Anderson High Wolves #1
Buried Bodies
Jenny Reynolds may be a mere human, but her life is anything but ordinary.
She’s juggling her senior year of high school, a sick mom, a brother who depends on her, and, oh yeah, there’s the matter of a body in the trunk of her car. As if that isn’t enough, the werewolf quarterback of her high school’s all-shifter football team has started sniffing around.
Evan Carmichael never noticed Jenny as more than the cute girl in his class until the day he smelled blood and death on her. Now she’s all he can think about. And when a werewolf becomes intrigued, he’ll do anything to keep the object of his fascination safe.
Even hide a body.
What’s a girl to do when the most beautiful boy in school wants to help her out of her jam? If she’s smart, she takes him up on the offer…

About the author
Kelly Apple
71 books47 followersKelly Apple is a hardcore paranormal junkie with the bad habit of falling for damaged heroes. Finding (and writing) characters who make her heart break is one of her goals in life. She has a boy who can drink his weight in Mountain Dew and always tries to get her to play video games with him. She politely declines on account of all the voices in her head who are impatiently waiting for their stories to be told. Oddly, her two dogs have never tried to talk her into playing video games. They just expect belly rubs.
Kelly lives in sunny Northern California and she’s baffled by snow. Her flip-flop tan is something many dream about but few can achieve.
She reads, she writes, she tweets.

While I really like this author's writing style and stories, I find it frustrating that they're so short. Especially with this one.
I want to read about the build up between the pair, what happened before the hours written in this book and after.
I was teased with a mating claim and an erection, now I want to read about what he did with it.
GIVE ME MORE! Please?

My Review:
This book has the best beginning I've read in a long time. Most teenage girls don't start out their high school day shuttling their little brother to school and thinking about their dead stepfather who they murdered the night before...who just happens to be in the trunk. Haha...yeah, this isn't your typical NA/YA, but it was so fun.
Jenny has a lot on her plate and she's only 17. As a result, she has a great inner monologue. Make breakfast, dump the body, don't look at the cute quarterback...you know, just like every high school girl does. But the quarterback isn't exactly the normal guy either. He's Evan and he's an alpha werewolf...which means he can scent the lingering blood on Jenny and the body in her trunk.
This book is not very long, but it didn't skimp on story or details. I loved reading it. It was fun with a snarky edge of wit that kept me smiling. I love that despite everything going on, Jenny is still just a normal girl who can't believe that Evan could really be interested in her. He's the quarterback and an alpha...she's just a normal girl...who sometimes gets so angry as to murder people. Obviously she has a spine of steel...the girl is dealing with a lot and that makes her a perfect mate for this strong werewolf. But she's still young...and shy...and so sweet, you just want to wrap her up in your arms and protect her. Luckily, Evan is definitely up for the job. Rawr...he was hot, and protective, and so, so, so much about the mine aspect of the shifter society. Loved that!
It was a great book and gave the reader a good glimpse of this werewolf pack at the local high school. I'm hearing rumors that there are at least a couple more books to come in the series...YES! I can't wait. This book is the perfect amount of romance and shifter sexiness in one sweet little novella to entertain you for an hour or two.

I’ve loved Kelly Apple’s romps through supernatural erotica (Monstrous Tales – The Wicked Woods, The Wicked Wolf, The Wicked Merman, The Wicked Dragon and her new series, Pinnacle Point – Ghost of a Chance) but I have to admit, I love the stories that have a little more ‘story’ to them even more. Buried Bodies definitely falls into that category.
I guess that the description makes the story seem a little more ‘light’ than it really is. True, Jenny does have a dead body in her trunk, but the reason behind the center of the story is much more serious.
Jenny lives in a world where the supernatural and humans coexist. Even from a supernatural standpoint, Jenny has way more responsibility than any human high school student should have to handle, and she’s human. Having the coolest supernatural guy start paying attention to you because he can smell the blood on you should be a very bad thing… but nothing is quite what it seems.
This is the first book in the Anderson High Werewolves series and it was a grand introduction. Nothing erotic about this one, but the characters were going through so much, it wasn’t missed. This was a sweet, sometimes crazy, love story that was the perfect start to what promises to be a fun series with just a bit of a serious edge. I think I’m going to like getting to know the characters in this unique corner of Kelly Apple’s universe.
