Sophie Garou has been taming her inner beast for years. With the use of Wolfsbane tea she keeps herself from changing into a werewolf and manages to lead a nearly normal life. Well that is if you don't count having to shave yourself every 2 hours normal. Life however isn't going to stay normal for long. With an email from the Houston werewolf pack with the message which basically says 'join us or die' and strange werewolves turning up in her apartment at all hours it is becoming clear to her that she is no longer alone.

Things would be much easier to keep under control if everyone knew about Sophie's werewolf. Hiding it from her boyfriend Heath, her friend Lindsay and the general population is hard work. Especially now she is partner in the firm and Heath was seen leaving a jewellery store with a ring box. Sophie has to start asking herself what she wants. Does she need a pack? Does she want Heath or one of the other amazingly gorgeous guys who are practically throwing themselves at her.

So what will Sophie do? Can she keep her lone wolf status or will she have to leave the city she has lived in for 20 years? Can she do what the Houston pack have asked of her? Can she keep deceiving her friends? With so much going on in Sophie's life it is no wonder she doesn't realise that someone is already slowly killing her.

Finally book two in Tales of an Urban Werewolf! I needed at least a few chapters to get back into Sophie's world and remember what happened last time in Howling at the Moon. This second part in the series was just as good, if not better than book one and it is definitely a series I am seriously going to follow. I only hope that there isn't such a long wait until book three hits the shelves!

Sophie is fun, independent and furry! She is your everyday career women who has a hair problem and just wants to live her life. The hits keep coming and she keeps fighting back and although she is obviously in need of some time to sort out her relationship problems she knows what she wants. If you like werewolves, strong female characters and some humour then this is worth your time. Karen MacInerery smells like MaryJanice Davidson and Carrie Vaughn but still manages to have a unique scent.
