*This is book 1 of 6 in the Vukodlak Brew Series. While all books in the series can be read as a standalone, you will get more enjoyment (and less potential spoilers) by reading them in order.
**This is an 80,000 word, full length novel, with no cliffhangers, and an HEA. There are a few sexy times where people get naked and do what naked people do, and definitely some crass language. If those things are bothersome, this is not the book for you. Views: 12
