Publisher's summary

It's hard enough being an undergraduate student, an intern at Downtown Manhattan's police station, and a bouncer at a local bar. Add her now-ex-boyfriend who recently dumped her for the school's resident bimbo - oh, and she's a werewolf.

Mackenzie Grey meets her match when she is kidnapped by the Brooklyn Pack and tossed between Sebastian and Jonah - the Alpha and the Beta. Being a lone wolf in the city is dangerous, and now that the Pack has found her, so can every supernatural being in the Tri-State area. And not even her sarcastic, smart mouth can get her out of this.

When a string of kidnappings involves Mackenzie in supernatural politics, she questions her new acquaintances and finds unlikely allies. Can she escape Pack law and keep her freedom - or will she be condemned to an unwanted path?

Contains mature themes.

Can't wait to see where it goes

I'll be honest, I picked this book up a year or two ago and got about halfway through and stopped. I just couldn't get past the "mean girls" vibes it was giving from the women in the pack. I kept hearing good things, and Nicole Poole is my favorite narrator, so I figured I would try it again. I'm glad I did!! This time I'm really enjoying it and I can see where there is more depth and not too much time spent around the childish drama. I love the main character and hope she continues to grow. Also the Alpha and Beta are keeping me on my toes! I definitely recommend it so far.

5/5 Great Paranormal Series -Book 1-2-3

Mackenzie Grey, is our main character-with great friends to help her through her journey. All the books so far have been exciting and well written. You will be cheering for Mackenzie Grey along with me.

Mackenzie grows up with a human family, all the time thinking she is human. One day she changes into a wolf. Needless to say, she has questions. Instinctively, she doesn't tell her family and leaves her home to live on her own. The story flies from there. She will befriend humans, other wolves, vampires and… This story expands with every new bit of information she uncovers.

Nicole Poole's narration is excellent for all 3 books, and I have paced Karina Espinosa on my favorite Author (to purchase) list.

Nothing ventured nothing gained

Story is good. Heroine is stubborn to the point of being stupid. No questions were answered. Nothing was settled. No man chosen. No sex scenes, no excitement and she is leaving everyone behind to be a Lone Wolf in the sequel.

Really loving this series and how Kenzie is learning about her wolf and her best friend is a laugh. You laugh, get mad but the vibes going on between Kenzie the alpha and beta well we will see where this leads.

Strong FMC, good supporting cast

Not bad. I read A LOT of PNR and I really appreciated that the FMC was strong and independent. She wasn't written as a weak, subservient damsel waiting for her knight to rescue her. She works to rescue herself.
Her BFF is a wonderful addition to the cast and the tension with the male characters adds some YA spice.
As always, Nicole Poole did an OUTSTANDING job narrating and should receive 5 stars for her performance 👏
Overall, not a bad series so far.
I'll be moving on to the next installment.
