When that trap snaps closed and severs a man’s leg, the case is flung wide open.Ĭan an attractive mate help Stanzie solve the mystery? Or will she lose her lead – and her life – in her journey to uncover the dark underbelly of intrigue and corruption in some of the wolf packs? Stanzie helps resolve territorial disputes between wolf packs, but these tensions grow higher (and deadlier) than ever when someone lays out a bear trap. What you’ll get is a sexy new spin on the classic werewolf narrative. If you want to get an idea of what this book is about, take wolf shapeshifters, add in some “Something-is-rotten-in-Denmark” politics, and sprinkle in a deadly whodunnit. In Across The Line, heroine Stanzie is a smart woman who might be falling for an Irishman’s wolfy smile. Amy Lee Burgess is a powerhouse paranormal romance writer, and her book Across The Line is the sixth installment of her The Wolf Within series.

In fact, if it wasn’t for my brothers and their endless antics, I wouldn’t be considered a Wild One at all. I’m on the bottom tier of those, so technically I’m not as crazy as the other Wild Ones. And the four craziest families in town are called the Wild Ones. We rank people based on just how crazy they are. You can call it a "locational" hazard, if you will.

Where it fails is attributing the horror to the devil. Imaginary Friend has some wonderfully unnerving scenes throughout and truly does delivers on the horror.
