Book Description:
Mated werewolves Charles Cornick and Anna Latham face a threat like no other--one that lurks too close to home...
They are the wild and the broken. The werewolves too damaged to live safely among their own kind. For their own good, they have been exiled to the outskirts of Aspen Creek, Montana. Close enough to the Marrok's pack to have its support; far enough away to not cause any harm.
With their Alpha out of the country, Charles and Anna are on call when an SOS comes in from the fae mate of one such wildling. Heading into the mountainous wilderness, they interrupt the abduction of the wolf--but can't stop blood from being shed. Now Charles and Anna must use their skills--his as enforcer, hers as peacemaker--to track down the attackers, reopening a painful chapter in the past that springs from the darkest magic of the witchborn...
Oh how I have missed Charles and Anna!
I love this series and the very fact that it coincides with my beloved Mercy Thompson series just makes it all the better.
I loved being immersed back into this world and more importantly getting to see Charles and Anna together again. The bond and relationship they have it amazing and the love and understanding between them even more so. I love that they make each other stronger and while they want to protect each other, they also don't smother or hold the other one back from being the best they can be. It truly is one of my most favorite relationships in the genre and I adore them.
The mystery in this was intriguing and again, I loved that it kind of went hand in hand with what is happening in her Mercy Thompson series without it feeling like it is the same story or the same exact drama. It's a separate situation with a mystery that is all tied together and I love it. It was so fascinating and so much fun.
Getting to learn more about the wildings and their purpose and place in the pack was even more entertaining than I imagined it would be. I loved seeing Asil step up and help out so much. He really is one of my favorite misfit characters.
Truly a wonderful story full of rich history, not only about the werewolves but about magic and Charles people, and just so much more. I truly loved it all, right up to the satisfying and thrilling end and was not ready for it to be over. I can't wait for the next book, I'm so ready for it!

DeleteI really need to read this! I'm going to see if my library has it right now, lol.
ReplyDeleteDo You Dog-ear?
This one isn't out yet but the others in the series are so hopefully they are there!
DeleteI should have said, "I'll see if my library has this series right now." Haha!
DeleteI still have not read anything from this author. I really need to change that. :)
ReplyDeleteI really hope you do and that you love her too!
DeleteGorgeous review, Ali! I'm so happy this was a great read featuring Charles and Anna together again!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Kim!
DeleteI remember when I read the first Mercy book hearing about Charles, and I've heard the spinoff adventures of charlie and Anna are pretty good! I love the sound of this one, and Charles and Anna sound amazing together.
ReplyDeleteI was so curious about Charles and Bran too so I love getting this series because we learn so much more about them.
DeleteYey! I'm so glad you liked this one. I read the first Mercy book and I need to read more by this author for sure. Great review!
ReplyDeleteThanks Erin!
DeleteI love diving back into a series I love! Thanks for sharing.

Oh me too!
DeleteWill I be lost if I am not reading the other series? I'm behind in this one. Read two, have the third. I need to get to it because this sounds excellent!
ReplyDeleteYou won't be lost if you aren't reading the other series but definitely read all of these in order. Since you have read at least one of the others, then you will know who the people are. It might be a bit spoilery though for the other series but nothing too bad.
DeleteI should try again but I didn't connect as much with this series
ReplyDeleteIt does have a slightly different feel from her Mercy series but do try again, you might like them more, the more books you get in. ;)
DeleteI know you and a few of my other blogger bffs love this Kindlemom. I need more time LOL ;-) Great review
ReplyDeleteDon't we all? :P
DeleteShe's in my list and reading this makes me so excited to try her!
ReplyDeleteI hope you end up loving her work as well. :D
DeleteI'm behind on all her books and I need to fix that. So glad you enjoyed this one!
ReplyDeleteThanks, they really are fun.
DeleteI keep reminding myself that I will get around to this series, glad you love the latest novel.
ReplyDeleteIt's so good so I hope you do make time for it Lily!
DeleteI want to read this series. I started it, but haven't finished it. I need book three! :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you started it! I love it. Have you tried her Mercy series as well? So good too!
DeleteI love the mature, loving relationship Anna and Charles have, too! They are stronger together. I think there might be more with the witches to come after that ending, don't you? Wonderful review! :)
ReplyDeleteYes I definitely got that impression as well! Plus I think it would make sense with the Mercy series as well for something big to happen with the witches next.
DeleteIt is fun when the different worlds collide a little. I read the first in the series then got sidetracked. I need to get back to them!
ReplyDeleteYes you do! :P So glad you are reading them though, they are both a lot of fun!
