Sebastian
Xenakis is a powerful wizard with the ability to shapeshift. Lily Cheval is
Chanku, a shapeshifter who favors the wolf form. Lily and Sebastian meet at a
function at the Museum of Modern Art. They have an instant connection, but
something is wrong and neither Sebastian nor Lily knows what’s going on. When
young women are being raped and murdered, Lily suspects Sebastian, Sebastian
suspects his father and the public suspect the Chanku. Who is really
responsible?
Having
never read the first Wolf Tale series I had no knowledge of the characters in
this book or of the Chanku world. That wouldn’t bother most people, but for me
it was a bit like torture, so now I’m on a quest to find all of the Wolf Tales
stories, so I can read for myself the backgrounds on how all of these couples came
to be, well, couples.
The
plot flows quickly and the world and characters interesting. The writing was
decent, but there was a bit too much repetition. I got a little tired of
hearing how Alex and Lily weren’t meant to be mates. It was discussed ad
nauseum. I got it the first time. The characters wouldn’t shut up, either out
loud or in their head, about how much they loved each other and how devoted
they’d be to each other. I grasped it the first time it was mentioned and it
was tiresome after the third or fourth time.
Ok,
having said that, I did actually enjoy the story. And can I say how much I loved
the sex scenes? Smoking hot! *fans self* I’m off to find those Wolf Tales
stories now. I have this need to see if they’re all as hot.
