Plot

Charlie is a hybrid shifter, having been bred by both a honey badger and wolf.

The book begins with Charlie jumping off a balcony at a hotel to get away from paid mercenaries trying to kill her. She jumps right onto the balcony of Grizzly shifter, Berg. Immediately, Berg is completely captivated by Charlie and her absolute badassery.

However, their meeting is brief. Charlie is always on the move, and her and her sisters seem to always be on the run.

A few days later, Charlie and Berg’s paths cross again. This time, he wasn’t going to let her get away. So he decided to help Charlie and her sisters find a safe house in his Grizzly neighborhood.

Between fighting off trained mercenaries and trying not to kill their father. Charlie and Berg strike up a friendship that quickly turns into something deeper.

Review

This book is not only witty but incredibly bewitching. Once you read the first book, it’s impossible not to continue the series.

Shelly Laurenston is a genius with words. She had me laughing out loud while still being completely enthralled in the story. The relationship between the sisters, Charlie, Max, and Stevie, was amazing. From sisterly fighting to always being each others support system. Their relationship just got better as the books went along.

As for the plot, this might be one of my favorite shifter series. Everything felt completely cohesive to the point that it seemed possible shifters could totally be in our world today. Laurenston had me believing her world existed, which is something as a reader, I always want to see.

On top of having a wonderful plot, the characters were just as captivating. Berg was an absolute teddy bear. Seeing him with someone as tough as Charlie was perfect. He was able to show her softer side and made her realize that she could be her true self with him.

If you are looking for a high-paced book with lots of action and romance, this series is perfect for you. Prepare to laugh out loud, swoon, and root for some amazing characters.
