Publisher's summary

Miriam Feldman is ditching her shapewear and finally letting her magic fly free.

When Miri was a teen, her parents were murdered by magic assassins. These days, her aggressively normal existence as a law librarian at a boring firm has excellent medical insurance and won't get her daughter killed.

But when her bestie, her ride-or-die, gets tangled up with some vampires and goes missing, Miriam unleashes the rare and powerful shadow magic she's kept hidden.

It's heady, liberating—and totally dangerous.

Now in a race against time to save her friend, this single mom is descending into the spiderweb of the secret supernatural community where not knowing the rules is a fast-track to a painful end.

Her guide? A grumpy French wolf shifter with a particular set of skills, a baffling drive to protect Miri at all costs, and the infuriating habit of constantly disagreeing with her. He may mock her To-Do lists, but he's learned firsthand that her shadow magic literally packs a hell of a punch.

The tricky thing about shadows, though, is the past casts a long one, and if Miri isn't careful, those magic assassins will come back for the one who got away—and she'll lose everything.

Featuring a slow burn shifter romance and a smart older heroine, this clever mix of urban fantasy and mystery will take you on a wild ride.

Very bad narration

Great story line. Good character development. The narrator wrecked this for me. The shouting, angry speech made it feel like someone was *itching at me for hours. I can't finish and won't continue with the audible version.

I wish the narrator would stop yelling

The story was ok. I enjoyed the humor, but my overall enjoyment of the book was ruined by the narrator. Her style was annoying in that she just couldn't tone it down. It was like the main character was hopped up on energy drinks or something... just too much energy behind her words when energy wasn't called for. I'd return it, but I did actually listen to the entire thing so I won't,

Not For Me

The performance ruined it for me. I may go back and read it in kindle or other format but it was like a reader, not a performer read this. Points of emphasis were just off. I listen to a tremendous number of books as I work.
