As a bookish, introverted database programmer, Morgen Keller never thought she was a candidate for a midlife crisis. That was before her husband divorced her, her boss let her go, and her grandmother died. Forty wasn't supposed to look like this. When Morgen heads up to the small town of Bellrock, Washington, to settle the estate, she looks forward to taking a peaceful break from life and figuring out what she's going to do next. But peace isn't to be had. The old farmhouse is full of witch paraphernalia, a fearsome werewolf has claimed the property, and contrary to what the family was told, Grandma didn't die of natural causes. Embroiled in a mystery, and heir to powers she knew nothing about, Morgen must turn to the only person who might be able to help: the werewolf who threatened to rip her throat out for trespassing. This isn't the fresh start on life that Morgen had in mind. A Witch in Wolf Wood is perfect for fans of mystery, magic, slow-burn romance, and second chances.

The banter is getting old and the books are getting very formularic. The chatty female protagonist and the gruff but honorable male protagonist. The MC is a rational programmer, doesn't believe in magic and the supernatural, but doesn't bat an eye when she ends up i a town full of wherewolves and witch coves. Because those pecs.... There are other books I like to delve in to.
I went in to this book without any real expectations, and was pleasantly surprised.
Fun characters, a good sense of geeky humour, and no endlessly stretched out scenes just for the sake of it.
Looking forward to reading the other 4 in the series.
DNF. I read 42% of the book before stopping as I lost interest. The story was promising, but I was annoyed at the constant references to her veganism and diet. Yes, I get it, the werewolf likes meat and you can't eat it anymore due to health reasons. The character spends more time musing over her diet rather than trying to figure out who may have killed her grandmother. I lost patience.
I did like that the protagonist was an older woman, rather than a teenager, and I did like how it was written. I just lost interest. Maybe I'll try to finish it another time and give it another shot.
