A Wolf After My Own Heart by MaryJanice Davidson book review


Well, heeeeeeelllllllooooooo Oz Adway, our sexy wolf shifter accountant. Oz has recently decided to dabble in investigating social work cases of cub shifters, which is quite the departure from accounting. As you can expect, his first case is a doozy. Readers will be introduced to Lila Kai, an ordinary “stable” (human). However, she doesn’t even flinch at the idea of there being a shifter community, so there is something obviously unique about her. As the story starts, she is moving into a cursed house and takes in a wearbear cub. Totally normal, right? Oz is tasked with finding the cub and it’s also a bit of a test to see if he has what it takes to be Interspecies Placement Agency investigator. This book is a great follow up to Bears Behaving Badly, where we first meet Oz. 

In this world, weird is the norm. If you like paranormal romance with lots of humor than this book is for you. Davidson has a talent for the strange and the weird being funny. It’s unexpected to crack up during a suspense arc, but it totally happens in these books. It’s what makes them unique. It’s definitely more focused on the mystery and a bit less on the steamy romance, but there is a happily ever after. I would argue that Lila totally deserved getting something good in life and Oz is just the man to be with. One of my favorite details about Lila is that she drives a decommissioned ambulance and people kept mistaking her for a real EMT. So, she did go and get EMT training, but didn’t do it as her job. It was kind of a backup because of what she drove. 

The mystery part of the story is about trying to dismantle the shifter trafficking ring. There are kernels of truth within the story about racism and supremacist groups. They are not in your face, but are the foundation for the shifters going missing. This book is fun, with enough action and suspense to make you keep reading well after bedtime. If you love shifter paranormal romance, this series is for you!
