For seventeen years Alexis “Lexi” Turner has been running. From foster homes, creeps on the street and the law.
Lexi is a survivor, she has spent her whole life moving from one abusive foster home to the next, until she decided to take charge of her own life. Living in abandoned buildings, couch surfing and working at a strip clubs were a huge improvement on what she had before. All she needs is enough money to feed herself, finish high school and hopefully go to college.
She has a plan. That is until she is caught and sent to live with a strange foster family up-state, —her new high school isn’t much better.
Rafferty King was forced like Lexi to this new foster home, but he fits in better. And that’s saying something for a total misfit. Hot as hell and getting into fights, while ignoring her existence. Whatever.
Then there are the twins Ranger and Maverick, also known as “The joker and The Loner.” They know who she is and give her the new girl treatment she is all too familiar with.
And how can a history teacher look that hot, there should be rules against that kind of thing. But there is something about Galen Donovani, that has Lexi feeling safe when he is near. While everyone else avoids him.
What the hell is going on in the state of Washington. And why are there so many wolves roaming at Port Willow High!

My Review
Lexi is on the run. She is a foster child but has run away for reasons we don’t know yet. Of course, she gets caught, but there are curious references, like what she is and info about her past, that we are missing. Rafferty is also a curious character as he comes into the story at the same time Lexis’s world is changing.
She has some strange encounters at her new school, and I need help figuring out where the author is going with this story. However, I do like its unpredictable nature. Galen, the teacher’s POV, and his being a vampire finally add a paranormal explanation to this story.
If this story is a teacher/student romance, it will be very strange. All the men in the story are weird: Maverick, Ranger, Raf, and especially the teacher. This book has some bully romance vibes, with the shifters from one pack targeting the outcast Shifter and wanting to mate with Lexi simultaneously. But the boys are brutal in this book in how they behave.
So, the Paranormal World Shifter’s secret is now out to Lexi, but you still need to learn what she is. Oh, the Twilight references come into play. So far, this book could be more thrilling.
Things become more normal between Lexi and Ranger and intimate with Raf, but the story has yet to end. This story ends with almost a reverse harem, but more must be determined. There were little enemies to lovers themeing with her and a few certain men in the storyline.
It was an okay read, but it could have been better. We never did discover why she was different. The men did get along by the end of the book, but her mystery was never solved. I’m not interested in reading the series further.
