Inhuman by Eileen Wilks. Kai has a secret gift of sensing thoughts and desires. When she senses in her neighbor Nathan could be dangerous. Because he has a secret gift, too, and it’s about to be let loose. Buying Trouble by Karen Chance. In a New York auction house, a Lord of the Fey crosses paths with a fiery redheaded mage named Claire. But in this strange underground society, the rarity up for sale is Claire herself. Mona Lisa Betwining by Sunny. Among the children of the moon, Mona Lisa is of Mixed Blood – part Monere, part human, and destined to be alone. Then she meets a man who could be her salvation – or her downfall…

This is an anthology that mixes four great authors. Now I have written on two of the stories in here, the story by Patricia Briggs and the by Sunny. I felt I should also touch on the other two stories here in as they are also very good reads. Eileen Wilks is about people finding out secrets about one another. While the Karen Chance story is about buying rarities. The whole book is a gem. I have read the whole book several times as I really like it. This is a short story that is very nice in describing what is happening with Mona Lisa as she is beginning to see that she is changed.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: Talk about a bad-hair day! Sophie Garou is a master at taming her inner beast, which comes in handy since she’s a werewolf. With a big promotion at work and a supersexy boyfriend, Heath (whom she recently spotted leaving a jewelry store with a beguiling ring box), she’s one happy girl. But when Heath starts spending long nights at the office with his new associate – a dead-ringer for Career Day Barbie – Sophie smells trouble. And when her professional relationship with her big new client – who also happens to be Texas’s brilliantly blue-eyed most eligible bachelor – begins to sizzle, she wonders if her animal instincts are leading her in the wrong direction. Just when it seems that things can’t get any more complicated, they do. The Houston werewolf pack has sniffed Sophie out, and their message is chillingly clear: you’re either with us or against us. And unless she can prove that she’s with them, the next full moon may just be her last.

Sophie’s story continues, and now Houston knows about her. They send her on a quest to find someone or at least information on what is going on with another pack. While a group of made females beg Sophie to be their Alpha. I felt for Sophie as her relationship with her boyfriend seemed to just go downhill. But she was surrounded by Tom and Mark. Mark was a little over the top but at the same time very mysterious. I didn’t know what to make of him until closer to the end. He’s something not sure what but something for sure. I still wish that she was with Tom but oh well. I thought the whole pack fighting was well write. With bringing in old sacrifices to gain power. And then you had Lindsey find out that her best friend is a werewolf. Something I didn’t expect at all. I really loved this, again just couldn’t put it down. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series, Leader of the Pack.
