This is the first book in The Family Novak Series. A captivating book with good writing. The plot was entertaining and it was steady throughout the book. I found the story and characters intriguing. The characters were developed and thought out. Vasily and River are the MC’s of this book and mates. While this book had some of the aspects of this author’s books that I have grown to expect it was also different. The narration was okay. I can recommend this book as an entertaining read/listen. I voluntarily read an advance copy of this book for an honest review.
