How Ari and Mason meet is clever and the best (and most exciting) introduction for a hero and heroine I've read in a long time. Dylan Newton has a talent for the paranormal, making it feel normal and real. This is only the second werewolf story I've read, and Dylan did it so effortlessly that I didn't have a problem understanding werewolf ways or their world. She wrote about Ari in wolf form so well I could clearly picture a wolf doing everything she described.

I absolutely love Ari! She's not your typical heroine, which is why she's so refreshing. She has uni brow problems and underarm hair long enough to braid (after she's been in wolf form for a long time). And she's a tough cookie, a true Alpha female with a sharp tongue and incredible powers. She's so real, and so much fun!

And Mason is one sexy man-beast! He is handsome, strong and seductive . . . the right combination. I wish I had a Mason in my life (lion tattoo and all) to cook me vanilla pudding. *wink*

Despite the Fangs is a steamy, funny and thrilling story all in one. The secrets that unfold are juicy (And boy, there are a lot of them!), and there were twists I did not expect. Despite the Fangs isn't just a paranormal romance, it's also an action-adventure. The moments leading up to the climax are exciting and unpredictable, and the ending is perfect. I can't wait to read more about Ari and Mason!
