One month after Nora's violent induction to the dangerous supernatural side of Detroit, she's finally settling into her new life as the underworld's token human. All she wants to do is mind her own business, enjoy her new friends, and stay safe. But that's easier said than done when she's such an enigma to everyone around her.Thanks to her unique psychic abilities, she's garnered a reputation for being mysterious and powerful. When the alpha of a local werewolf pack asks her to help him figure out who is stealing from him, she can't say no, even though getting involved in pack business could have deadly repercussions.While tangled up in a heap of werewolf troubles, Nora can't quite shake her old vampire problem, either. Henry is practically stalking her, Parker is breaking down the walls around her heart, and Nora's blatant fear of the blood-sucking monsters is a delicious temptation for the natural predators.Nora's succubus friend, Cecile, believes throwing her a "coming out" party into underworld society is the best way to solve all of her problems. Nora disagrees. If the vampires and werewolves don't kill her, Cecile's party planning definitely will. * This is book 2 in the Nora Jacobs series and should be read after book 1. It is a slow burn reverse harem series.

"I liked the first one well enough to try this one out. I can't quite put my finger on whether the biggest thing that bugged me was the narrator or the writing. The narrator read this with the required cadence to illustrate a proper sentence, but she read without emotion or personality. But there doesn't seem to be much emotion or personality written into the story. So who is at fault for this? It wasn't worth much pondering to figure it out. The lack of life coming from the characters, both narration and writing, made this read very bland and methodical.<br/><br/>First book implied a love triangle. Second book seems to lead toward maybe a love square. Or maybe even a reverse harem book. Oh boy. I can't quite find what these guys like in Norah. She's mostly boring with some interesting gifts. She spends most of the book whining. "Woe is me! Curse my curse for curing them into liking me!" It got old very fast. It wasn't such a big bother in the first book, but it is played up a lot in the second and I almost didn't finish it.<br/><br/>The big reveal was lacking. I actually let out a loud sigh of disappointment when it happened. Oi. I was hoping for something better. It does make sense and the author has been playing towards from the start, but still, it was so not a shock or surprise it fell flat.<br/><br/>The first book had a small promise of a good series, the second book shut that door for me. I won't be listening to the next."
