Unleashed by Bella Jacobs Tour Stop: Review

 Welcome to my stop for the Unleashed by Bella Jacobs Blog Tour:  Check out my 4 star Review, and don't forget the GIVEAWAY!!!!!!

 About the Book:
Title: UNLEASHED
Author: Bella Jacobs
Pub. Date: August 17, 2018
Publisher: Bella Jacobs Books
Formats: Paperback, eBook
Pages: 298

One woman on the run. Four dangerously sexy bodyguards. And a war brewing that will change the shifter world forever…

I’m living on borrowed time, fighting for survival against a deadly new virus that has no cure and a cult doing its best to brainwash me. But when a mysterious note shows up on my windowsill one night, its chilling message--Run, Wren--launches me out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Within hours, everything I thought I knew about my life, my family, and my origins is obliterated, and I'm racking up enemies at an alarming rate. Between the cult I've just escaped, a violent shifter faction out for my blood, and an ancient evil who eats "chosen ones" like me for breakfast, my last hope is to join forces with four dangerous-looking men who claim they were sent to guard my life.

Luke, a werewolf with a rap sheet. Creedence, a lynx shifter who never met a mark he couldn’t con. Kite, a bear kin with a mean right hook and heart of gold. And Dust, my childhood best friend and dude voted least likely to be a secret shape-shifting griffin.

But are these men really what they seem?

Or are my alpha guardians hiding a secret agenda of their own?

I’m not sure, but one thing is for certain—choosing the right allies will mean the difference between life and death. For me, and everyone I love.

UNLEASHED is book one in the Dark Moon Shifter’s series. It is a true reverse harem featuring one woman and her four mates.

 About Bella:
Bella Jacobs loves pulse-pounding action, fantasy, and supernaturally high stakes, mixed with swoon-worthy romance and unforgettable heroes. She's been a full time writer for over a decade and hit the USA Today Bestseller list multiple times in contemporary romance under her other pen name. She writes as Bella for her trips to the dark side and can't wait to take you on her next adventure. xo! 

 REVIEW......
The concept of this book was very intriguing.  A reverse harem?!?!?!?  Well how very Laurel K. Hamilton of you ;).   That being said, if you are a fan of Hamilton's Vampire hunter series, you will enjoy the concept of this book very much. 

Let''s talk Unleashed...... I was sooo falling for Kite, then we met Ghost/ aka Dust, and Creedence, (he can drive.... let me telll ya!!) and last we meet our temperamental Luke.....  When I say HOTT!!!! I mean HOTT!!!! with two Ts.  :) 
This book is very fast paced!   I enjoyed the movement and the story flows perfectly through the book.   The Idea of the Meltdown, and the Church, and the overall WTF is on point!!!!!  The Author truly knows how to weave detail and swoon worthy scenes together to make this book a stand out!   The action scenes are packed with everything you could want.   Please Please Please don't miss out on this book!!!! If you enjoy a well written, fast paced, action packed, sexy shifters, and powerful women..... you will thoroughly enjoy this book!!!!!

4/5 Paws!!!
