Love Radio by Ebony LaDelle

At the beginning of Love Radio, author Ebony LaDelle includes a letter to readers that explains her inspiration for writing her first novel.

Detroit’s water has been poisoned with a serum that gives humans flu, but more seriously, gives shifters a form of ‘roid rage, triggers transformation in unsuspecting latents, and even causes some humans to become hybrid human/shifters.
