Mate, family, pack, home… can Quinn and Kellan have it all?

Quinn grew up feeling out of place in the small town he calls home. Yearning for something he can’t name, he’s always felt different but never known why.

Kellan is part of a nomadic shifter pack. When they set up camp in the woods near Quinn’s town, the humans are unwelcoming and suspicious of the newcomers. The moment Kellan catches sight—and scent—of Quinn, he knows Quinn is special. But for the first time in his life, Kellan can’t trust his instincts. Quinn is human, and Kellan is a wolf shifter, so how can they ever be mates?

Their bond is instant and exhilarating. It breaks Quinn’s heart to know their relationship can only be temporary. Love isn’t enough when pack law forbids shifters to mate with humans. Tension explodes between pack and humans, and when Quinn discovers a shocking truth about himself that changes everything, he fears he’ll have to choose between the only life he’s ever known and the man he loves.

I used to read contemporary romance by Jay Northcote and love his writing. When I know he write a shifter story in his new project, I can't denied that I got very excited!

I'm SOLD instantly with the blurb and the cover. And when I finally meet Kellan & Quinn, I love the story even more.

The chemistry was there since the first meet, the instant connection between the two feels far from chessy. The perfect pace made the book really hard to put it down. Read it in one shoot and enjoying every part of the story. I can't believe it this is your first shifter story, Jay. You nailed it so well.You should write more about this genre in the future!

The Half Wolf is a sweet shifter story with little bit 'suspense' but with no angst that will warmed your heart.

RECOMMENDED!

One day, Jay decided to try and write a short story—just to see if he could—and found it rather addictive. He hasn’t stopped writing since.

Jay writes contemporary romance about men who fall in love with other men. Jay has five books published by Dreamspinner Press, and he also self-publishes under the imprint Jaybird Press. Many of his books are now available as audiobooks.

Jay is transgender and was formerly known as she/her.
