Delaney Rain always delivers exactly what she says she will, and this is hilarious, political, and involves the screaming death of a poorly disguised political figure just as described.

Do you want something lighthearted? Do you want to call every ICE agent you see a gestapo loser? Well then this is the book to read, because it's got jokes, antifash vibes, and then like 8 sex scenes. Top notch!

This was such a cute read! I mean don’t get me wrong there’s trauma and some effed up stuff, but Wiley is friggin adorable, and I love that feral little guy! Hammy 😏 is just so in love and happy to give Wiley whatever he wants. I have yet to read a Delaney book I didn’t love, and this one is no different

this may just be my new Favourite book by Delaney .... and i love them all! i have yet to read a book with a Vampire bat shifter, and this was spectacular. there are some nice peaks at other different creatures / shifters that i really hope get a book of there own, and make this another series.

Spicy as a jalapeño

Wiley and Hamilton were so cute together! Plenty of spice, but also a good plot with an opening for future books (hello Quillan!). If you're on the fence, get off of it and read this book!
