Never go into the woods alone at night. You’ll never come out the same, if you come out at all.
Spirit Taylor is a writer. She knows this. A thousand strange creatures are imagined to haunt the woods waiting to dine and do unmentionable things to unwise travelers. Anyone with a heartbeat knows that the woods are just plain creepy.
But on this one occasion, Spirit forgets to be careful. After hearing that her boyfriend wants to date other women, Spirit leaves the safety of her cabin and walks out into the night.
From there, her life takes a strange turn. She meets the Wolfman. He steps out of the shadows and forever alters the course of her life.
Before long, Spirit will begin to understand that the world is fat with magic. Reality is not always as it seems. Anyone can be a monster. A story can change your life. And a heart can be drawn to two men at the same time, even if one is a wolf.
Spirit will question everything. What is real? Is she in danger? Who can she trust? And how can the Wolfman in the forest also be the most handsome man she's ever seen?
Raeshell Rozet is an urban fantasy romance author. She is best known for her Spirit and the Wolfman Series. Her books are filled with monsters, romance, and fated love.

Raeshell has two grown-up sons and a pet tortoise “Catherine the Great”. She enjoys writing while her tortoise plays in the garden, dancing when the sun goes down, and hunting through thrift stores for whatever catches her eye. Raeshell has a collection of trolls and gnomes that adorns her house all year long and dreams of living in a hobbit home one day.
This was an excellent story! Completely unique. What an achievement in an overcrowded genre. Suspense building is consistent and subtle. The writing style at times reminds me of gothic style. Dark overtones of timeless fate and loss persist but are balanced by love and loyalty. This was an incredibly enjoyable read.
I was pleasantly surprised by this! I'm also a bit surprised that there aren't more reviews. You really should give this one a chance! It was short, but I quickly grew to care for the characters. I liked it's feel of magic. Definitely one of those hidden gems that any fantasy or fairytale fan needs to pick up.
This novella could use some editing, but it's still a very whimsical read and a very different take on a werewolf romance. I love the idea of fated mates and love transcending time. There's not a drop of spice, but it doesn't necessarily need it. The ending did feel like it was a little rushed and came up on me suddenly, but this is a series so there's more to be had. I'm not sure I'll continue with the series though because . However, if you're looking for a unique spin on a werewolf/fated mates romance then this could be your next read!
P.S. - He didn't need to do the squirrel like that 😭
Great start to a AWESOME series. Characters and plot had suspense and the ending I had all wrong. Pace never slowed, I was engaged the entire time. Now on to book 2...enjoyed so much and you will too.
