Savage appetites and opulent vices are a way of life in Crescent City, a metropolis split among werewolves and humans. As one of its most beautiful socialites, Cora Marshall thrives on scandals and the attention they bring. Yet even she is stunned by her father's murder... and by becoming the prime suspect for it.

Determined to prove her innocence, Cora hires Detective Sam Hayes, an irresistibly handsome werewolf with as many secrets to his name as she has to hers. To uncover the truth, they must trust each other with everything--especially now that the real killer hunts them throughout the city.

Shift | Complete ✔️ by TheSanguineSongbird

• Completed • • Highest Ranking • #6 Werewolf February 2022 • Awards • 1st Place Paranormal Category: Splendiferous Awards May 2021 • Summary • A story of belonging, family and love, Edie Cohen goes on a journey of self-discovery to find out who she really is. Edie thinks she is human. She has never been told otherwise. Not by the elderly aunt who raised her, and not by anyone else. But it isn't until her aunt passes away from illness that Edie learns that there is far more to the bedtime stories she was told as a child... Guided only by the notes her aunt left behind and her questionable instincts, Edie finds herself thrust into the middle of supernatural conflict that leaves her questioning everything she has ever known. Soon Edie learns that her mother was a werewolf, and her father a human, neither able to give her the guidance and answers she desperately needs after they were murdered for their unconscionable union between species. Fiercely determined and independent, her journey lands her into the arms of her mate, a dark and moody Phelan Reyes. Unbeknownst to Edie, he has always been watching her from afar, protecting her from those who seek to exploit her hybridity. When she finds her way to him, Phelan cannot mark Edie to protect her. The process is toxic for humans, so there is no mind-link. No capacity for her to shift. And no way to protect her. Her hybridity is unheard of- and Phelan has to fight his own internal battles to make her his due to the risks involved. Add in a human ex-boyfriend who is determined to find her, and the werewolf council The Guild who will stop at nothing to ensure her mutation is ended once and for all, Edie finds herself on an adventure that is far more than she ever bargained for... Mature language, themes and scenes.

Made in Moonlight by meddlingkids

When Clover Davis goes on the run, the last thing she expects is to meet Blake Scott, but after he saves her life and bites her under the full moon, she must survive her transformation to take her rightful spot as the Alpha's mate. Season 1 of Made in Moonlight *** On the run from her so-called family, Clover Davis' only goal is to find a safe place to sleep at night. But when her stepmother sends a hitman after her, she flees into the woods, only to be saved by a wolf who turns out to be Blake Scott, Alpha of the Lunam Silvam pack. With Clover on the verge of death, Blake is forced to bite her beneath the full moon, turning her into a werewolf. When she wakes up, Clover finds herself bound to Blake as his mate, but he refuses to touch her-not until she survives her first transformation. But resisting the seductive pull of the mate bond is no easy feat, and the more time Clover spends with Blake, the more determined she becomes to fight for her life with him. Between her family's search for her, and underlying tensions in the pack, surviving the next full moon is only half the battle. As dangers close in around them, can Clover overcome the odds to find her place in the pack and fulfil her destiny by Blake's side? *** "Do you remember how you healed after you were stabbed?" he asks. It's hard to forget. We barely knew each other at the time. I remember his lips on my throat, my skin burning under his touch. I swallow drily and nod. "I think I do." "Should we..." He leans closer. "Have a repeat?"

Dangerously Beautiful by Karma__Winters

"Tell me something real about you. Like, where are your parents? Do you have any siblings? Give me something that shows me who the real Kaia Jones is. I hardly know a single thing about you, and yet, I've been telling you everything about me." "You want to know who the real Kaia Jones is? She's a bitch. She screws around with guys who could care less about her other than her body. She definitely doesn't date. And you know what? She likes it that way. She hates that just because she shares a meaningless kiss with someone, doesn't mean that he gets to ask her, her whole fucking life story." Yup, I've been told that I'm self-destructive and tend to fuck things up... ----------------------------------------------------------------- Kaia Jones starts mid-senior year of high school in a town known as Forestwood. Pretty fitting right? With trees surrounding the small town, and oh, let's not forget about the beasts that lurk within these same forests. What happens when one of these beasts is none other than Asher Lodge? And why does Kaia suddenly feel so attracted to this one guy? I mean, she's used to one-night stands and fighting in underground fight clubs. So what happens when you mix werewolves, witches, and past struggles that come back to bite you in the ass? Well, you get a dangerously beautiful story of course. Warning: This book is rated mature and will have mature-themed content. This includes sex, underage drinking and drug use, rape, violence, and strong language. #32 in Werewolf
