What a brilliant short beginning story that sets the groundwork to lets hope will be a series just like Loki’s Wolves did after The Child Thief! Melissa packs lots of punches in this book mixing in a few different themes here, something she is quite famous for doing when writing. The beginnings or a world is being carefully mapped out allowing you a free licence with your imagination with the information she provides whilst still maintaining control of the overall picture so that the story moves along seamlessly.Josephine lures Jared using her feminine and feline wiles, said the pussy cat to the wolf, to get him to enter into her territory as such. The Vampire that controls her we learn only small morsels of information about her to begin with, but what is sure is that she wants a replacement and only someone stronger than a Werecat will do. Finding Jared, the drop dead sexy Werewolf is a complete jackpot. Together they must fight for their freedom but only if they are able to put away their fears of mistrust (given how they ended up in their predicament is a sure fire give-a-way as a big number 1 reason not to trust) but there are other reasons as well.Jared calls Josephine “Josie Cat” at first in an effort to wind her up but by the end I believe it becomes a term of endearment. Being stuck together causes the two – Werewolf to Werecat – to talk, to confide, to trust and to give in to their base instincts. Josephine has been abused, kidnapped and held hostage by a Vampire as a living blood bank, she has experienced it all, but that was before she met Jared – He shakes away al of who she was and moulds her into who she will become.All in all a really good flip and take on the whole Vampire, Werewolf and Shifter storyline that has become predictable and stale in some books. I just hope this is not a Stand A Lone novel and is part of a Series as it would be a great opportunity to miss out upon if it was just left open as it is at the end.
