Hello beautiful bookish people!

Today I am reviewing R. J. Blain's book, Outfoxed, for Xpresso Tours and I can just tell you that I had a very enjoyable time with this book. It is definitely different from my current reads!

Outfoxed (The Fox Witch #1)

Publisher: Pen & Page Publishing
Release Date: November 3rd 2020
Genre: Adult, Magic, Shapeshifter, Paranormal
Rate: 

Synopsis:

Death is a way of life outside of the safety of Inner Tulsa, and Jade means to keep flipping Mother Nature off until old age claims her. With one eye always on the sky, the last thing she needs is a pack of bounty hunters out for her living head. With no idea of why anyone would want her, her wits might keep her free, assuming she can resist the charming lures of Sandro, one of the men out to claim her as his own.

Left with the choice of being the evening snack of a tornado or taking shelter with the bounty hunter, she does what she does best: she lives on the edge.

Striking a bargain with the handsome bounty hunter buys her another day of life, but it also dumps her into the heart of a sinister plot, one meant to enslave the residents of the storm-tossed city—and the others brave and foolish enough to call the Alley home.

Outfoxed is a different story from what I have been reading so far. Two things are clear as soon as you start reading: the world is set in a dystopian environment and there's some sort of magic since the people can now shift partially or fully into animals.

Even in an apocalyptic setting some things never change: the poor live in areas where mother nature hits the hardest and the ones not lucky enough don't survive the day. 

I have to confess that when I started the series for me it was a bit too forward for my liking, but as soon as the character started trying to avoid the bounty hunter and the story progressed, the author did a good job of explaining how society worked and the world around the two characters started to make much more sense.

As promised, there's a lot of action, steamy scenes and funny situations. Overall making this story an enjoyable one. I have never read anything by this author, but after Outfoxed, I will definitely be checking her other titles.

Thank you Xpresso Book Tours for giving me the chance to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
