Looking for a book that you can take with you while you sneak away for some private time? Want a short read that is action packed, filled with moral decisions, betrayal and forgiveness? Oh and vampires too? Then look no further Shawntelle Madison offers it all to us in book two of her Hadley Werewolves Series.Hadley is recovring from a psycho witch who had poisoned, brainwashed, possessed, their Alpha. Turning him into a raging lunatic who was bent on destroying their town and everyone in it. The clean up is over and people are starting to trust each other again.. but of course there are still a few untrusting souls.. not that you can really blame them.Charly is a witch.. well she was a witch, no she is a witch.. Raised in a rather secretive coven that is tasked with protecting a box that contains blood demons. These demons have been guarded by Wolves.. but all of those who had previously guarded them have either died or well, died.. Now the witches need some new uhmm volunteers. Only their way of getting volunteers is to basically enslave them. After all it's for the greater good and all that. After their first attempt failed the witches became desperate and forcibly converted Charly (by having the last remaining wolf bite and convert her against her will). Now it's Charly's job to go back to Hadley and once again attempt to enslave the wolves. After all the witches needs are way more important. If Charly fails her mother is toast!Trenton has settled in, in Hadley. He likes the town, his job (Deputy) and has made plenty of friends. But when he finds a lone wolf walking across the desert he offers a ride and gets taken for one himself. Instantly attracted, Trenton is willing to see where things go if he can only figure out just what she is lying about. No way does he want to be someone who brings more trouble to Hadley.Trenton and Charly find that working together is more powerful that working against each other but when the town suddenly starts going crazy again, Charly is sure she is responsible. Regretting whatever it is she has done, Charly only wants to ensure that these warm, generous, real people that she has met are safe. Discovering that the way she was raised was not exactly the best way is something of a shock to Charly.The tone of this book was rather interesting.. Charly is part of an arrogant, superior coven that doesn't see anything wrong with subjugating a bunch of wolves. They are mere beasts after all! It was fun to watch Charly discover that her "family" wasn't always right and betrayal is betrayal no matter who does it!Like I said in the beginning a good short read.ShauniThis review is based on the ARC of Bitten by Treachery, provided by netgalley
