Sub Genre: Urban Fantasy

Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: Wildly independent, she’s not one for pack mentality. On the outside, Sophie Garou is living every woman’s dream: She has beauty, brains, and a big-time position in Austin’s most respected accounting firm (not to mention a very sexy, very successful new boyfriend). But there’s one thing Sophie would rather keep under wraps: She’s a werewolf. Sophie’s life gets a little more hairy when her long-estranged father, Luc, arrives in the Live Music Capital to attend the werewolves’ annual Howl and reconnect with his daughter. But Luc’s plans fall apart after he’s accused of murder and arrested by his archrival, Wolfgang, leader of the Houston pack (and one notoriously dirty dog). Wolfgang drools at the thought of Luc’s impending execution, but Sophie won’t let her father die without a fight. Determined to prove his innocence, she and her friends set out to find the real killer. Along the way, Sophie must deal with Taboo attractions, Machiavellian intrigues, sinister agendas, and hair-raising betrayals.

This is the third  book in the Tales of an Urban Werewolf. I love where this story is going. Sophie the lone wolf gets forced to deal with a lot in this book. First you finally meet her father, Luc. Who at first I really did not like at all. Then there was the whole twist about him being accused for murder. But that was far from twists. There is so much that is going on, that you better have your thinking cap on. But it’s so good that I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. And the fight scenes are brilliant. Mark is one scary dude that I’m curios what will happen with his character. Tom again is my favorite and watching him with Sophie it like true magic between them. Then Sophie does exactly what she never wanted to do just to save her father, changing two of her dear friends so that they can help her. I loved how this whole story seemed to just keep layering on to itself, making it that much better because there was so much to it.

I absolutely could not get enough of these books. Karen MacInerney is someone that I will be watching from now on. And I hope to read more about this world. I know you all will love them just as much as I did.
