Product Description
Product Description
Annie Engel hasn’t been feeling herself lately. With good reason. A mousy secretary by day, she’s been morphing into a werewolf at night. In the morning, she’s not quite sure what she’s been up to, but she knows she’d like to do it again. She soon discovers that her odd dreams and strange hangovers are actually the remnants of a night out on the prowl.
But Annie’s predatory activities have not gone unnoticed, and soon she is being pursued by one hapless reporter, a psychiatrist who wants to save her from her beastly impulses, and another (guy) werewolf who captures her heart. Who is a nice werewolf to trust? Get ready for a manic, madcap chase through the dank underbelly of the big city, a place where no one seems to sleep and the scents of fear and desire are always in the air.

The book kicks off when the central character Annie Engel starts transforming into a werewolf ever full moon and starts ripping peoples throats out. She also learns shes not alone when she is introduced to the centre.She even falls in love with another werewolf. But all is not what it seems.
Sparkle Hayter is an excellent writer.In this novel she manages to write a novel about werewolves which is in turns believable, blackly humoured and sweet.All this while managing to expose the really scary creatures who surround us everyday. The bussinessmen and politicians who lie, cheat,steal and even murder to make money.
I highly recommend this book. I also recommend the What's a girl gotta do? and all the Robin Hudsen mysteries by the same author.

In reading “NAKED BRUNCH”, I enjoyed the way the author tied in the stories of the main characters (e.g., Annie Engel, Jim, Dr. Marco, Sam), thus making for a harmonious whole. It's a refreshing morality tale and provides an interesting departure from the usual werewolf fare. Annie Engel, both as a woman and as a werewolf, has a big heart and soul. She is representative of those of us who are sickened by the rich and powerful, who, time and again, place profit and personal gain over the best interests of humanity. Consequently, we feel frustrated by our relative powerlessness as individuals to do anything to stop the amoral robber barons and 'merchants of death' in today's world. At least, when Annie becomes a Wolf, she can sniff out these amoral powerbrokers and hunt them down. She's a righteous Wolf!
