Romance Paranormal | Fantasy Urban

Sophie Garou is living the life. She has a job she loves and she's dating Mark Sydney, CEO of Southeast Airlines. Things are going great until the unexpected arrival of her long-lost father threatens to "out" her to the world as a werewolf. Luc Garou is in Austin for the annual werewolf Howl. Though he professes a longing to reconnect with his daughter, Sophie suspects there's more to his arrival than meets the eye. When Luc is accused of murder and arrested by long-time enemy Wolfgang, who also happens to be the leader of the Houston pack, Sophie and her friends are determined to prove her father's innocence. Unfortunately for them, Luc and Wolfgang have a history going back to before Sophie was born. Wolfgang and his heir apparent, Elena, aren't thrilled by Sophie's investigation, especially when Luc's true motives are revealed. He wants Sophie to take over the Houston pack. While Sophie has no desire to become leader, the battle to prove her father's innocence could very easily bring about that result. Unbeknownst to Sophie, there are other forces working against her. Those closest to her have ulterior motives, both personal and otherworldly, and Sophie will have to make some tough and surprising choices if she hopes to save her father and make it out of the final confrontation alive. LEADER OF THE PACK is Karen MacInerney's third book in the Urban Werewolf series, and I believe the best in the series. Sophie is a fun, enjoyable character. She's comfortable with her life as a werewolf and has managed to carve out a successful life and find happiness, despite the difficulties accompanying her heritage. Her world inevitably conspires against her, making her step outside her comfort zone time and time again to save herself and those around her. There are several unexpected twists in LEADER OF THE PACK, forcing Sophie to make some difficult decisions. Ms MacInerney's fans have another tough-to-put down adventure to enjoy.

SUMMARY

Talk about a bad-hair day! Sophie Garou is a master at taming her inner beast, which comes in handy since she’s a werewolf. With a big promotion at work and a supersexy boyfriend, Heath (whom she recently spotted leaving a jewelry store with a beguiling ring box), she’s one happy girl. But when Heath starts spending long nights at the office with his new associate–a dead-ringer for Career Day Barbie–Sophie smells trouble. And when her professional relationship with her big new client–who also happens to be Texas’s brilliantly blue-eyed most eligible bachelor–begins to sizzle, she wonders if her animal instincts are leading her in the wrong direction. Just when it seems that things can’t get any more complicated, they do. The Houston werewolf pack has sniffed Sophie out, and their message is chillingly clear: you’re either with us or against us. And unless she can prove that she’s with them, the next full moon may just be her last.
