Any romance story that involves an ex-cop and an FBI agent is likely to get my attention. The fact that this is one filled with supernatural beings just drew me in even more. And the body count. You can’t forget the body count at the end. All hilarious, all brilliant, all a lot of fun. Particularly when the Meet Cute between Shane and Marian occurs when one of them is an alpaca who is spitting on everyone…

Shane’s family is absolutely hilarious. I mean, a werewolf and a somewhat crazy hedgewitch create a child who is actually quite responsible. The witty banter and sass in this relationship was brilliant. I couldn’t stop laughing and smiling throughout this story. Just at the parents’ antics. Then, there’s the actual relationship between Shane and Marian, also filled with sass, just a bit sweeter.

I love how, as the story unfolds, you actually realise Shane isn’t as squeaky clean as originally understood. I mean, he is constantly flirting with the wrong side of the law. And half of his friends are criminals, ones hecknsta try enjoyed messing with and taunting. In the end, that turns out to be a good thing, but I love that there is a whole lot of grey area in the meantime. Plus, he also battles against racism (in the supernatural, species discrimination way), and recovering from a permanently maiming accident.

Marian is a perfect match for Shane, she’s tough and independent. Also, she’s completely unafraid to be herself. The fact that she’s willing to put her life on the line to stop sex trafficking rings is even better. The way this story ends, you can see that although she’s moving towards a new future, both her and Shane will continue kicking butts and taking names throughout the future. I hope they’ll make cameos in future books in this series!!!
