About The Book: Phoebe Morin thinks vampires are stalking her for the microchip her late husband left taped to the back of a photograph. After a vicious attack, Phoebe finds an unlikely protector in the office nerd, Drew Montana.


Despite his issues with socializing, Drew is curious about the microchip, which seems to hold the secret of the vampire universe. He is also the best one to protect Phoebe; killing the undead is what he does best. During the full moon, the introverted Drew transforms into a sexy, dangerous wolf with a mission to kick vampire ass. But when Phoebe presents him with the mysterious microchip, the full moon has waned. Can he discover its secret and protect Phoebe without the strength of the werewolf?

The Review: Ms. Morgan gave her male lead an interesting combination of characteristics that provides a fun dichotomy of personality. In regular form, he has Asperser's syndrome; a psychiatric diagnosis that the character manifests as painful shyness, meticulousness and a reclusive, habitual lifestyle. However, Drew is also a werewolf; fierce, fearless, instinctual and wild, but only for three days a month. Phoebe, the female lead, brings out the wolf in Drew as he struggles to save her from a relatively ineffective group of vampires and a few poltergeists.

This book reads fairly smoothly as the characters try to figure out why the vampires would want a microchip and discover their growing attraction to each other. The sex scenes were tantalizing, but not too explicit; just enough to pique the reader’s interest. I thought Ms. Morgan’s proposed theory for the weakening, and ultimate destruction, of the vampire race was original and quirkily funny.   

Pagan Elements: None

Cover (Rated 1-10): 6–I liked that it was drawn instead of photographed.
