Love this!!!! This is a prequel to the series. If you have already read Witches Compliment be sure to read this it will clear up and explain some things. I love the characters in this series. Lucille Yates has done an excellent job with these books!!!
Having read Lucille's 'The Witches Complement' I was thrilled to read this prequel for insight into the lives of some of the 'minor' characters. I was hooked from the first page! How these characters are introduced and how they interact had me on the edge of my seat. The only negative I can find in both of Lucille's books is that they had to end. Definitely left me wanting more.

This book is the prequel to the A Bite of Magic series and the main characters are Tamara and Isaiah. Tamara has just graduated and is getting ready to go off to college. While her parents are away on a trip, she keeps getting a load of people coming to her door and following her, telling her she needs to go with them and telling her strange tales of magic and werewolves. She escapes in her car and goes camping in the mountains to get away from them all, but something strange happens to her shortly after she gets there. Isaiah has also graduated with his best friend Alan, and they have gone hiking in the mountains for the weekend, before they have to start work for real, in Alan’s father’s garage. While on the hike and getting hotter and sweatier by the minute, they suddenly encounter a wolf or coyote, that runs up to Isaiah and tries to play with him, which looks like it is trying to attack him. Alan tries to hit it with a rock, but it manages to grab Isaiah by the leg, biting him badly. This wild animal attack changes his life for ever more, as he starts to notice he is stronger and quicker in the weeks that follow. Isaiah gets an invite to a house out in the woods, to do some fence building and earn some extra cash. What he finds when he turns up is more young people like him, werewolves, mostly from accidental biting incidents, led by a man called Walter who owns the land and is a born werewolf, able to shift at will. He has contained a large fifty acre section of his land with tall fencing, so all the wolves can feel safe and no one can get at them. Most have no idea of the dangers their new status could bring to them, especially from hunters or those who hate them. This is where he learns to shift for the first time, of course discovered by Alan, who followed his best friend, worried he was joining some sort of cult! Tamara moves to Savannah for college and has an introduction to the wolf pack there, coming face to face with Isaiah again, who has no idea that she is the one who bit him and caused his life to change so drastically! They are also fated mates, not that either of them really know what that means for their futures, apart from a great pull towards each other that they can’t deny. Tamara does some reading at Walter’s and learns she can break the bond or not complete t to start with, which would have been easier. She is guilty of her actions during that first shift, when she was out of control and had no real idea of what she and her wolf were doing. She does know that Isaiah is unlikely to want to be with the very person who he blames for ruining his life and his hopes for the future, never mind put him in danger just for what he now is. She tries to get her nerve up to tell him, but keeps putting it off as they get closer and closer romantically and as friends. When he does find out her secret, he isn’t going to take the news well at all! Tamara hoped that he would have gotten to know her well enough to realise she hadn’t done it deliberately and that she felt the same pull he did to become mates. A little interference from a witch with a potion to break their bond, but only if they both want it, is the only solution now after they have completed the bond. Parts of the story are written with Alan making mention of telling his own teen son about magic and werewolves and he and Isaiah are looking back at when Alan was first introduced to it all. A great set of characters that set a solid foundation for the series and I can’t wait to see more about them and where they have ended up. I look forward to reading the next book in the series which deals with the witch’s coven. I received an ARC copy of this book from BookSprout ad I have freely given my own opinion of the book above.
When Tamara is at a local park, she gets bit by a kid she was trying to stop fighting with another kid. Its not long before some people start showing up at her home and work. They freak her out when they start talking about her changing into a wolf. Tamara ends up going camping and she suddenly changes into a wolf. Before she can adjust to being a wolf, she notices two men and one smells amazing to her. She goes towards him, and they start throwing rocks at her. She starts to get closer to the man and ends up biting him. Isaiah is stunned by the wolf and the bite. However, nothing prepares him for the news that will change his life. Will he be able to forgive Tamara for biting him on accident? Can they move froward together?
This is a great story that will captivate you from beginning to end. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

AN emotional and amusing story about two people who are turned into werewolves. The only problem is that Tamera had bitten Isaiah and although both realized they were bonded , Tamera could not find the strength to tell him that she had bitten him . Finally a witch told Tamera that she could break the bond. But did both parties really want the bond to be broken or was it only the emotions in play.Well worth reading.

I love Alan and Isaiah's friendship, the tensing and loving bond as they grow together as best friends as things change for Isaiah and Tamera. I love the ups and downs and how everything came together, and I got a glance of meeting Gigi and Sylvia in this book. I can't wait to read more of this series.
