About this ebook

I used to be a normal girl, but all that changed when a vampire tried to eat me because I’m apparently supposed to be a freakishly powerful witch…so much for being normal!

Steel says that the wards aren’t holding like they used to. More and more vampires are slipping through the cracks, like the one that tried to kill me in the woods! He fears there will come a point when even the nightly patrols of his shifter order won’t be enough to keep the bloodsuckers imprisoned where they belong.

The stakes are high, but I never asked for any of this. If you look up “hero” in the dictionary, I guarantee you won’t find my picture there. I’m just smart enough to be terrified of my ineptitude being responsible for the end of the human race. Do I really have it in me to be all Merliny? And what does it mean for the world if I don’t?

I don’t want to do this, but it doesn't look like I’ll have much of a choice. 

***Trigger Warning***

My heart goes out to anyone who has ever experienced, or been close to a victim of rape. As such, I wanted to give advance warning that there is a rape scene in this story and that it might understandably be too much for some to handle. I’d advise against reading this if the subject matter is too difficult to stomach.

This is book 2 in the Order of the Bear Series, and the books need to be read in order for optimal enjoyment. You can get book 1 here for free: https://www.amazon.com/Something-SHIFTER-This-Comes-Order-ebook/dp/B071LPWF2T/

This is a three part series, one book continues into the next book, so read in order. Crystal finally acknowledges who and what she truly is and what she is meant to do in her life. Also Crystal and Steel will have a big misunderstanding, she will have more than one catastrophe to deal with in this engrossing story. I will be reading the next book.

She had been a normal girl until a vampire tries to eat her. Now she is being told she is a witch and the wards were failing which meant more vampires were getting through. Can she stop them all?

The writing will draw you in after only a few pages and have you finishing the book in one sitting. There is the perfect amount of angst and mystery to keep you hooked. I loved how the relationship unfolded so we could see these amazing characters grow in ways they never expected. I would suggest picking up a copy of both books asap you will not be disappointed.
