This second book in the series was written by Shai August. I have read other books by Ms. August and the same issues that I found in those books happened in this one.
This is a mash up, retailing of little red riding hood and the three little pigs. It was an interesting, quick, fun read but there are some things that are lacking. I find that the author will leave out details that are pertinent to the story, or mix them up. For example names will change or situations will be different later in the book as the characters recall them. Also Miss August does have grammar issues when she writes. It seems like every time I write a review on one of her books I suggest that she have beta readers and editors read her copy before she publishes. She has a great imagination; her execution just struggles sometimes.

April 7, 2022This is the second book in a series by Shai August. This was my first book I've read by this author. This story is a take on the "Three Little Pigs" fairytale. This story is about wolf shifter Zetta Major, a homicide detective who is in the doghouse around the precinct and was transferred to Robbery is given a case from the City Council. The case involved boar shifters Porcus brothers, Lucio, Horacio, and Rigoberto who were owners of the Boarhead Construction. Porcus brothers are the largest employees in the city and state. The case involved their building disappearing, so she went to investigate meeting the three brothers at the site. What occurs is an instant-love reverse harem story with a touch of mystery of who stole and cast a spell to disguise the building's disappearance. The characters depicted were engaging (I especially liked the sassy Zetta) and I enjoyed reading the romantic mystery paranormal story that I volunteer to read and review.

This book is excellent. The book is well written and the characters and story are well developed. I loved the individual character personalities and seeing their relationship dynamics grow and evolve through the book. The story was action packed and full of twists and turns. It had suspense, intrigue, emotion and hot chemistry. This is the first time I’ve read anything from this author but I will definitely be reading more of her books!! I’d highly recommend this book!!
I received an arc for a voluntary review.

Big bad wolf needs love too
This was a great spin on red riding hood. This time around the wolf wasn’t bad for no reason. She was passionate about her job and her family. Zetta was also lonely. I liked how the 3 pigs were boars, they weren’t wimpy, whinny, or scared. They were fierce, loyal and protective. Boar’s are dangerous, deadly and known to attack so I appreciated the author replacing the pigs with boars. That red was lurking.
Great read!

The Porus Brothers did not waste anytime making a list, for Detective MaJor. All three have ideas of what they would like to do to Zetta Major. The clothes she ware not to their satification. The way she was being treated was fair. I was not satisfied with some parts of this story.

Always a pleasure.
OUTSTANDING! I am a huge fan of Ms. Shai August's work. In my eyes she can't write nothing wrong. I Love the reverse harem books especially when a Black Woman is the main love interest. I look forward to reading more from Ms. Shai.

great read
This was a great retelling of the three pigs. I love fated mates and these four were no exception. I also love the elements of magic in these stories. They give it a little something extra. I can’t wait to read the next story.

Great fairytale retelling
Fun fairytale retelling. Very heavy on the mystery but the steamy parts are good, too. And three is always better than one.
