When this novel opens, Drew is sick of pretty much everything. He's tired of trying to live up to the standards of his family. His father isn't supportive of Drew being Gay...unless, of course, there's an important business event that requires a show. His brother? Same story. But when Drew's brother requests his help with a case in a frat house that may be trading in exotic cats, Drew signs up. He's always had an interest in animals in spite of his father disapproving, and this will get him out of the house.

Drew doesn't count on meeting Rylee when he arrives at his undercover assignment. There's a spark-tactic insta-connection between Drew and Rylee. In fact... if Drew were the kind of guy who believed in strange things... he'd be certain he saw Rylee's eyes flash red when they first met.

It turns out that this frat house isn't at all what Drew's brother though it would be. I'm sure I'm not giving anything away at this point... the frat house is a shelter for were cats. Now, there's the part where things get interesting. White has come up with something I know I haven't read before. These cats are from another world... Vihaan. The issue is that once they leave Vihaan, their cat retreats within them and they can't transform anymore.

There's some really cool world-building going on in this novel. I am hoping that the series is going to branch out into the world of Vihaan. There are some very cool differences between the cats of Vihaan and cats in other books I have read. I'm not going to lay it all out here because I want you to be able to read it and enjoy it.

Drew and Rylee are a great couple. They are drawn to each other for reasons that will become clear as you read. It's intriguing and not nearly as straightforward as I thought it would be going in. I really liked Rylee - part-psychologist and part-house dad. He's a lovely character.

Drew has a complex background. He's definitely had more tan his fair share of abuse and pain in his life. His family isn't supportive at all and he had a terrible relationship in his past. It was a relationship that left him with physical and emotional scars.

In short, I really enjoyed this novel and would definitely pick up a copy of the next one in the series! ( )
