Cecelia Dominic is now on tour with CLP Blog Tours and Long Shadows
Summary:
Being unique isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be.
The Lycanthropy Files, Book 2
By day, Lonna Marconi’s busy career keeps her mind off the fact she was turned werewolf against her will. By night, a dose of wolfsbane lets her inner wolf out to play while her physical body stays safe at home.
When an overheard phone call at work warns her a trap is about to be sprung, she turns from hunter to hunted in the blink of an eye.
She finds refuge with the Ozarks pack she never claimed as her own. Upon discovering a family secret that explains why she’s unique among her own kind, Lonna finds heat in the arms of Max, who’s the one thing she cannot trust—a wizard.
Another kidnapping attempt sends her navigating the treacherous metaphysical borders of a centuries-old war, pursued by rogue sorcerers, a band of ghostly wolves, and repressed memories that prevent her from reclaiming her heritage. All the while, trusting her back to a wizard who demands the price of her heart…and who may not have the luxury of giving his in return.
Warning: Some sexy scenes, adult language, and alcohol consumption. Also descriptions of Italian food that might offend carbophobes.
Review:
I have also read the first book in this series, The Mountain’s Shadow, and really enjoyed it. I was looking forward to following up on the series and reading about Lonna and her mysterious life. Like I said in my first review, you have to really pay attention to all aspects of the story, or else it’s easy to get lost and confused. I felt the same thing with this one, and highly recommend you read the first to understand what happened with the werewolves. Besides that, these books are quite creative and a lot of fun to read. I liked Lonna’s story because there is a mystery that ties in with her family and past, and it was interesting to read about and try to figure out what the resolution would be. Of course there is also a love interest – a wizard, which isn’t a good thing – but I won’t give too much away on that. I hope you can read this series!

Author Bio
Cecilia Dominic wrote her first story when she was two years old and has always had a much more interesting life inside her head than outside of it. She became a clinical psychologist because she’s fascinated by people and their stories, but she couldn’t stop writing fiction. The first draft of her dissertation, while not fiction, was still criticized by her major professor for being written in too entertaining a style. She made it through graduate school and got her PhD, started her own practice, and by day, she helps people cure their insomnia without using medication. By night, she blogs about wine and writes fiction she hopes will keep her readers turning the pages all night. Yes, she recognizes the conflict of interest between her two careers, so she writes and blogs under a pen name. She lives in Atlanta, Georgia with one husband and two cats, which, she’s been told, is a good number of each.
