“ ‘The house chose you, dear, not me.’ “ 
 
Throw Me To The Wolves is a paranormal dark fantasy, unlike anything you’ve read before. 
 
I really enjoyed Brooks and Ryan’s take on werewolf and witch lore. Seeing a werewolf take their view as a curse isn’t something you typically see a lot in modern media. (Maybe except Tyler in Vampire Diaries). 
 
“ ‘Guilt can be a terrible burden, Britta Orchid.’ " 
 
After fate intertwines Britta and Aaron’s lives, nothing can change the path they’re on. Trying to solve a murder is hard in itself, but solving your family’s murder a decade later? Even harder. 
 
My heart breaks for Britta, after running away from her demons for a decade, just to come back for all the emotion to hit worse. I enjoyed reading her pov even if at points, she was a bit hard to like, but wouldn’t you be too if you went through that in college? 
 
I really enjoyed all the characters, I think my favorite being Aaron, and enjoyed the world we were ‘thrown’ into. 
 
And the twist at the end was so well done. 
 
I can’t wait for the second. 
 
If you want to read a dark paranormal urban fantasy, sprinkled with murder and a bit of romance, definitely pick up Throw Me To The Wolves. 
 
“ ‘I know you’re the big bad wolf and I’m the little piggy, puns intended.’ “
