To escape her violent ex, Charlotte flees her home in the middle of the night with nothing but the cash in her pocket and a paper map leading her north to Alaska. She sheds her old self along the way: dyeing her hair, scrubbing off her fake California tan, and pawning all her jewelry. None of it is worth anything if she cant stay alive.
Alone in the wilderness, Charlotte feels safe at last. Even if shes lost, even if shes only got a burner phone that lost its last bar miles ago, and even if she missed her turn and cant find the cabin she was promised by a friend. Tucked into a sleeping bag in the back seat of her ancient truck, shes finally living life on her own terms.
But that feeling is short-lived. In the middle of the woods, Charlottes attacked, brutally, unforgivinglyand something bites her leg. And its a bite that will change her life forever.
Ultimately, Charlotte's survival comes down to finding her own inner strength, supported by budding friendships with the werewolves and vampires around her. The well-developed characters make this an easy read that is set up nicely for additional books in the series.
