Review: Chasing Sam by Krystal Shannan

Book One in the Vegas Mates series. 

The lowdown

Sam is studying to be a doctor; her goal is to work with Medecins Sans Frontieres. Her family, however, want her to be a society miss. And to complicate matters, she’s a werewolf. Why’s that a problem? Well, her family is part of an ancient lineage and the ancients do things differently to the ‘normal’ werewolf folk. This includes, upon a female’s 25th birthday, being hunted by three dudes and the winner of the hunt gets to be her mate. 

Chase is a soldier, an old but everyday Joe werewolf one. At seventy-odd years, thanks to his werewolf genes, he’s been able to fight in way too many wars. He’s tired and wants to settle down… but can’t until he meets his mate. Which he does, when he lands in Las Vegas and bumps into her… Sam. 

The review

4 stars

While short, this was a jam-packed novella. The background was credible, and enjoyable. I liked the set up for the future books, which concern Sam’s sisters. The mythology behind it all worked and I’d definitely read more of Shannan’s books. 

Chase seemed to be a good guy and while Sam was a bit of a pain at times, (hello, she was about to be hunted!) I could totally understand why she wasn’t at her best. Lol. 

Yeah, I enjoyed it. :) 4 stars.
