Summary

Miriam Feldman is ditching her shapewear and finally letting her magic fly free.

When Miri was a teen, her parents were murdered by magic assassins. These days, her aggressively normal existence as a law librarian at a boring firm has excellent medical insurance and won't get her daughter killed.

But when her bestie, her ride-or-die, gets tangled up with some vampires and goes missing, Miriam unleashes the rare and powerful shadow magic she's kept hidden.

It's heady, liberating—and totally dangerous.

Now in a race against time to save her friend, this single mom is descending into the spiderweb of the secret supernatural community where not knowing the rules is a fast-track to a painful end.

Her guide? A grumpy French wolf shifter with a particular set of skills, a baffling drive to protect Miri at all costs, and the infuriating habit of constantly disagreeing with her. He may mock her To-Do lists, but he's learned firsthand that her shadow magic literally packs a hell of a punch.

The tricky thing about shadows, though, is the past casts a long one, and if Miri isn't careful, those magic assassins will come back for the one who got away—and she'll lose everything.

Featuring a slow burn shifter romance and a smart older heroine, this clever mix of urban fantasy and mystery will take you on a wild ride.

Disappointing

Deborah Wilde books are usually fun and light read/listening, but I really struggled with this one. The story was so superficial. I had to repeat multiple parts, because my mind was drifting and I missed what was happening. The narrator was just....bad. I don't know why so many narrators are trying such a complex voice acting. I mean, Croix Provence was trying to impersonate male with French ascent. That is so difficult and unnecessary. And she failed. I found myself hoping the male character to stay in his animal shape so he doesn't have to speak.
A wasted credit.
