Rise of the Alpha Squirrel

Kate Lowell

Nathan’s met Vince’s family, but Vince hasn’t met Nathan’s, and Nathan would like to keep it that way. Holy smoked almonds, what else do you do when you know how completely nuts your relatives are?

Why, you ease your man into it, by introducing him to normal shifters. Assuming you can find any.

But with a gossipy werehummingbird spreading the news, and a pair of young red pandas wreaking havoc with their fainting goat friends, Nathan’s about ready to climb into a pine cone and pull it in after him.

Then the local playboy weremoose hears about Vince, and Nathan has to find his inner alpha or the consequences will be worse than moldy hazelnuts.

The following excerpts (at each blog on the tour) are taken from the best-selling series ‘A Were’s Guide to Living in the Human World’ by Finnley Lakewood, Ph.D, and Gardenner Monk, Ph.D. Please don’t tell anyone where you got these excerpts—I had to take ridiculous risks to get my hands on these books and if they found me, they’d probably eat me. ~Kate~

From Your New Life as a New Adult 

Chapter 3: Living With a Human Roommate—The Carnivore’s Dilemma

…they don’t understand pack or pride dynamics and often are completely oblivious to signs that they are living with someone more dominant to them. In these cases, it is recommended that the were in question treat their roommate like a young cub or kit, in need of gentle training and correction. Bear in mind that humans will not understand—indeed, may react undesirably to—a disapproving nip or slap with a sheathed claw (or hand).  It is far better to study their natural behaviors and model your own on them.

Carl (names have been changed to protect the identities of those involved) tells his story:

My roommate was a great guy, except he kept trying to claim the whole apartment. Clothes here, shoes there, his scent everywhere. I felt like he touched everything. So one day I growled at him, and he got upset. The next day, he gave me a piece of paper.  I thought it was some weird human tradition, but when I read it, it said I had thirty days to find a new home. And when I went to assert my dominance again, he called a bunch of humans in blue clothes who jumped on me and put me in a cage until someone could come and ‘vouch’ for me.

Excerpt

From Rise of the Alpha Squirrel

“Breakfast,” Vince said and waved a hand toward the table.

It was a squirrel’s wet dream. Or it would have been, if good-enough-to-lick-all-over-then-eat Vince hadn’t been sitting on the other side of the table. Maybe he could say it was any other squirrel’s wet dream—whatever, it was the breakfast of Roman squirrel emperors. 

A pile of thick, deep brown pancakes waited for him in the center of his plate. Raspberries and shaved almonds sprawled seductively over the side of the stack, glistening with sweet, sticky maple syrup. Some of the less audacious ones hid decorously beneath the edges of a heavy daub of whipped cream, but Nathan knew they were there, waiting for him to discover them. He could see them peeking diffidently out, uncertain whether they wanted to attract his attention or not.

And the best part—the most gorgeous massage therapist in the world was sitting across the table from him, watching him with eyes that were dark in more than just the usual way. He looked at Nathan like Nathan was a maple walnut ice cream with a peanut dip. Like he wanted to lick him all over and suck bits of him deep inside his mouth…

About Kate

Kate Lowell lives on the east coast of Canada, in an old farm house that has way more personality than it has any right to. During the winter, she spends her time dreading snow, cursing at snow, shoveling snow, and scheming ways to shove it down the kids’ necks. During the summer, she prays not to have snow. 🙂

Kate likes to play in ALL the sandboxes. While her main genres are paranormal and contemporary suspense, she is also interested in science fiction, fantasy and–weirdly–romantic comedy. She’s willing to pay large amounts of money to anyone who can come up with plot-bunny repellent, which she will first use on herself, then sell to LA Witt for an exorbitant price to recoup her costs.

Review: Kate Lowell has a way with words and for me I am very grateful. This story was such a blast to read. It has a little bit of a serious tone but the rest of it will have you laughing your ass off. My attention was caught with the first line and kept all the way to the end. The characters are well written with a lot of depth to them and trust me these two will keep you on your toes.

Nathan has met Vince’s family but he was to chicken to introduce him to his. His family and the other weres were absolutely nuts. He thought he could take him camping and introduce him to some normal shifters, but a crazy friend told everyone. Crazy hummingbird hyped up on sugar. Vince was about to get an eye opener.

This story was such a blast to read and I can’t wait to read the next one. I hope it is when Vince gets to meet the other squirrels. I loved the little red panda’s and who knew a moose scream so loudly.

This was a lot of fun and I would definitely recommend it.
