Unacceptable Risk by Kaje Harper

5.0

In the name of disclosure, I received this book as the result of winning a drawing, but it was the book I specifically requested. It had been on my wishlist for months, and having most of Kaje's books, I was eager to read it. Its premise was so different from her other books, I couldn't help but have my interest piqued to read it.

And it didn't disappoint. Simon was a werewolf, left for dead, who was rescued by Paul, a human vet. From that seemingly unauspicious meeting, their two lives get caught up together very quickly. Forces are working against them within the werewolf community, setting both up for a confrontation that blew my mind.

Once again this author's book had control of my brain. I had to force myself to put it down and get some sleep, but that was only after allowing myself to "cheat" by perusing the upcoming chapters enough to appease my mind. The world that she created for werewolves with all the politics, traditions and customs, and prejudices was one of the most interesting ones I have ever read, and I loved how Simon and Paul were forced to navigate through them. In my enthusiasm for this book, I spent 20 minutes going through the whole plot in a discussion with my husband.

I might have gotten this book free, but I am definitely buying the next one in the series and hoping there will be more to come after that!
