It’s going to get GROWLY in author Stefanie Gilmour’s first book in the Alex Steward series.

From the moment she shifted into a werewolf, Alex was terrified. First, of the man who attacked her—then of the creature within her.

Alex wants to build a life in Hopewell, but she struggles to keep her savage passenger caged. If her inner wolf breaks free again, people could die, and she’ll be the one hunted.

For help, she relies on her best friend Emma, a wizard and the only person she trusts with her secret. But Emma has her own secret: Mitch. He’s twisting her into someone unrecognizable…and he may be harming other vulnerable supernatural citizens.

To save Emma, Alex must make alliances with wizards and werewolves alike, face the Committee, unravel deadly conspiracies, and confront her own worst fear—herself.
