This was an absolute gem of a story! I loved it so much. The romance, the mystery, and the strength that Sam has was amazing. The story revolves around Sam, a werewolf rape survivor, and owner of a bookstore and bar who suddenly finds herself facing attacks against her life and dead bodies showing up with the same scars she has. The story deals heavily with Sam dealing with her trauma and how she is working through it. I found her strength to be wonderful and how she grew despite all the hardships that kept coming her way. She was a badass, take no shit, kind of girl and I found her to be lovable. The romance interest was great and the chemistry between them was swoonworthy. The care that Clive has towards Sam is sweet and the gentleness he shows is endearing. Their bond that grows was such a pleasure to read. The friendships that Sam has with Owen and Dave were also a fun read! Overall I really loved this book and can't wait to read the next book in the series! I adored the characters and the action packed story! Seriously thank you so much netgalley for sending me this arc in exchange for an honest review.
