The Los Angeles nightlife isn’t for everyone, and Natalie Calder might be at the top of that list. When this curvy photographer is pressured by her friend into an evening at Völk—the hottest club on the scene—she is certain the night will mirror every other night in LA. Deafening Music. Blinding lights. One thing she didn’t count on, though, was meeting him.
There’s something about this Russian club owner Natalie can’t quite put her finger on. Maybe it’s how Nikolai Vostik stares at her—like he’s watching his next meal. And to be quite honest, if he keeps grinning in that way she finds irresistible, Natalie just might be willing to serve herself up to him. But like Club Völk, Nikolai has secrets, and no amount of chains can keep the truth from ripping out of him under the full moon.
Werewolves are real. And if Natalie isn’t careful, this soon-to-be alpha of the pack will only add her to his private menu. Or maybe he’ll use those claws to tear her clothes off instead. Nothing is as it seems, and as the secrets of this LA werewolf pack begin to unravel, the locks of Völk’s VIP room will come undone.
The Red Room will open, and no one, not even Natalie, is safe …
Natalie Calder is a curvy, beautiful, self-conscious photographer who doesn’t believe that she is worthy. One night, her best friend insists that she goes to Club Völk which is the hottest club in town. There she meets the Vostik brothers who are the owners of the club. Nikolai Vostik becomes very smitten with Natalie but not everything is what it seems. While they are getting to know each other, Natalie starts to witness some unusual behavior and soon finds out that the Vostik Brothers come from a long line of werewolves. Unfortunately, they are also at odds over how the club is ran amongst other things. This tension soon heats up just as much as Natalie and Nikolai’s relationship. Before you know it, there’s a kidnapping, some carnage, and a cliffhanger that I didn’t expect. I would love to say more but that would take all of the fun out of reading the book yourself.
I thoroughly enjoyed The Red Room. It checked all of the supernatural boxes with a few twists. There were plenty of steamy scenes and Natalie was very likable. I couldn’t help but root for her. Some of the book was predictable but that didn’t take away from the overall experience. There is still a lot to know about the Red Room especially since it ended without a resolution. Clearly, I will have to read the next book to see what happens. I am looking forward to it.
