Publisher Description
Born the only female in an all-male werewolf race, Jessica McClain isn't just different - she's feared.
After living under the radar for the last twenty-six years, Jessica is thrust unexpectedly into her first change, a full ten years late. She wakes up and finds she's in the middle of a storm. Now that she's become the only female full-blooded werewolf in town, the supernatural world is already clamouring to take a bite out of her. Now her new Pack must rise up and protect her.
But not everyone is on board. There are certain superstitious werewolves who think Jessica means an end to their race - and they're not about to go down without a fight.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this skimpy paranormal thriller, all werewolves are male until Jessica McClain, daughter of the respected pack alpha of the Northern U.S. Territories, discovers she can shift. She wanted a relatively quiet life as a PI, but being the first full-blooded female werewolf means that many other supernatural beings want a piece of her, and many of her fellow werewolves want her dead. While every protagonist is by definition special, Jessica is excessively so. Besides lycanthropy, her long list of virtues includes the ability to assume the extremely rare half-wolf, half-human Lycan form; blocking her alpha's psychic link (which no one has ever done before); mate-bonding with an ancient, dangerous were-beast whose animal form has never been seen by anyone living; and violet eyes. Jessica's appallingly stereotyped Hispanic neighbor Juanita ("Ooooh, Chica! I have been so worried! It es soooo good to see you here in the live") heads up a lightly sketched cast, unsupported by the thin plot and exposition-heavy writing.

Price woes!
Yet again, we in Oz are getting burned on ebook prices. That aside...
The "Blooded" series (despite having the usual lineup of modern "fantasy" writing suspects: fey, were-critters, vamps & goddesses) manages to be sufficiently different to the others for me to remember the main character's name.
For a voracious reader, that's a Gold standard.
