Prey (Wolves of Winter Creek #1)
Sarah Spade
Of course, I didn't know that until after I agreed to visit her in her secluded home.
When I pull into town, I almost regret my impulsive decision to take this trip. Bordered on all sides by rivers and mountains and dense forests, Winter Creek is a trap. Once you get in, it's just as difficult to leave. No one has cars here or internet service, and my own phone is a glorified paperweight as soon as I step off the train.
Speaking of the train... I discover too late that it arrives on its rickety tracks once a week if you're lucky. And, of course, there's the small matter of the town's curse .
Turns out there's a reason why my estranged grandmother finally got in touch with me for the first time in twenty-five years. In Winter's Creek, there's a curse involving a coven of witches, the feral wolf who haunts the dark forest, and a woman from seventy years ago who looks enough like me to convince my grandmother that I'm the only one who can break it at last.
When I refuse, I discover that my grandmother isn't just the head witch of Winter Creek—she's the one responsible for the curse that's kept the town in stasis for the last seventy years. To break it, she's willing to do whatever she has to, including sacrificing me to the big, black wolf that's been lurking in the shadows, watching me since my arrival. Because the beast in the woods is hungry, and I'm the perfect prey...

* Prey is the first in a new trilogy featuring Fallon Witt, a human woman who doesn't know anything about the paranormal—until she's thrown headfirst into it when she arrives in a town stopped in time, full of witches and wolf shifters. While partly inspired by Beauty and the Beast, the first book also has elements of Little Red Riding Hood—though, in this series, the big, bad wolf is the hero, and her grandmother is the true danger in the woods of Winter Creek...
