***I received this book from Netgalley for my honest review***This is a short story. So I have rated it as a short story, not as a full length well developed novel. As a short story goes this one was quite good.Emma is in trouble, her pack leader has gone crazy the pack has fallen, taken over my Liam and his sickness. The only person who could help her, her mate Kyle, is long gone, betrayed by her and his pack.But when Liam gets his followers to hold her down while he bites her, infecting her wi...

This was a novella from an author I love. Her other werewolf series is quirky urban fantasy. It has everything from werewolves to wizards, mermaids, nymphs and witches plus plenty more. They all seem to be dysfunctional in a way that makes them all unlikely friends. So, given how much I love that series and my love of werewolves, I expected a lot from this short story. Unfortunately, it wasn't my favorite. The characters didn't have enough storyline to be fleshed out well enough. I didn't enjoy

**3.5 stars**This was an unexpectedly good, short PNR shifter story. I didn't expect the zombie twist, which was kind of fun. It is hard to tell a complete story in only 61 pages but Shawntelle Madison does a very nice job of it. My final take is that it was a enjoyable read but I probably won't remember it in a day or two. **Copy provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review**

Good read! Took me FOREVER to get to this book but not because of the book, mostly life and ARC commitments!It was well written with great world building & interesting Characters!

This is really bad. Honestly, this short is beneath the entertaining and humorous work that I am used to from Ms. Madison. This is the thing the romance between Emma and Kyle is nonexistent. I get that these two are in love and they were seperated, because people in romance books are not very good at communicating with each other. Here's the thing, it's too short. Way too short for the reader to really care.I didn't care, because I don't know Emma and Kyle. I understand that lots of drama went d...

I was so excited when I saw this book by Shawntelle Madison that I practically ripped it from the computer. I have absolutely loved what I have read of her so far. What I didn't notice was that it was a Novella and a really short one at that. I have a hard time with Novellas because I read really fast, absorbing the characters into myself rather than actually reading.. So Novellas tend to make me angry. Why? Because just as the absorbing starts, the book ends.That being said, Bitten by Deceit te...

I have previously enjoyed Madison's paranormal stories, but I have to say this one did nothing for me. I didn't like the female MC at all.

In Bitten By Deceit by Shawntelle Madison, Kyle Benton is a self-imposed lone Alpha wolf after having to leave his pack and the woman he loved behind. When Emma Parker, the woman Kyle loved comes barreling into his life again, sick and desperate for his help, how can he refuse? Emma has been attacked by the crazed leader of her pack who has been cursed by a black witch. Bitten and infected, she knows Kyle is the only one strong enough to defeat the evil Alpha leader and end the curse, but time i...

Okay read. Short sweet.

Emma is on the run from her Alpha pack leader Liam, who just happens to be crazy. He has joined forces with a black witch to enhance his powers. Emma was bitten by Liam, as were many of the pack, causing them to become his puppets, but Emma has not given in to his call. Emma seeks out her lost love Kyle, the man she let leave her a year before, yet her inner werewolf still considers him her mate. Kyle now is a mechanic in a very small middle of nowhere town, and really he wants nothing from his

Cute Short-novel, but with some defect linked to being a short story, and therefore with limited possibilities in deepening or clarify some situations. More than a story unto itself at first I believed it was a story that is part of a series already started.Alpha wolf Emma Parker is loyal to a fault, even if it means losing the love of her life when he’s ousted from the pack. She’s never stopped needing him, and when a black witch curses the pack, she wonders if she’ll even survive. It’s a poiso...

This novella turned out to be a really hard one for me to rate. While the writing voice in this story was very strong. Nothing about the characters reached out to me and pulled me in. For the most part I search for unique and sexy shifter stories. When I saw one that looked unique I grabbed up this one. However, there was something about it that just didn't quite reach out to me as a reader. The characters, although flushed out and sound in their personalities and reasoning didn't make me care f...

A short story that is a good introduction to a different kind of werewolf-trope. Potential to be a great series.

I loved the instant chemistry between Emma and Kyle! Although they've been apart for a year, the moment they reunite it's obvious that they're two halves of the same whole. All of their differences become irrelevant the moment Emma's life is in danger. Life or death situations tend to put things into perspective like that. The bitten rabid wolves have a zombie-esque feel to them that I really enjoyed. The story wrapped up nicely considering its limited length and left me wanting more. A potent a...
