Nexi Jones—part witch, part guardian, and wannabe kick-ass warrior—can’t throw a punch or conjure the simplest magic. But that doesn’t stop her from hunting the werewolves who slaughtered her human family. She’ll have her revenge, but only if Kyden, the elite guardian, would get the hell out of her way.

Kyden can’t decide if Nexi wants to get herself killed or if she just has no clue what she’s doing. But her father made it clear: keep Nexi safe…or else. Of course, the more Nexi runs toward revenge, the more she needs Kyden’s aid, and as she grows into her power and confidence, so does his desire to protect her. The only problem? She’d rather he dropped dead.

But when a vampire paints a bull's-eye on Nexi’s back, she’s hard-pressed to deny Kyden and the help he’s offering. Even if it means getting her revenge will be a little bit harder. At least it will still be as sweet.

This book starts off with a bang and doesn't let up until the end. There is one cliffhanger moment after another and I found it hard to put this book down after I read it. The story starts off with Nexi Jones watching her parents murder at the hands or teeth of werewolves. As if things couldn't get anymore unbelievable for Nexi, she finds her parents were not her birth parents. The man who saved her from the werewolves that night is her father.

Now Nexi is living in the otherwolrd and she has a choice to make, to live there and train as a guardian and possible witch, or to go back to the human realm and live as a human. The werewolf who killed her adopted parents is still out there, and there is a conspiracy that nobody sees coming and it will take all of Nexi's strength to make it out alive.

I really liked how this story flowed and the world building was fantastic. I did feel like maybe the love interest was rushed, but it was definitely hot and I could feel the chemistry sizzle off the page. I liked how the mystery moved along and I loved that I didn't see that twist in the end. The story is very acation packed. I would almost describe it as an action flick for women. It definitely had some softer sides. It was nice to see Nexi go from scared and unsure to a confident woman. I liked how she grew in the book.

In conclusion, I really liked Werewolves be Damned by Stacey Kennedy and I look forward to reading more stories from this world. If you are looking for a quick and easy read that is full of action and sizzling romance, then pick up this book and read it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I give it four laser pistols.
