About this ebook

Violet Jordan thought the fairy tales her mother wove were just a way to get Violet to sleep, not a way to prepare her for the apocalypse she is the key to preventing. When she becomes a midnight snack for werepanther Spencer Haverty, his infectious bite invokes the first element of her destiny. When Violet’s budding instincts allow her to save a boy’s life, she realizes this new gig may come with perks: a slimmer figure, the attention of a handsome Guardian, and insights into her future embedded in her mother’s stories. But as push comes to claws, can Violet make the fatal strike against the men threatening her new family, her new home and her first boyfriend in ages?

Editor's Note

Panther Shifter Romance...

Urban fantasy usually features a kickass heroine who won’t back down from anything. In the first book in Arista’s “Urban Panther” series, the heroine doesn’t start out that way, but she evolves into that as she learns what it means to be a panther shifter. The writing is fast and witty, and Arista throws some other curveballs into the urban fantasy template.

Amanda Arista

Amanda Arista was born in Illinois, grew up in Corpus Christi, and lives in Dallas, but her heart lies in London.

She spends her weekends writing at coffee shops, practicing for the day that caffeine intake becomes an Olympic sport, and plotting character demises.

    Solid entertainment, good enough to not want to put down the book! The age old good vs evil plot but very pleasantly surprised ~ read it!

    Funny, unique expressions. Very realistic and likeable main character. Would benefit from another edit and thorough proofreading. Errors make it hard to read in places, and context seems to skip suddenly. Very annoying and almost made me give up on the book. I will start the second book, but if it has the same errors, I will not persist

    This was almost a four star for me, but for the severe need for better proof reading. Fortunately, the errors weren't the "limited grasp of written English" kind but the "need fresh eyes to catch typos" kind. A few times I wondered if something was an error or deliberate (e.g. "winced loudly"). With the number of obvious errors, it's hard to assume it's a creative choice.Still, I enjoyed reading this book. The beginning was strong and although events flowed logically, they weren't so obvious that I could see ending chapters ahead. I appreciated the well-rounded characters and their interactions. As the beginning of a series, the author avoids the mistakes of overloading the story with too many characters or unnecessary world building details.Overall, a little more polish and I would definitely recommend this book. I'm looking forward to future books in this series.

    The train left the station right on time and the people were cheering and waving. And then at about a third of it’s yourney it derailed. It went left, it went right, forward and backward, but sadly never got back om track.
