Anax Tobias Rogan, ruler of all werewolves in the United States, has never liked Christmas. But this year, his mate, vegan werewolf Kyle Slidell, and their young guard Quinn Boucher are eager to celebrate, and Tobias is trying to find the holiday spirit. He’s even planned the perfect gift for Kyle, one he hopes will revitalize the relationship that has been frayed by Tobias claiming the rank of Anax.
A call from Jed Howe, the Alpha who took in Tobias after he was changed as a teen, changes everything. Jed has slipped into dementia and believes the Alpha of a nearby pack is trying to steal his rank. Although Tobias manages to calm Jed, he knows the time he has dreaded has come. Jed is no longer fit to rule a pack, and Tobias must intervene before he causes any harm.
But before Tobias is able to stop him, Jed takes drastic and dangerous action against the other Alpha. Now Tobias, battling his own demons, is faced with the most difficult task of his life: Removing the man he considers a father from his rank--permanently.
This book includes references to abuse and sexual assault in characters' pasts, depictions of PTSD, and the off-page suicide of a character.

This is book 8 in the Real Werewolves Don't Eat Meat series and, sadly, you do need to read in order or you won't have a clue what's going on. There is a little back information but you just wouldn't enjoy this like you should.
Having said that, this is one of my top Werewolf reads. It's unique, (and don't just think from the title it's going to sparkle because you couldn't be farther off base) there is a slight touch of humor, and some heat, also some Angst.
There are a few trigger warnings as mention of rape of two characters, violence and a type of dementia. It's handled very well but could be an issue for some. Now having said this, the characters are amazing. It is two mated MCs through the series with a little ups and downs, no cheating.
The world building is fabulous, and I love how part of the world is almost like a character in itself. There's ongoing plot mostly in the character growth, packs and title Tobias now has but each book has a major subplot that is like a suspense and solved by end of the book.
Oh, and this one has a little holiday theme so here you go... Christmas in July.
I hope you take a chance on this series and start it. I'm looking forward to Quinn's next book, a spinoff series.
If you like committed characters, werewolves (yes one is vegan) suspense, a little spice, good friendships and unique characters; then this is for you.
