The Mythology department at prestigious Harvard University is tiny—and Mackenzie Duncan has just been selected as one of the lucky few. Her love for myths and legends is strong, but she never thought any of it could be real.
After being attacked by a large wolf while walking home alone, Mackenzie realizes something is not right. She heals quickly, is suddenly super strong, and is experiencing mood swings that can't possibly be normal. The myths she's studying aren't myths at all. Werewolves are real and she's one of them. Fear of what she is, and who she might hurt sends Mackenzie running from the life she’s worked hard to build–and straight into the arms of a handsome Were named Geoff and into the home of his pack. Living with her new pack takes the edge off her confusion and self-loathing, but the arrival of new pack members changes the dynamic, and tests Geoff and Mackenzie’s growing relationship.
The hardest part of being a werewolf is having no control and no memory of her time as a blood thirsty beast. When a moon cycle passes and she actually remembers bits and pieces of the night, she starts to ask questions, and the more questions she asks, the more she realizes she doesn't like the answers. Can she set aside her own sense of morals to belong to a pack that is like a family or will she leave everything behind yet again in search of a life she can be proud of?

Review: I really enjoyed this book. Mackenzie is not your typical girl or college student. Her love of mythology and her personality make her stand out. Once she is bitten on the way home she starts to loose everything in her life that she loves. Making a tough choice to set out on her own she meets a few wolves from a pack. While on her own some devastating things happen to the no longer human Mac that she has to deal with. Being accepted as part of this pack makes her feel accepted till she starts to question things too much. When she changes the life of someone for ever it changes the path of her life forever. Hard decisions have to be made again and the future of her place in the pack is decided. I was not ready for the story to be over.Mac is a strong woman who will let right and wrong effect her decisions. I read it in one setting and wanted to know what the future holds for Mac and her ragtag group.

Adrianne is living the life she always wanted, surrounded by art and beauty, the written word and a loving family.
As a young adult and new adult author , Adrianne James has plans to bring stories of growing characters, a little romance, and perhaps a little magic and mythology down the line for her readers to enjoy.
