I have never read any books by Jocelyn, but I was pleasantly surprised.

**“Ava is drawn back to her hometown just weeks before her 21st birthday and she has no idea why. After meeting alpha wolf Caleb, she’s content with the small town living she’d known before, but her best friend Kelly will reveal Willow Falls is a town with many faces.

When Ava’s mother reveals a secret prophecy, she is faced with a future far removed from the one she expected.

She must navigate her new love while

facing a responsibility she doesn't feel prepared for. Whether she is ready or not, everything she knows about Willow Falls is changing - including her. “**

Ava had to return to her hometown of Willow Falls to take care of her mother. In order to make some money she returns to her former job at Coyote Bar & Grill were her best friend Kelly works. She also meets one of her bosses, Caleb. As soon as Caleb looks into Ava’s eyes he imprints on her.

“Every werewolf will imprint on someone in their lifetime. It’s involuntary and it happens the first time that werewolf meets the person. When it happens to us, the universe stops expanding, everything goes silent, and our minds clear. It’s like a gravitational pull that unconditionally binds the werewolf to that one person for life. Any other connections to other people are completely undone.”

Caleb and Ava have an instant connection. Ava struggles with this connection throughout most of the story. It does get a little annoying because Caleb shows multiple times that he is trustworthy and basically in love with her.

“Ava, you should know that I’m here now to protect you. For as long as you still have a pulse, with blood pumping through your veins, I’m here for you. It’s my destiny now, and there is no turning away from it.”

Most of the plot is about the Ava and Caleb relationship, but a majority of it is how Ava learns that she is something more than a normal human and how to deal with it.

Of course there is a cliffhanger. I enjoy her writing but in some parts she gets to descriptive. She makes the heat between Caleb and Ava off the charts. When they do get together is phenomenal with the way she wrote it.

Obviously, I’ve never made love to a werewolf before. That was amazing!!’

I give it 3 out of 5 stars. I did like it some much that I have to read the next one. show less

I got this book as a kindle freebie. I enjoyed it at the start. As the book moved along I was still interested and had some high points and low points. Towards the end I just felt it was rushed to get to the climax.

Ava has a future that she knows nothing about. Her mother has to tell her because her powers will come to light on or after her 21st birthday.

Ava did not know that supernatural beings were real and that she is one. She is the Oracal. She will have powers, visions and the ability show more to end some supernatural beings.

Ava meets Caleb who is a were wolf and this is her first introduction to the supernatural world and before she knows anything about herself. Caleb is drawn to her, imprints her and will always be there to protect her.

Where is Caleb at the end of this book? He isn't there to protect her. Will he show up at the start of the next book? Those are some of the questions I was left with. Will Ava survive Caleb's step brother? Who knows. I will look into possibly reading the next book if I can find a way to borrow the book. show less
