Fresh from defending her pack in battle, Natalya Stravinsky, a whip-smart werewolf with a lovable neurotic streak, wants a little rest and relaxation. Once an outcast, she’s now eager to rejoin the ranks of her New Jersey pack, and has even gotten a handle on her obsessive urge to hoard holiday ornaments. Yet Nat barely has time to revel in her progress before the next crisis comes howling at her door.

Nat’s father has suddenly gone missing, captured by the Russian werewolf mafia. And as Nat steps up to save her dad from a mob boss’s deadly game, two men step in to play another round for her heart: her gorgeous alpha ex-boyfriend, Thorn, and her new flame, the sweetly sensitive wizard Nick. With her life growing more harried by the minute, Nat must stay cool, calm, and collected . . . or else risk losing everything.

Kept is the first book of this series I have read. I have not read Conveted but readers of this series say that if you liked reading Coveted, you will like Kept. I had a little trouble catching up because like I said, didn’t read the first book. But that is totally my problem. I do advice you to read Coveted first 🙂

So … After some intro’s and catching up with the previous book Coveted, Kept finally starts!

This book has everything you are looking for in a paranormal Romance or Urban Fantasy. There is this crazy kick-ass heroine, pack life, lover triangle with two sexy men, merfolk, mermaid, werewolves and some wizards. That all packed in a fast-paced story full of action, romance and humor.

One of the things that I loved about this series is the diverent kind of characters. Madison has written some great characters in Kept. I specially liked Natalya’s character and her disability and she just have to learn to live with it! Even as she battles the bad guys and takes on difficult pack challenges she never stops her obsessive hand wiping with her antibacterial wipes. Well Done Shawntelle!
