Cover blurb:
The award-winning Weird Girls urban fantasy romance series continues to blow away modern fantasy and adventure fans with heart-stopping action and romance. Centered around four unique and powerful sisters, it’s time for Emme Wird, the youngest sister, to step into the supernatural spotlight.
Emme Wird, the healer and powerful telekinetic in the Wird family, hasn’t had the best of luck with males. While her sisters have found their mates and forever loves, Emme has found males that are better left as lost. Is a decent meal with polite conversation too much to ask for? Yes, it is.
When a pack member that Emme has dinner with is discovered dead and dismembered, it is up to Emme and her werewolf friend, Bren, to solve the murder. But spine-tingling danger and touches with evil have ways of bringing close friends closer.
Could the male that Emme searches for be right in front of her? Or will evil snatch him away from her, just as it did once before?
Long time no see, everyone! We’ve been on a COVID break, but it’s only fitting we’re starting back up with one of my all-time favorite authors & universes!!!
I have been waiting for this book FOREVER!! Out of the Wird sisters Emme is my second favorite after Celia, and Bren is my second favorite wolf after Aric so I’m quite excited that they will finally (hopefully!) end up as mates! At first glance they are quite the opposites-Emme is shy, kind and loving while Bren is bold, cheeky but devoted to those who he considers his pack including the sisters and his best friend Danny. As we all know, the road to true love is never smooth and Emme has had quite a few bumps and potholes along the way. The loss of her former boyfriend-but-not-mate Liam and watching her sisters find their happiness has left her adrift and wanting to find her true love.
As the story begins, Emme is on a date with a decent werewolf who may be the one…but actually he’s not either of those things. Instead she is lured into the apartment of Ted, a werewolf new to the Tahoe area that has the distinction of not only being a jerk, but one with three testicles. How do we (and Emme) know this? Because he has no problem showing off his junk in an attempt to get the youngest of the Wird sisters in his bed, thinking he’s doing her a favor. Bad, enormously bad call dude! (Sorry, channeling my inner Shayna there!) Being new to the area as I said, Ted isn’t familiar with Emme’s force but he discovers it when she throws him out the window without touching him. At the same time this is all going down (pun intended), Emme senses something else in Ted’s apartment; a malevolent presence full of hatred, though Emmy can’t tell where the feeling is originating.
After she leaves Ted’s hell hovel Emme ends up at the Watering Hole, the bar where Bren works as a bartender. Their relationship has been strained for reasons Emme doesn’t quite understand, but she’s been harboring a crush on him for years. But WE know that it’s because Bren has been attracted to her for a long time, though he’s held himself back as he feels like he isn’t a worthy match for her. Things happen though and they end in an intense match of tonsil hockey at the bar and everything is happily ever after! Right? Wrong. Remember that feeling of evil Emme had back in Testes Ted’s apartment? When he is found torn to pieces on the beach, Emme and Bren realize that there is something on the loose in Tahoe and they are forced to team up in order to take it down and save themselves before it is too late. Then, action ensues! Lots and lots of action! (Of many kinds, heh heh heh!)
The newest romp in the Weird Girls universe is a fast-paced adventure that takes the readers back to the supernatural Tahoe that we have grown to love over the years. The best part of Cecy’s books is that she always imbues them with plenty of action and heart, with a huge helping of humor to balance it out. While Bren adds his usual mix of sarcasm and wit, I must say that some of my favorite parts occur ‘off-camera’ from Shayna. (Personally I’m never looking at a container of Quaker Oats in quite the same way again!) As I’ve mentioned previously these are books that should really be read in order to get the full experience of the universe Cecy has created, and trust me you won’t regret the time!
Thank you to Cecy and Netgalley for the chance to read this early; I’ll be over here in my corner just waiting to find out what happens next!
