Some evil wants to live forever.Ten years ago a witch sacrificed Britta Orchid's family and turned her into a werewolf. Selena Stone's spell failed, and she was never seen again. Until now.
Officer Aaron Labaye has discovered Selena's remains in the house where Britta's family died, and dragged Britta back to Louisiana to aid the investigation, hoping her past will break the case. Britta has a hard time resisting the handsome rookie, especially when he shows her a new drawing by her murdered little brother: Britta in her wolf-form.
As an unseen hand sets events in motion, Britta has to help Labaye dig into the murders old and new. The bloodthirsty ghost of her brother, a jealous member from her pack, and a former friend with a serious prejudice against wolves all stand to stop Britta as she fights to finally get the truth about that night ten years ago. But, as she looks harder than ever into her own dark past, Britta will confront more than just her own demons as she fights for peace for herself and for her family. She can't hide anymore, but must find her place in a world she's avoided—and discover what it truly means to be a wolf.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Ryan (Trick-or-Treat, Alistair Gray) and debut author Brooks launch their Cry Wolf contemporary dark fantasy series with an intense foray into the Deep South. Britta Orchid is haunted by her past. After moving to sleepy Vinton, La., 10 years before the start of the novel, her family was ritually murdered by the witch Selena Stone, who allowed Britta to survive but turned her into a werewolf. When Selena's body is found in Britta's childhood home, Britta's pulled back to Vinton and into the center of officer Aaron Labaye's investigation. Now Britta must contend with the ghost of her brother, seek guidance from the mambo Mam Byrdie, and confront a packmate who may sabotage the investigation—meanwhile Labaye is harboring secrets of his own. Ryan and Brooks give their supernatural tale a noir sensibility and it sizzles with suspense and eroticism. Though there's nothing groundbreaking to the story itself, Ryan and Brooks put enough meat on its bones for readers to chew on.
