Shawntelle
Madison’s KEPT was an entertaining urban fantasy that this reader absolutely
enjoyed.
Natalya
Stravinsky, werewolf, holiday ornament hoarder and obsessive compulsive from
Toms River, New Jersey has been outcast from her pack, but has finally been
accepted back into her family again. In
KEPT, Nat’s father has been taken by the Russian werewolf mafia and it’s up to
Nat and her two love interests, the wizard Nick from her group therapy sessions
and alpha ex-lover werewolf Thorn to help her get her dad back. With her last chance at regaining entrance
back into her pack looming, and her love life in disarray, Nat has her work set
out for her.
Having never
read the first book in Shawntelle Madison’s Coveted series, this reader had no
real expectations when picking up KEPT.
But it didn’t take long to realize this quirky urban romance was going
to be a good one. First of all, the
story takes place in New Jersey, this reader’s home state. Most of the action takes place in Atlantic
City and involves Nat trying to pay off a debt her father owes to a Russian
mobster. While this all takes place, Nat
is trying to figure out her love life (both the alpha werewolf and the wizard
seem equally strong contenders with their own set of strengths and weaknesses). Throw in her OCD and its resulting problems
and you just know you have to read this one.
Fast paced, quirky characters and an interesting storyline within a
storyline, Shawntelle Madison’s KEPT is well worth the investment in time and
shelf space.
