A Pack of Blood and Lies
by Olivia Wildenstein
Book 1 in The Boulder Wolves
Ness has every reason to hate the pack that threw her away, and the book makes her fight to be seen feel personal. The romance is a slow-burn pressure point inside a werewolf power struggle, which is exactly the kind of messy pack politics shifter readers show up for.
