Publisher Description
Twice-cursed witch Primrose Huxley is the eldest of five immortal, witchy sisters, all doomed to bad luck in love. Thanks to her wicked grandmother and a torturous demon, Prim also has unimaginable, and unwanted, power hanging out inside of her. It's the reason she lives in Paradox, keeping her family—and most of the world—at a distance. Mason Géroux, a wolf-shifting conman-turned- Alpha, seduced Primrose and stole from her back in the 12th century. When he shows up on the doorstep of her bookstore, Volumes & Vagaries, Prim's quiet life in hiding is thrown into chaos. Mason demands her help in finding his wife and the enchanted locket he gave the woman. It's the same locket for which Prim’s grandmother made a bargain with a dangerous entity neither Heaven nor Hell have been able to identify. The chemistry between Primrose and Mason is alive and well, and she’s certain it isn’t good for her carefully held control. Even worse, the demon that wants Prim's power at his beck and call hasn’t given up on finding her. And her sisters have decided it's time for a Huxley Invasion; Goddess help them all.

This is a signal for the Huxley sisters to reunite.
Review:
Primrose & the Wolf is an entertaining fractured fairy tale, set in an urban fantasy. It revolves around Primrose Huxley who has been hiding in Paradox and running a bookstore. There are people she is avoiding by living in Paradox. First are her crazy sisters. Second is the demon Ipos who brutally tortured her the last time he got his claws on her. Finally is Mason, a wolf-shifter she was once in love with and still has feelings for.
Word of warning, this book contains adult language and situations that put it well beyond young adult reading.
Jennifer Fales has taken elements of fairy tale and mythology and mixed them into a modern adult fantasy tale with Fae creatures, werewolves (called wolf shifters), demons, angel, and a gargoyle that runs a bar. This makes for an entertaining story. The dialog is believable (sometimes too much so), and the interplay between Prim’s sisters adds some risqué comic relief. This is a fun story that is well worth reading.
