Fantasy. Fiction. Romance. HTML: *"A smart, sexy, rip-roaring good time."--New York Times* bestselling author Angie Fox** "I'm obsessed with Shawntelle Madison's fantastic urban fantasy debut, featuring hoarding werewolves, magic, and mayhem! More, please!"--Michelle Rowen, bestselling author of That Old Black Magic SOMETIMES WHAT YOU COVET IS IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP. For werewolf Natalya Stravinsky, the supernatural is nothing extraordinary. What does seem strange is that she's stuck in her hometown of South Toms River, New Jersey, the outcast of her pack, selling antiques to finicky magical creatures. Restless and recovering from her split with gorgeous ex-boyfriend, Thorn, Nat finds comfort in an unusual place: her obsessively collected stash of holiday trinkets. But complications pile up faster than her ornaments when Thorn returns home--and the two discover that the spark between them remains intense. Before Nat can sort out their relationship, she must face a more immediate and dangerous problem. Her pack is under attack from the savage Long Island werewolves--and Nat is their first target in a turf war. Toss in a handsome wizard vying for her affection, a therapy group for the anxious and enchanted, and the South Toms River pack leader ready to throw her to the wolves, and it's enough to give anybody a panic attack. With the stakes as high as the full moon, Nat must summon all of her strength to save her pack and, ultimately, herself. "If you like your urban fantasy original, quirky, and offbeat, this is the series for you. Natalya is the craziest heroine since Carolyn Crane's Justine Jones, and you will love her just as much."--Ann Aguirre, bestselling author of Devil's Punch From the Paperback edition. .… (plus d'informations)

Really enjoyed this book. The heroine is a werewolf with OCD - not just a quirk, but something she has to deal with everyday that often limits her choices. It was interesting to watch her navigate family, pack and larger community - especially since she was often having to deal with stressful situations. The book had a great balance of action and relationship issues - it did not bog down. (

Wow, what can I say, I was sucked into this one!

Stayed up to after 3 am this morning reading it, and then finished it off once the kids and hubby were gone for the day!

(spoiler alert!)

OK, I'm standing by my orig. thoughts on this one. Thorn, im just not feeling him as a mate for Nat. He acts like he is there for her, and is always guarding her from a distance. Her grandmother goes on about what he would do for her if he could.

His idiot of a father, who happens to be Alpha, just will not give Nat a break. So shes obsessive compulsive and has issues? so what? he has a napoleon complex! *evil grin*

If Thorn really loved her like he makes out, why the hell did he abandon her 5 years ago? why is he accepting a pairing with a powerful family just because daddy said so? Oh I care for you Nat, but I just cant be with you.. you don't understand.. boo hoo.. poor baby, man up and grow a pair!

whew.. sorry end rant!

now Nick the warlock.. YUMMY! open your eyes Nat! hes there, Hes sexy, and he wants you. and He came in all bad ass and took names when no one else stood up for you!

ARGHHHH!! OK OK.. need to de-stress.. but wait no, not gonna happen cause I'm off to buy the next book.. and possibly threaten the life of E-pages if they don't do what i want!

A really well done to Shawntelle Madison! I love it when i get drawn into a book, and my emotions get engaged! this book was well written, full of detail, and had you thinking about why the things that were happening were happening! *G*

also, has funny sarcastic dialogue and supporting characters you can only shake your head at and think.. OMG.. they let them out in public without a minder? *G* (

Broken narrative

There are too many fundamental questions left unanswered. The day-to-day narrative works quite well, but the bigger plot points trip over each other. Everything werewolf seems disjointed and poorly applied to a normal romance story.

Why is Farley still Alpha? Why doesn’t Nat know about all of these magic details when she lived it most of her life? I understand history being fuzzy, but... and why does her therapy group suddenly show up to save the day?!?!!?? (

SOMETIMES WHAT YOU COVET IS IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP.

For werewolf Natalya Stravinsky, the supernatural is nothing extraordinary. What does seem strange is that she's stuck in her hometown of South Toms River, New Jersey, the outcast of her pack, selling antiques to finicky magical creatures. Restless and recovering from her split with gorgeous ex-boyfriend, Thorn, Nat finds comfort in an unusual place: her obsessively collected stash of holiday trinkets. But complications pile up faster than her ornaments when Thorn returns home--and the two discover that the spark between them remains intense.

Before Nat can sort out their relationship, she must face a more immediate and dangerous problem. Her pack is under attack from the savage Long Island werewolves--and Nat is their first target in a turf war. Toss in a handsome wizard vying for her affection, a therapy group for the anxious and enchanted, and the South Toms River pack leader ready to throw her to the wolves, and it's enough to give anybody a panic attack. With the stakes as high as the full moon, Nat must summon all of her strength to save her pack and, ultimately, herself.
