Editorial Reviews

Review

“To say this book was good would be an understatement – it was kick ass and a bag of chips on top. …As a new to me author she tick all my boxes with very descriptive language and with a clear structure to the plot – I was loving the little side stories that she used to gel the plot together while opening me up to a whole slew of characters that were just as easy to hate as they were to love.”
~ Erotic Horizons

“I enjoyed this story so much that I went back and reread it after reading it once. The characters just jump off the page, and I could picture each one clearly.”
~ Coffee Time Romance & More

“I’ve read about many amazing women in urban fantasy, but this is the first time I meet a stripper-bouncer-half werewolf-witch-friendly-crossbow sniper who is experiencing some serious memory issues. Impressive, isn’t she? But Alexa wasn’t the only super heroine in this novel; the author did some significant ass kicking too—with her writing of course.”
~ Pagan Culture
 

Product Description

Someone wants their perfect weapon back, only she’s not coming quietly.

Alexa Wells wants her life back. She’s just not sure what that life was. The memories inside her head—a stripper’s—aren’t hers, and before she humiliates herself onstage one more time, she sets out to collect the scattered pieces of her mind. The trail leads to Boston, charges of identity theft and murder, and the real bombshell: a forgotten werewolf lover who insists she’s a werewolf hybrid.

Matt York doesn’t care that she looks at him like he’s been smoking crack between court cases. Now that he has her back he’s not about to let her go it alone, even if she can easily kick ass and take names all by herself. Amnesia only scratches the surface of her problems, and like it or not, she’s stuck with him.

She’s also stuck with Robert Gamboldt, a venture capitalist who’s not above murdering his way to the top. He’s not about to lose his prize possession without playing dirty. It’s a simple enough offer. Be his personal assassin, or go to jail.

With options like that, it’s enough to make a hybrid go full-blood.

Warning: Delicious sexual tension with a werewolf who’ll wait as long as it takes for his hybrid werewolf mate to come around.

More About the Author

Bestselling author Marcia Colette hadn't discovered her love for reading until her late teens when she started reading John Saul and progressed to works by Stephen King and Laurell K. Hamilton. Her reading tastes convinced her to write dark paranormals where curses cause people to shift into spiders, psychotic and telekinetic mothers are locked away in attics, and murderous doppelgangers are on a rampage. Let's not forget about the hunky werecheetah coalitions who live throughout North Carolina. As long as she can make it believable, she doesn't shy away from the unusual and avoids common tropes.

Born and raised in upstate New York, Marcia now lives in North Carolina with her mom and beautiful daughter. They're not raising zombies in the backyard; thanks to swarms of mosquitoes infested the woods behind their house. There aren't any hellhounds living the den, only a rabbit and a cockatiel. So where she gets her ideas is as much a mystery to her as anyone else.

Marcia is a member of Paranormal Mystery Writers, Romance Writers of America, Indie Book Collective, and Infinite Worlds of Fantasy Authors.

The best place to find her is on her blog where she loves connecting with readers and other writers.

1.0 out of 5 stars Got it for $4.40 and wanted a refund after reading the first chapter, July 25, 2010

I read the summary and saw the price and thought it would be a good entertaining read for a good price. I was wrong. I found the writing style completely clunky and jarring. I couldn't even get past the 3rd chapter I found it so bad. The heroine is totally unlikeable, at least to me. Her reaction to people offering help is to threaten them and her so called boyfriend didn't seem to be much help either once they finally meet up. I rarely return books and when I do, it's because I find them completely terrible. This is one of the few books that I've requested to be returned.

This was my favorite work of fiction for the year! I had a lot of work to do at the time that I purchased it, but I COULD NOT put this book down! It was a very welcome, pleasantly-surprising story with rich characters whom I immediately bonded with. Great work by Ms. Colette. I want more.

It seemed like an interesting twist - a stripper heroine with amnesia. Unfortunately the concept is the only interesting part of this novel. The writing is cliched and awkward as are the characters. The plot is trite. I was not impressed.
