New York Times bestselling author Lauren Dane welcomes you back to Diablo Lake, Tennessee: a town founded by witches, governed by werewolves and brimming full of secrets It’s autumn in Diablo Lake and the town is buzzing with preparations for Halloween, Samhain, Collins Hill Days, and the wedding of the newly elected mayor and her wolf shifter fiancé. Ruby Thorne can’t think of a better time of year to come back for good and open the health clinic she’s been planning for the last six years. Her connection to the town and its veins of magic have snapped back into place, flooding her with a power eager to jump to her call. She has a sense of rightness. This witch is exactly where she’s supposed to be. So it’s not much of a surprise that he comes back into her path just like he was meant to… Damon Dooley has spent the last few years learning how to run the pack at his older brother’s right hand. There’s been upheaval. Outrage. Violence. Old rules have created a silence so crushing it’s collapsed the fabric of not just the wolf shifters, but the town as a whole. And yet, Ruby has returned. Man and wolf agree she needs to be in their life regularly, and before long, things move from serious to something magically deeper. Bound to one another heart and soul, both committed to what’s best for Diablo Lake, Ruby backs Damon as he pushes for much-needed change. But when something falls into Ruby’s lap and she learns the whole, terrible truth, secrets need to be spilled. How—and by whom—becomes the only question.

0It's a quiet book which is 80% low conflict. Ruby and Damon dated briefly before she left town for six years, parting on good terms. Now she's back and their draw to each other is undeniable. They spend most of the book communicating openly about what they want and need, and having the support of their friends and family. As well as Ruby's two little doggos.
There's some conflict, of course - a trouble maker is obstructing a rules change and Ruby learns a pivotal secret. But this discovery comes quite late in the book and there's no Big Secret Energy - it's all worked out efficiently.
This is the third book in the series. It is absolutely helpful to have read the first two to get a good grasp of the town and the characters, but it can probably be read on its own. It took me a little while to re-orient myself to the town and characters, having read the first two a while ago.
If you're looking for a soft book about witches and werewolves, this is it.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
