Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

A sapphic paranormal romance with a distinct voice and Edinburgh setting that practically drips atmosphere. Brodie is messy and real, and the werewolf underground is genuinely creepy-fun.

Synopsis

A first year university student and the werewolf that bit her begin a deadly will-they-won't-they chase, in this paranormal enemies-to-lovers romance. The perfect treat to sink your teeth into, for fans of Ali Hazelwood's Bride, The Fake Mate by Lana Ferguson and My Roommate is a Vampire by Jenna Levine. *** The howling doesn't stop after the full moon. My first term of bad grades and worse sex. After losing my sister/best friend Grace and spending my teenage years suffering for it, I thought academia could be my saviour. So, I buried my head in as many books as I could find. But it turns out you can't just turn the page on years of guilt. Still, the university library has become something of a haven away from the darkness. Until a werewolf bit me in the romance section. And to my surprise, I kinda liked it. I should have died - but instead, in true me form, I fell in love with the mysterious wolf that nearly tore me to shreds. Now I feel myself changing, experiencing urges like never before. Maybe I should run for my life, but suddenly a dark bond is pulling me in closer. Am I making a terrible mistake? Could they be luring me in to finish what we started? Or could becoming a werewolf be the best thing that ever happened to me? *** READERS CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF BRODIE'S 'Delivers all the tension, angst, and supernatural thrills you crave' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'I loved this! Great characters and an exciting plot line' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'Loved the funny and stressful situations Brodie found herself in' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'Good to see a lack of testosterone in a werewolf novel for a change!' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'An absolute delight-fun, fast-paced, and full of charm!' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
