Newly indoctrinated witch, Defiance Dayne, discovers there’s more to life after forty than she’d ever imagined possible. Especially if one is a charmling, one of only three in the world, with enough magics to make her a target for every power-hungry warlock out there. When one of them sends a hunter to town, she knows it’s time to take her talents seriously before the hunter takes her life.

She decides she has three things to do before she can die. Find out who killed her beloved grandmother, teach her BFF the finer points of spellcasting before she blows up the world, and figure out how serious her relationship with the Adonis living in her basement really is. If it’s heading in the direction she’s hoping for, she can die happy. Though, admittedly, she’d rather not. Die. Happy or otherwise.

None of that will matter, however, if she can’t figure out how to foil the supernatural assassin who’s been sent for her. Until then, it’s business—and hopefully romance—as usual. Now if she can only figure out how to tame a lacuna wolf.

Darynda Jones books are definitely my guilty pleasure books — a little steamier and sometimes more supernatural than I usually prefer, but her humor, her character development, and her creativity simply fascinate me.

In the third book in the series, Defiance has to make some decisions about her budding romance, someone keeps trying to kill her grandmother (again), and she continues to grow in her magic. The chemistry between all of the characters (whether it’s the physical romantic attraction or the lifetime of friendship between best friends) is stellar and the blend of humor and heart break in engaging. And, once again, the narrator for the audiobooks is spectacular.

If you enjoyed Jones’s Charley Davidson series, I highly recommend this one.

R-rated for sex, swearing, and violence.
