Everyone knows taking a roommate is a lottery. For Corey Ferguson, it’s been way more. Corey’s had to live for months with the hottest, most amazing guy he’s ever met. And while eye candy is always nice, his roommate Sebastian is also ridiculously straight, and there’s only so much unrequited affection Corey’s poor heart can withstand.
In a bid to put his doomed feelings behind him, Corey agrees to go on a blind date with another man. And that’s when things start getting really strange.
Unbeknownst to Corey, Sebastian is a werewolf. Since moving in he’s been trying to woo Corey, but with no visible results. Who knew humans had such complicated mating rituals? It’s so much easier for werewolves, but humans always have to do things in a long-winded manner, and half the time, Sebastian doesn’t even know which way is up.
He makes tentative plans to confess his feelings, when suddenly his mate is snatched from him by some stranger. No, this cannot be. He refuses to allow it. No one gets in the way of a werewolf and his mate.
But between his rival, his secret, and his inability to figure out a way to Corey’s heart, can Sebastian succeed in claiming his mate, or will Corey always remain just the werewolf’s roomie?
This is a very good book. I loved the premise of the story, and it is definitely a sexy read. The length is perfect for an afternoon of hot werewolf steaminess. Corey is living with the hottest guy he has ever seen. Being gay, he feels tortured by the strong and sexy Sebastian. Corey believes that Sebastian is as straight as they come. He has seen a woman just jump up on Sebastian and kiss him. The second problem is that Corey is a nerd, whereas Sebastian is all Jock. He also throws rowdy parties, breaking things and trashing the apartment. When he gets to the point where he thinks he is going to lose his mind over Sebastian, he visits with his friend, Marcy, who sets him up with her neighbor Ross. Little does Corey know that Sebastian has no idea how to woo a human. His pack has been trying to help, but as they are in the same boat, they are no help.When Sebastian hears of the date, his instincts kick in to high gear and subtlety goes out the window. Their bond cannot be denied. Ross, being a great guy, backs off for Sebastian, but then the story takes some fascinating turns. Will Corey be able to accept who Sebastian really is? What happens to Ross? Can Sebastian and Corey come together and be a couple? Or are they too different? What about Sebastian's family? Could they accept a human and the fact he is a man? What will the future hold? Grab this book if you love twists and sexy werewolves. This is a very hot read, perfect for a cool night.

Gruesome murders begin to pop up in River County, and Rune is introduced to the bird shifters--to one bird in particular, a woman named Cree Stark.
When she gets a whiff of the shifters' scents where COS had been executing a grisly sacrifice, Rune begins to suspect the birds know more about the slayers--and the twins--than they're willing to admit.
Nothing is more important to Shiv Crew than finding Levi and Denim, but when Lex psychically connects with the twins, it isn't good news she brings back.
As always, COS is at the center of it all.
The world is beginning to look at the church differently, thanks to the tireless work of Bill Rice and others like him. The humans' acceptance is turning to fear.
And what people fear, they hate.
What the slayers are planning next will either finish them for good or give them everything they've ever wanted--Karin Love and unchallenged power.
Rune and the crew race against time to save River County from the biggest monster they've faced yet.
If they fail, the church will be closer than ever to their dream of creating an Otherless world.
In Obsidian Wings, Rune hides a devastating physical weakness, makes an important choice in her love life, and gains a new understanding that will help her face the future.
No matter what happens, their world is changing.
The crew is growing.
And so is Rune Alexander.
This book was awesome there was so much going on! We see COS again (I really hate those guys) and we get to meet a new kind of Other which is really cool because in each new book we get a new look at the different kinds of Others. Many things happen that are so unexpected I didn't see them coming. Be warned some parts may make you cry, this was a very emotional read for me and I love when books do that, it shows the author has managed to make me connect with their characters and those are the best kinds of books =D. Another great addition to the series.
