Echoes of Fire by Suzanne Wright

 

3 Star

Madisyn is a loner, and she wants to stay that way. When she’s in need of touch she will go out for it. She ends up being assaulted with demands to reveal where a young woman has been hidden. Since she works at a shelter the Mercury Pack has created, she gets a new bodyguard, Bracken. Bracken has been dealing with loss and finding forgiveness over the death of his family when he’s called in to help Madisyn. What he finds is she’s his fated mate because of the loss of his family he’s not sure he wants a mate but isn’t willing to risk her. Will he be able to keep her safe?

I wanted to like this more than I did. People change all the time but this one feels like the author made a 180 with Bracken and changed his entire being just for a plot point. I didn’t like how he was changed. I did like these two together and enjoyed the big battle at the end. It was just an ok book.

Lure of Oblivion by Suzanne Wright

 

3 Star

Gwen may be human, but she is determined to testify against a fellow human for assaulting a shifter. The boy’s wealthy family has tried to bribe her and is now trying to terrify her to keep her from testifying. Zander is staying at her inn while working out his uncle’s will when Gwen’s inn is attacked. He decides to stick it out and help her get to the trial. Will they be able to keep safe?

There are a lot of people in this book to keep track of. We don’t need to see both packs in every book. I really didn’t like how we went from Gwen being independent to all in as mate when she had been fighting it throughout the book. All of this led to me putting the book down regularly. I did love how Zander and Gwen handled Gwen testifying and the big fight with the bad guys. Overall, it was a meh book.

Force of Temptation by Suzanne Wright

 

3 Star

Harley plans to live her life in the human world as she is tired of being an outcast in the supernatural world. Until an extremist group goes after her. When her friend Jesse shows up to protect her, she’s not sure she should except his help but she will. Will she be able to keep her heart safe from him?

There were some questions I have like how did Harley become a cat shifter when her mom was a human and her dad is a wolf. It’s never explained. I also wanted to know how Jesse could handle being away from his mate as long as he was. Overall, I enjoyed the story. Dealing with pack politics plus extremists made for an interesting read. Nothing to bad to not continue reading the series.

Spiral of Need by Suzanne Wright

4 Star

Ally is a wolf Seer. When her boyfriend finds his fated mate they break up. This isn’t enough for his new mate she decides Ally must go. To get away from all the drama her adopted brother calls in a favor to get her into the Mercury Pack. They don’t want a Seer in the pack but since it is temporary, they are willing. Will Derren let her walk away when it’s time for her to leave?

I really liked both Ally and Derren. It was amusing to see Derren struggle with his need for Ally and feeling he shouldn’t have her. I really wanted Ally’s former alpha to get his due over what happened but that doesn’t happen. This is a spinoff series, and it may have made more sense if I had read that one first but noting drastic. The bad guy situation would have been better understood if I had read the Phoenix Pack but overall, I enjoyed it and can’t wait to read the next one.
