When Josephine returned to her home town after the death of her parents she was prepared to take a job at the local hospital. She wasn't prepared to run head first into her werewolf mate. She spent her entire childhood as the wolfless daughter of an Alpha who thought his own Luna was weak for not having a wolf. He sacrificed his pack and the legacy of his bloodline to ensure power for himself. Now, it's up to Josephine and her Alpha, August, to save their entire pack, but they aren't prepared for the war they just joined.

I read this one twice, because I flew through it the first time and felt like I missed too many important details. Read it through more slowly the second time and really enjoyed the main characters and the supporting pack members. Curious to see who shows up in the next few books in the series. Down side - I wish Josie had gotten her wolf!

Update - read again Jan 2026 after reading the prequel — so the story will be fresh in my mind to continue on with the series. Still love these characters ❤️ and reading it again seemed like a good way to start 2026.
