At the heart of an unending war between the border wolf clans of the Skoglunds and Kletts is a deep-seated grudge born of loss, bloodshed, and an insatiable hunger for control over resources. Like their predecessors, Bodild Skoglund, heiress to the Skoglund Alpha throne, and Einar Klett, heir to the Klett throne, will stop at nothing to see their arch-rivals wiped off the face of the earth. However, during one of their bloody face-offs, the pair is bonded by a mysterious force. A seer declares it the passing of a prophecy, which, if violated, will be the end of each clan. Bound by a force they can’t control and a fate they can’t escape, the pair is faced with the struggle of embracing everything that goes against the foundations of their bloodlines. Bodild must love her mortal enemy, and Einar, the very person he exists to destroy. What will come of this union, which they consider a curse? In the wake of the truce brought by the duo’s union, loyalties shift and tensions rise as clan hardliners scheme in the shadows. Will the duo survive the storm of trouble headed their way? Find out in Riordan Yun’s The Enemy in My Veins.

This tour de force novel will seize you by the scruff of your neck, propel you forward, and remain relentless until the final word. If you are looking for a gripping paranormal romance, Riordan Yun’s The Enemy in My Veins is a must-read. Promising bursts of intense action, high-stakes drama, adventure, visceral thrills, and a compelling, dynamic cast, Yun expertly unfolds an ingenious plot that fully delivers on the initially built intrigue. The attention paid to detail is just enough not to bog down the pace of the plot. The edge of the seat suspense, spellbinding cliffhangers, and jaw-dropping plot twists hooked me. The evocative depictions brought the scenes to life on the pages. It felt like I was next to the cast in every scene, experiencing the brutal wars, pack politics, surprise attacks, betrayal, jealousy, loathing, rage, and more. The sharp dialogue gave depth to the cast’s conflicts, emotions, and traits, allowing me to connect with them. I loved this book.
