Just One Drop by Quinn Loftis

Just One Drop (Grey Wolves, #3)

by Quinn Loftis

A wolf.
A girl.
And a whole lot of awkward.

Jennifer Adams, best friend to a werewolf and a gypsy healer, is spicy, outspoken, a little crazy, and completely human...or so she thought. Jen has just found out that human DNA isn't the only thing that resides in her veins. She happens to share that little pesky werewolf gene, although it isn't more than just a drop. Now that she and her friends are living in Romania with Fane's pack, she is oh-so-conveniently stuck with the object of her affection, the broody furball, Decebel. Drawn to each other by something they don't understand, Jen finds herself frustrated that there are no mating signs. But she doesn't have time to dwell on it. Because she is a recently discovered Canis lupus, she must attend a multi-pack gathering designed for the sole purpose of discovering new mated pairs. This type of gathering hasn't taken place in over a century, but with a shortage of females among the werewolf population, the males are worried they won't ever find their true mates. Meanwhile, Decebel struggles with the emotions he feels towards Jennifer. He tries to keep his distance, but there is just something about the mouthy blonde that keeps him coming back for more of her verbal abuse. Apparently, he can't seem to get enough of it. Go figure.

Jacque and Fane are now properly mated (and married), and they're back in Romanian with the rest of the pack and Jacque's two best friends. Jennifer got a huge shock during her friend's blood rites ceremony: she has werewolf blood, too! It's just one drop, but it's enough to make her part of the pack. She's now one of the very few females that can be mated to the male wolves. Of course, she already has her eyes set on one in particular, Decebel, who's been watching her back.

My favorite part about Just One Drop was that we got to delve deeper into werewolf history and customs. In the first two books the plot was almost completely focused on the romance, but this time we get some actual world building. An old tradition is being reinstated, where all unmated wolves come together for The Gathering. Jen and Dec are not happy about having to attend, since they won't be able to spend time along together. They would if the mating signs would appear, but they haven't, so to the other packs they are not true mates.

Since Jen is the star of this book, there's a whole lot of scheming going it. This one is a lot more fun than the previous two since Jen makes sure something is always happening. The nefarious plot doesn't really start until around 80%, and then it ends on a cliffhanger! That is not fair at all! We also get to know Sally better this time around, and of course there's something special about her, too. Now, I guess I have to get my hands on the fourth book!
