At first I was afraid I would be lost since this is the fourth book of a series. I took a chance since it is standalone and I didn’t have any problems following the story. The description of Kalev is both frightening and very sexy. Women flocked to him and were very forward. Thea had it rough with her crazy father. Thea was drawn to the wolves. One night when her father was out, she snuck into the building that housed the cages and found people. Her father caught her and things got even worse for her from there. Her father was abusive, but he was worse when we found her. Before he caught her, she freed a woman but when she tries to free a boy, her father catches her and shoots the boy. Everything goes downhill from there because the woman who escaped called the police. After staying in institutions, she finally said what they wanted to hear. When she told the truth, they thought she was crazy. Eventually, she gets out and starts her life but she carries her secret with her.
When Kalev saw her, he/his wolf, wanted her but she was human. Thea turns out to be a very strong woman (clearly she was an alpha female) and Kalev slowly gains her trust. This book kept me involved from the beginning and I feel Ms. Sex did a great job in writing this story. Her character descriptions were excellent—I could picture the scenes as well as Kalev and Thea in my mind.
This book moves along at a really good pace. There is romance and suspense. Sarah Puckett did a good job with the narration. I was given this free copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
