The Slaughtered Lamb Bookstore & Bar
(2020)(The first book in the Sam Quinn series)
A novel by Seana Kelly
A master class in storytelling and survival. Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Welcome to The Slaughtered Lamb Bookstore and Bar. Im Sam Quinn, the werewolf book nerd in charge. I run my business by one simple rule: Everyone needs a good book and a stiff drink, be they vampire, wicche, demon, or fae. No wolves, though. Ever. I have my reasons.
I serve the supernatural community of San Francisco. Weve been having some problems lately. Okay, Im the one with the problems. The broken body of a female werewolf washed up on my doorstep. What makes sweat pool at the base of my spine, though, is realizing the scars she bears are identical to the ones I conceal. After hiding for years, Ive been found.
A protection Ive been relying on is gone. While my wolf traits are strengthening steadily, the loss also left my mind vulnerable to attack. Someone is ensnaring me in horrifying visions intended to kill. Clive, the sexy vampire Master of the City, has figured out how to pull me out, designating himself my personal bodyguard. Hes grumpy about it, but that kiss is telling a different story. A change is taking place. It has to. The bookish bartender must become the fledgling badass.
Im a survivor. Ill fight fang and claw to protect myself and the ones I love. And lets face it, they have it coming.

"Kelly (Welcome Home, Katie Gallagher) introduces fierce, lovable heroine Sam Quinn with this master class in storytelling and survival. Seven years ago, Sam was attacked, raped, and forcibly turned into a werewolf, putting an end to her life as she knew it. Shes since made a home for herself in San Francisco, opening a combination bookstore/bar catering exclusively to the supernatural community. A loner by nature and still contending with her trauma, shes content to lie low without a wolf pack of her own. But when dead bodies begin piling up across the city and Sam receives a threat from an unknown source, she finds herself surrounded by a phalanx of friends she never realized she had. Among them is Clive, the leader of the citys vampire community, whose good looks attract Sam ��like a zombie to brains. Kelly pulls off an impressive feat, weaving the sensitively handled story of Sams emotional recovery through a rollicking adventure. The unique setting and endearingly quirky side characters only add to the charm. Readers will delight in both the humor and the heartache of this powerful urban fantasy, and theyll be eager to see where Sam goes next. (Publishers Weekly (starred review))
"This action-packed paranormal series launch will appeal to readers who enjoy a plot-driven, female-centric journey of growth with a side of romance. Great for fans of Patricia Briggss Alpha and Omega series. (Book Life (Editors pick))
Genre: Paranormal Romance
