Wolf’s Pack by Auryn Hadley

3 Stars

Corner a wolf and she will always fight back.

I finally did it. I took that last step and it was everything I wanted. My relationship with my five mates has never been better. They've embraced not only me as a part of their lives, but also my daughter, and this feels like the family I always dreamed of.

I don't mean just myself and my mates, but the entire pack. They call me "Alpha." No, I'm not the Alpha, but I'm learning how to step up. I got this. I'd better, since Wolf's Run has thrown open our doors to more than just wolves, but it seems like my version of winging it is working for all of us.

But not all shifters have packs.

That doesn't mean they don't want them. These new neighbors might not be wolves, but everyone wants a community they can count on. The trick will be making sure ours doesn't fall apart in the chaos.

Or get taken from us.

Between the antics of these teenagers, the insanity of so many changes happening at once, and the enemies my mates and I have already made, things are out of control. I feel like I'm chasing my tail. Thankfully, I've learned a few new tricks.

Once, I was just the nice lady next door.

Now, this is my pack, and I've become a real bitch.

Elena has come into her own but strife has to happen for the HEA. I like how it all played out. You see growth in everyone to get to the end. Definitely worth reading the series just for the uniqueness.

Wolf’s Call by Auryn Hadley

3 Stars

You don't have to be a wolf to show your claws, but it helps.

My five boyfriends - yes, five - are being much too patient with me. That's pissing a few people off. It seems that when living with a pack of wolves, there are certain expectations for the alpha's mate - and I suck at this. A few months ago, I had no idea shifters even existed!

I just wanted a safe home, and this is it, although it's not at all what I imagined. When an ex-girlfriend decides to make my life a living hell, pack rules say that if I want to keep my place, I need to win my own fights. That's not easy when she's young, fit, beautiful, and a wolf. I'm not.

But with the help of a few friends, a little medical advice, and a whole lot of pent up sexual frustration, one thing is going very, very well. Five boyfriends really are better than one. I just have to balance them with my child and these new pack responsibilities.

Because, this was my second chance. I'd intended to learn how to be strong, but I was thinking more about having my own opinions and less about dominance challenges! I should be focusing on the bully picking on my daughter at school. The pack's children are being singled out by some kid, and that is a problem - but this woman will not leave me alone!

So if I want to be strong, I need to stop letting others push me around.

It's time for the claws to come out.

Elena and her 5 men are trying to figure life out all while dealing with the pack wanting things to be normal. The pacing in this one is better than the first book. It moves at a much faster pace. Questions are answered but more pop up but it also ends in a cliffhanger ending. Interested in seeing how it ends.

Wolf’s Bane by Auryn Hadley

3 Stars

The things that go bump in the night are supposed to be headboards, not monsters.

Leaving my husband was hard. Trying to face the world alone with my teenage daughter is the sort of thing nightmares are made of, but I caught a break. My best friend just hired me for a great job. It's not anything special, simply managing the leasing office of this very fancy and highly exclusive neighborhood, yet the perks mean I get my second chance.

Speaking of perks, my rent-free house is right beside not just one handsome man, but five! Each one is hotter than the last, and all of them seem interested in me. Maybe I can't remember the last date I was on, but if I want to master being a strong woman, then this is a good place to start. It's just dating, right?

Normal life stuff.

Not so much.

Everyone around us has these strange golden eyes. Then there are the questions no one will answer. And who cares if there's a lot of wildlife running around at night? I do, especially when a wolf keeps sneaking into my backyard. I have a kid to worry about. Things have got to change before someone gets bitten!

Normal is going out the window, and fast. My neighbors say I don't belong here, and they don't mean because I'm Hispanic. Never mind that I just heard a man growl. Now they're talking about fated somethings, and I'm pretty sure they mean me.

I feel like I'm going crazy! Because when I said I wanted to learn how to be strong, this wasn't what I meant at all. Still, when it comes to taking care of my little girl, I will definitely learn how to be the biggest bitch on the block

I just hope that doesn't become literal.

I adored this weird book. This one treats lycanthropy as a STD. If you share fluids with someone who is a lycanthropy you will become a shifter. Which is different and interesting take on shifters. The book was a little slow moving but it was still a good read. Elena is trying her best to support herself and her 14-year-old daughter. She ends up with so much attention she doesn’t know what to do with herself. It does end on a cliff, but all books are out.
