Hi all!
Book title: Sinister Wolves
Genre: Adult Contemporary Romantsy / Urban Fantasy Romance
Word count: 155k (subject to change)
Blurb: A decade after Derek Lachlan's family is brutally murdered by hunters, he hears rumors of a murderous alpha terrorizing his hometown of Jolie, France, and he returns to the city he swore he'd never go back to years ago.
Ronan Amaro is just trying to get through his Junior year at the prestigious University of Jolie, but all his plans change when he's attacked by a wolf, and must learn to control himself if he wants to survive.
Together, they make a deal: Derek teaches Ronan everything he needs to know about being a werewolf, and Ronan helps Derek to gather intel about Dante, and dismantle his pack from the inside out. But with family secrets, witches, and old feuds, Ronan is swept into a battle that will require him to make the most unlikely of allies, and resist the charming allure to Derek Lachlan.
Content warnings: mentions of homophobia, mentions of transphobia, brief mentions of child abuse, grief, death (parents/siblings), death (in general), torture, murder, graphic violence, emotional abuse, physical abuse, profanity
Rep: Both leads are bi trans men, and most of the characters are POC or part of the LGBTQ+ community. (Or both.)
I just had a current CP look over my draft, and I'm looking for a fresh pair of eyes to fine-tune some details.

Timeline: Ideally looking for a CP that would be able to finish the book within 4-6 weeks, but I can be flexible on this.
Feedback: In particular, I'm looking to see if the structure, characters, and romance is hitting all of the markers. Also open to any line-level critiques if that's your strong suit.
I'm most familiar with critiquing adult SFF and romance, but I'm open to other genres as well. I'm strong with plot, line edits, and grammar mostly. If you think we'd be a good fit, feel free to send me an email, and I'm more than happy to chat about working together.
