I see the words “urban
fantasy” in this description and that makes me want to read it. I love the idea
of the “werewolf virus” that people are trying to hide. Also, there seems to be
a little mystery thrown in there as well. This book just sounds really
interesting. And isn’t that cover gorgeous. I really like it for some reason,
maybe cause it has a bit of a darker feel to it?
Waiting on
