Synopsis
Ann Smith loves her handsome, dynamic boss, Jasha Wilder, but her daring plan to seduce him goes awry when she encounters a powerful wolf who-before her horrified eyes-changes into the man she adores. She soon discovers she can't escape her destiny, for she is the woman fated to break the curse that binds his soul.
Publishers Weekly
This satisfying series kickoff finds Ann Smith, an inexperienced, plain-Jane office assistant, dropping off some paperwork at the home of her handsome, successful boss, Jasha Wilder-and hoping to use the opportunity to confess her mad crush on him-when she catches him transforming from wolf to man. It's just the beginning for the dumbstruck secretary, whose discovery draws her into Jasha's cursed world-his family's ancient pact with the devil, the search for their clan relics, a gang of boisterous, unpredictable relatives who share his shape-shifting ability-and onward to her extraordinary destiny. Dodd's latest is a fast-paced, well-written paranormal, with a full, engaging mythology and a handful of memorable characters. In Ann, she creates the quintessential all-American girl, counterpointing nicely the rich tapestry of Jasha's family history; the mix shows great promise for future volumes. (July)

February 09, 2010: I'm a little disappointed because though I liked the story, the writing skill lacked. The character's feeling were explained but yet not where you can "Be in the characters", many times I had to read the lines again to understand because of either grammar or typing problems. The story didn't "flow". There were bumps here and there for me!!
And that's too bad, it could have been really good.I just don't know.by Precious5881

October 06, 2009: Forgive my low review but, this is actually a prequel to Dodd's Chosen series. It tells the story of what happened to Aleksandr Wilder's family. I bought this book along with Storm of Shadows at the same time. I read storm of shadows and was disappointed with that one. Then I started reading Scent of Darkness and I feel alseep so many times during the first two chapters I finally stopped and put it down. I already know what happens in the end, they break the curse of course... I read Chosen series first, how would I not know? Perhaps one day, I'll pick it back up. This is another "love" conquers all against evil series. I researched more and found out she wrote it very much like she did her chosen series, I have decided to put this one down for a while. Until then, it stays low on my list of things I wish to read. I am a little disappointed that it wasn't mentioned by the author that this could have been read as a prequal to the Chosen series, then I would have probably started off with scent of darkness first. It was my first choice afterall, but barnes and noble didn't have it in stock, therefore I went with Storm of visions first.
