About this book

Tessah is not your typical nun. Hiding behind the walls of a convent, she is actually a batshit crazy assassin who has spent years perfecting the art of the kill. Her chaotic world turns upside down when three charming thieves break in, expecting piety but finding a woman as dangerous as they are. This reverse-harem paranormal romance introduces a ragtag crew including Gavriel the suave jaguar, Kincade the brooding hyena, and Alec the brilliant penguin. Together, they form an unlikely alliance to take down a common enemy, Phineas Graves.

Between the high-stakes mission and the mysterious, cartel-connected stalker who keeps popping up in her life, Tessah is in for a wild ride. This is dark romance at its most electrifying, blending intense, multi-shift action with a sharp, irreverent sense of humor. Fans of the genre will love the chemistry between the leads, as Tessah refuses to choose between her suitors, opting instead to keep them all close.

If you are craving a standalone shifter story that balances heart-wrenching moments with laugh-out-loud dialogue, this is your next obsession. It is gritty, steamy, and unpredictable, perfectly capturing the thrill of a hunt. Prepare to be hooked by this fierce, feline-inspired adventure.

Best Fun Read!

January 27, 2023

I cannot express how much fun I had reading this absolutely wonderful story! I found myself laughing out loud a lot, that's not to say that there weren't serious and heart wrenching moments, but the dialogue with Tessah and whoever she was dealing with could have you falling on the floor from laughing so hard. It was awesome. Great characters and an interesting storyline will keep you reading, but the laughter will keep you up way past the time you should be sleeping😉 ) 2 people found this...

Great Read

This book is a standalone in The Society of Shifters. This shared world series can be read in any order. I was hooked right from the start and completely drawn in. The characters are wonderful and really like the unique shifters. Tessah is a great fmc , she is tough, funny and just a little bit crazy. I loved her men and how they ate good for her in different ways. I really liked that the story is told in multiple point of views. While the story is mostly a romantic comedy there are things that...

So, I can’t remember the last time a book made me laugh and hot so much! An absolutely hilarious and steamy read. Tessah very much gives of Harley Quinn and Brooklyn vibes and I am here for it! A great plot with great characters, you get a great time even more so if you like morally challenged, dark, and sinfully yummy so curl up and be prepared to binge on Tessah and her mates. )

Amusing

January 15, 2023

If I wasn’t amused I would rate this lower. One thing that bothered me was all the Gdamnimg. I felt like every sentence out of everyone’s mouth had it at least once. It was over used and kinda annoying. That dropped my rating down because not so much cursing but because it was wayyy to much to be used in every sentence. This book amused me with its crazy. I found myself smiling, so it was a light read. All the characters kinda seemed to have almost the same personalities, except for Hector (...
