dead to prevent the apocalypse. I almost couldn’t blame them for that one. Overall, you might say I’m having a bad day.
I’m not one to give up when life becomes difficult. Everything I’ve gone through has been in preparation for keeping my pack safe. Now that my dreams are within reach, I’m more determined than ever to claim what is mine…even if I have to burn the rest of the world to ash to get it.

I loved this series! So much so, I reread the first time a few times waiting for the 3rd. I hope Charlotte gets a book, I feel like there is more story to tell with Jackal!

Excellent!
This was a terrific series, I'm so sorry to see it end! Nice mix of action, and romance.
I loved all the characters, but Goliath was definitely my favorite. Wish we had more is his POV.
Hope we see these characters again one day!
