Jessica McClain is shouldn’t exist, the only female ever born into a werewolf pack. When she was born a prophecy was whispered; she was an instrument of evil and would bring about the destruction of the race. Her life was a series of fight to defend herself growing up, until she escaped and built a new life using a new identity. Now she lives as a human, working as a PI and specializes in supernatural matters. Females can’t shift into werewolves so she’s relaxed, ignoring the Cain prophecy. Then her Wolf wakes.......

Returning to the pack after her first shift, Jessica has the protection of her father (the alpha) and his inner circle. Other wolves would see her as a threat so news of her shift and different powers are kept quiet. Word leaks out though, and the Cain prophecy rumours are resurrected. Now Jessica is a target and other weres, witches, a goddess, and vampires (scary ones, not the glittering type) are involved in the hunt.

The supporting character were strong and added a lot to the story. The love interest - wow! an ancient werecat, he’s a mercenary who accepted a contract to gather information on Jessica. I loved this book and was hooked from the start! This book has a little romance, lots of action, and some very hot sex scenes. The first of the fantastic new Jessica McClain series, I can’t wait to read the next. The cliff-hanger ending promises more excitement in the next book, Hot Blooded.
