♦︎ Book Overview ♦︎

Afflicted, exploited, and deadly…

Teenaged Pawly discovers her secret werecat heritage after unexpectedly morphing one Halloween night. Desperate to find an outlet for her and her twin brother’s growing bloodlust before they go feral, Pawly’s blended human-werecat family begs a Chicago-area drug cartel for help. Her uncle Ritzi, meanwhile, scrambles to develop an alternate way the twins might satisfy their lethal urges. Resuming his deported father’s scientific research, Ritzi draws notice from an elder werecat representing a rogue state keen on the twins’ potential. When a cartel enforcer is found savagely mauled following the twins’ first job, Ritzi insists Pawly and her brother enlist in the rogue state’s service to ensure their safety. But their father, a Navy sailor critically wounded in recent combat, would rather die than risk being separated from his children again—which Pawly soon realizes is no idle threat.

✿ Book Review ✿

An Urban Fantasy at its finest. To be honest, Urban Fantasy has never been one of my favorite genres to read, especially if the story takes place in the United States (Where I am from). But let me tell you, this was such an incredible story! It takes place in Chicago where a family is desperately trying to find help and a cure for the 2 MC’s disease that is called the “Affliction” that makes them turn into blood thirsty Werecats.

There is thriller, suspense, and strong family bonds. There are a lot of characters to follow but it gets easier once the story unfolds. The author did an amazing job with the plot and having his words flow. Not once had I had to look back and reread a part of the story because it was confusing, and sometimes that can happen. I also enjoyed the moments of history that the author adds throughout the book, it did not give the feel of info dumping all at once. The author did an amazing job with descriptions and details, it really made it feel like I was actually in the story and looking through the character’s eyes. I will definitely continue this series.
