Some magic can’t be unspun…

Meddling in magic…
If Mia Brooks could turn back time, it would be to when she used her fledgling magic to craft a potion for an injured werewolf. It nearly killed the Pack Alpha, and now the lives of her witch mentor, Jessa, and her soldier boyfriend, Ethan Parker, have been changed forever. Jessa is in hospital after a vicious werewolf attack. And, Ethan, having being bitten, is becoming a werewolf himself.

A wolf at the door…
Mia can’t turn back time, but she can try to make things right with the two people she cares about most. She’s keeping Jessa’s shop, Eternally Magick, open, and she’s there for Ethan as his inner wolf grows. But, by the next full moon, his transformation will be complete. Can she really be the mate of a half-man-half-wolf, living within the law of the Pack? 

Under his spell…
Struggling to contain his new lupine senses, Ethan goes missing on active duty. When Mia realizes her werewolf lover has been abducted, she knows must harness every magic power she possesses to get him safely back…

My Review:

Mira Brooks is prepared to take on the werewolves to save her wolf in this riveting installment of the Cry Wolf series.  Mira feels that Ethan is giving in the wolf and she is going to lose him to the pack if an unknown enemy doesn’t get him first. 

Mira captivates the readers in this steady to fast paced plot as she tries to get a handle on all the drama going on in her life.  The author ensures that she does just that with well written scenes and details that draw the reader deeper into the story and of course the other strong compelling characters don’t exactly take a back seat as they contribute their own drama to the mix. 

Ethan and Mira’s attraction to each other is still heating up the sheets with some red hot and passionate sex, but the relationship has hit a few bumps, of course with Ethan trying to deal with learning how to be a werewolf would make things complicated, right? But if that’s not enough, the pack causes a few problems and not there is another mysterious player that Mira’s not too sure about.  The reader can’t help but get caught up in all the emotional drama and the intriguing situations the couple find themselves in.

There is also a new enemy for the pack as well, that adds excitement to the story as well and puts the reader on the edge of their seat as Mira’s either crazy or stupid plan to rescue her man adds lots of spine tingling tension to the story.  I can’t wait to read the next installment to find out what happens next.
