Wolf Brothers #1

Welcome to Moonlight Valley, Tennessee… the secret paranormal sibling of Penny Reid’s Green Valley and a small town where bearded werewolves outnumber the unsuspecting human inhabitants.

Twin brothers Atticus and Ford Boone may share the same face and the same supernatural secret, but where Atticus is charismatic and charming, Ford is grumpy and reserved… and that’s before he shifts into his wolf. When hardworking citizen scientist Alice Aymes reluctantly returns to Green Valley to restart her stalled life, she’s sure she knows what to expect. She’ll save up the money she needs to escape to Nashville while nursing her secret infatuation with the ever-popular Atticus Boone—and fighting with her high school nemesis, his twin brother. Alice hates Ford, and he’s always hated her right back. But after a case of mistaken identity has Alice kissing the wrong twin, she does what any good scientist does and analyzes the facts.

Fact #1: It’s time to revisit her unrequited crush on Atticus. Who needs a white-knight fantasy man when there’s a rock-solid, beaded lumberjack in your personal space?

Fact #2: Stimuli and sensory input ahoy! Growing up, Alice saw Ford as the grumpiest, sternest guy in town. They fought for years. Apparently that now sends her amygdalae into sensual overdrive.

Fact #3: The more bearded the wolf, the more protective and possessive.

As Alice finds herself irresistibly drawn to the man she loves to hate, the question lingers: How much of her level-headed heart is she willing to risk in the face of newfound desires and supernatural secrets?

‘Truth or Wolf’, a Penny Reid Universe Reimagining, is a full-length paranormal romance, can be read as a standalone, and is book #1 in the Wolf Brothers series, Smartypants Romance Out of this World, Penny Reid Book Universe.

 

My Rating:

Favorite Quotes:

 

No fireworks had ever gone off in my body before, but today was clearly my Fourth of July… it felt so perfect I’d have liked to freeze- frame the moment, keep it to take out and remember when life dealt more crap cards my way.

I’d wanted to eat him up and then have seconds.

…your cheeks are the color pink called I Got Me Some.

It was such an amazing daydream that I dreamed it twice.

Maverick eyed Ranger as if he’d suggested we pay a visit to hell and take Satan some sweet tea.

My Review:

 

I am not a paranormal reader but I giggled-snorted with glee and bounced in my chair with avid delight as I read this smirk-worthy and bewitchingly irreverent tale. The Boone’s are not like any werewolves I’ve ever stumbled across.

This was my first exposure to the clever wit and highly amusing word skills of Anne Marsh, and I curse my slothful ways for not jumping on her bandwagon before. I will definitely be haunting her listing for more of this highly entertaining series.
