Synopsis
Spring has finally arrived along the shores of Lake Erie and no one is happier than skunk shifter, Templeton Reed. Now that the snows have melted, he can frolic and play on the grounds of Lupei Manor, the formidable home that he shares with his life partner, Mikel Lupei, the alpha of the Lake Erie pack. What a pity that his joy is short lived. Not only does a stranger appear to shake things up in the manor, bodies begin showing up on the grounds as well! Could the newcomer to the pack be the one viciously killing innocent humans and shifters? Or is there a more nefarious force at work lurking just outside the boundaries of the ancient manse Templeton, Mikel, and their LGBT friends call home?Lupei Manor houses the alpha of Lake Erie pack Mikel Lupei, who is gay and has a life partner Templeton Reed, who is the skunk shifter. Lupei Manor is a haven to all shifters who are straight, bi or gay and for some reason not accepted by their packs. Everyone works on keeping this secret kept from anyone outside of the Manor.
Life was progressing as normal, especially with the full moon, which made all the werewolves total sex hounds!! That was until Templeton was woken to be told that there had been a body found. This was just the start of the nightmare at Lupei Manor, and nobody knew why it was happening. It was Templeton who managed to solve the mystery, and with the most unlikely help.
I really did enjoy this book, in fact I have read it twice!! I love the sub characters in the book, from Rugby (who manages to scare Templeton every time he appears), to Vincente (who is a vampire), and many others. They all add to the story in their own way, and I really loved the comments from the cook when Mikel walks into the kitchen naked and scares the staff!!
If you like a shifter book, with mystery thrown in then this is the book for you. I can pretty much guarantee that the twists in the story will keep you reading until the end. I should also mention that it has some rather hot sex scenes in it, especially when it was the full moon, Mikel was rather insatiable.
