Description

He wished on a star. He clicked his heels together. But poor Xander still hasn't found a home—sweet or otherwise.

With a human mother and a werewolf father, Xander Binnigas has never fit anywhere. His father wasn't keen on being saddled with a clueless cub. His mother hated when he drank out of the toilet bowl and marked mailboxes on their Sunday strolls. 

Even so, he survived to adulthood, his one desire never wavering. And like a wolf with a bone, Xander still longs to find a place to belong.

But after years of working like a dog in hopes of officially joining the Manhattan pack, he realizes that he's been barking up the wrong skyscraper. He's no closer to his dream than he was his first day on the job. To make matters worse, he's showing signs of fray—the mental decline to which all lone wolves eventually succumb. When the telltale tics become too prominent to hide, the Manhattan alpha discovers Xander's problem and forces his paw. 

But the solution the alpha suggests forces Xander to choose between his sanity and his friends. And how sweet can a home really be if you've sacrificed everything you love to find it?

    As much as I loved the first one, I like Xander’s tale even more. A werewolf puppy who fits in nowhere and doesn’t grow into a big scary alpha? (Or does he? Where’s the next book??) Again, this is just pure fun to read. I adore these characters. They really grow on you just like the group on FRIENDS. If you like a little magic/fantasy (this is set in more modern times, big city, so not a fairytale land) and the camaraderie and goofiness of FRIENDS, you really need to read this series!
  • Second book might be better than first

    Second book in Bridget Baker’s new urban fantasy series was another hit in my book. More questions are answered and some great twists and reveals happen in book 2. I didn’t expect most of them and loved that it wasn’t predictable. Yes, 6 points of view can seem a bit daunting but Bridget does such a great job giving each character their own voice. I can’t wait for the next book to hear more of the antics of this merry band of misfits. There are some subtle Friends references you can catch if you’re a fan but even if you’re not you can enjoy this book and this whole series!
