Chapter Recaps

It’s Christmas

She’s turning down another job (technically not she hands it to ronnie who is more equipped to handle this type of job.)


She goes on a date with Richard (guys and dolls)

Jean Claude shows up and reveals some tea apparently the wolf pack leader wants anita involved and Richard is trying to keep her out of course as he should. Anita is pissed because Richard kept things from her. She meets a lady vampire who is obsessed with Jean Claude, tells her to keep him (I would to)

We go to a crime scene in the middle of BFN in the snow in a skirt and heels. Almost get shot by an overzealous racist deputy.


Trolls exist just pausing on that factoid.

.

We have a murder that was a shapeshifter but not necessarily a lycanthrope


She goes home to find irving there. Irving explains that there was a pack leader brawl and richard is too much of a golden retriever


The local Werewolf pack leader is marcus and he wants to speak with Anita. Richard is being overprotective of his woman.


“Irving knew me better than Richard did, that was not a comforting thought.”


We meet marcus who has some very interesting rules of dominance for his pack and apparently for the other were creatures who do not like it. He tries to control Anita, she does not take too kindly to that. She kill his second in command, and then a feeding frenzy happens

We see Raphael the rat king again. He’s a nice guy we like him. Also there’s a new were creature named casper, he’s a swan. Also Marcus is a controlling butthole oh and Edwards back in town.


"For this one night let death take care of himself"

Ch 13

So we look through the file and discover missing lycanthropes. Many of them

And Edward has a film.


Ch 14

Christmas shopping with Ronnie and Anita admitting that Richard has been lying to her. Girl talk with Ronnie that surprising did not result in both of them getting attacked.


Ch 15

So we have a reporter wanting to meet a we're rat which Anita could possibly set up and( how does Burt know that?) and Casper needing a curse removed and Burt being annoying 😑 

Ch 16

So Marcus is asking For forgiveness in a monetary manner. Anita is making a talking date with Richard who is pissed about the blood rage from the previous night. And Casper is cursed hmmm


Ch 17

Hold up wait a minute, we went from angry at each other to steamy to demanding marriage before they Do the do. And she said yes ahhhh

Also close to spice but still no spice.


Ch18

I was in a man's hotel room watching porn good girls didn't do that.


So we go some were creature born and a murder on camera. And Anita is now considered a rogue dominant which is hilarious and richard is like now you gotta fix it.


Is it weird that Edward knows Anita's Habbits enough that he ordered her two dinners and knows how she likes her steaks. And she claims there's nothing between them but I think he might be the better choice even if he is a sociopathic murderer


Ch 19

So that happened. Umm Richard had a control issue and Edward did as expected and now Anita is having a crisis of faith in poor Richard


Ch 20

It's Sunday Richard has pack business and is upset with Anita and Anita is interviewing a wererat named Luis who is Richard's friend and he is stubborn but it's nice to know that Reina is out for herself and not just Marcus


Ch 21

Gretchen the sexy vampire obsessed lady vampire attacks Anita Lois saves her she admits she loves Richard and is engaged to him to save lots and Gretchen demands she tell Jean Claude that's going to be fun


Ch 22

So to save Louis she had to call Richard, he brought Stephen and they had a little heart to heart in front of Stephen. Anita is still questioning her life choices but at least she admitted she loved Richard and that she would kill to protect him.


Ch 23

They said I love you too each other, ahhhhh


Ch 24

So Jean Claude has some interesting powers over his creations. That's terrifying


Ch 25

So we have an agreement, our femme fatale is going to date our sexy vampire in a trial run?


Ch 26

I'm disappointed in Jean Claude like why would you not protect your people or the woman you're trying to woo like why?

And why are you working for Reina poor Casper


Ch 27

So Anita tells Richard that she has to date Jean Claude he takes it rather calmly but At least no one has to die. Although he had to cook a meal to keep himself From storming the strip club which is a sentence I did not think I would write but here we are.


Ch 28

So there's a skin I don't understand but Dolph is calling and needs Anita and suddenly Richard is overprotective again.


Zebrowski, a man of honesty, he's not such a bad guy And he gave Anita another crisis to think about


Ch 29

So Nagas are a thing in this universe, umm yeah I really need to read the Naga brides


Ch 30

Jean Claude showing up and a werewolf-vampire-necromancer power exchange, no idea


Ch 31

So she's kicked both guys out, I like it. Although this weird trifecta that's occurring is interesting. Although her revoking Jean Claude's invitation was peak


Ch 32 - 34

So umm Ronnie solved a murder but not all the murders. And we now know that Gabriel is the other guy that Edward was hired to kill, and Edward's been shadowing Reina wow


Ch 35

It was Elvira, I thought her name had something to do with it


Ch 36 - 37

No not Zebrowski


Ch 38

Oh know Williams is in trouble and there's some hyenas


"If you hurt him I will feed you your dick on a fork"


We're going on an adventure with Richard and Edward


Ch 39

Dang well that was a good ending. Our cops got what they deserved.
