This one had me hooked from the start. All American Wolf opens with a one night stand that might not be just a one nighter (she doesn't do one night stands, but this guy... it just went from one thing to another and the passion was irresistible); then the next morning Serena sees a wolf out on the ice, something she's never seen before. And then we jump forward to Serena at work as she investigates reports of a badly mutilated body dumped in the snow. This was going to be no ordinary week for Detective Serena Daniels. To complicate things further, the world she thought she knew is about to be turned upside down: approached by a stranger who knows more than he should about the case, she learns he's a tracker of shifters and he's been on the trail of one particularly dangerous beast...I picked this up hoping for a simple shifter romance: a light and easy read. What I got was certainly an easy read - a real page-turner - but it was much more than that: a well-constructed, engaging detective story, as Serena pieces together what happened to the man whose body was found on her patch; a story full of twists and turns and, yes, a romance full of passion and surprises. I hadn't read anything by this author before now, but I'm really pleased to see that this isn't her only shifter romance and I'm going off right now to buy some more!
