Silverbow

by Shannon Simmons

She's the only mechanic in a small town with big secrets. Living on the border of Area 51 tends to keep things interesting. Owning her own auto shop and having a good man at her side; you'd think she'd be happy. However, Dakota's life has been strained with the loss of her father and when a stranger roars into town she finds out that she has much more to lose than she thought.

Ghosts from the tragic day of her father's death come back to town to remind her that not all is what it seems. Murders along the E.T. highway have the town on edge. The stranger coaxes out her wild side and pulls her to a dangerous ledge. Will she jump or will she be able to hang onto her remaining sanity? With the town's secret chomping at her heels from below and a soul breaking bond; the ground she stands on is slipping away like the unforgiving sands of Silverbow, Nevada.

Werewolves the way they were meant to be...dangerous. A suspenseful romance packed with gritty action.

Instead of a shifter romance this is what i got; trailer trash / slow paced /criminal /horror/ gore- werewolves story with the worst sex and shifting scene!

This story was really good. I was so enthralled throughout, I honestly had to put it down when I couldn't stay up any longer. The writer has a way of flushing all the characters out. She is able to give Dakota a mouth that doesn't know how to stop talking, sometimes Dakota didn't know when to keep her mouth shut, and seemed to always get herself in trouble.

Oh and Greyden, he has loved her for so long, but sometimes you just can't keep doing the same thing. Then there is Murphy. Murphy a loner who comes into town and ignites Dakota to the core, and she does not understand what is happening to her. I just felt I was watching from the side and seeing everything unfold, seemed so real. The story was so intense, with lies, deceit, murder, and the unknown.

I have found a new author for sure. Good job Ms Simmons.
This is the first of two novels from the Howling Heart Series, it is not your typical wolf story whatsoever.

I also wrapped up another book called Silverbow by Shannon Simmons; 1st of the Howling Heart series. I have delayed my opinion of this book to let if marinate in my brain for a while and determine the flavor of this book. I have to say, it was a good book but had a really weird vibe to it and hard to point a finger to. Its about a auto shop owner who meets a stranger to her small town in the bar her boyfriend works in. They have this unexplained spark between them the gets stronger over time. He ends up working at her shop and things get a little over heated. This story has a gritty feel to it, the characters were a little rough around the edges and there was this ominous cloud hanging over everyone but overall a good story. I think I am still undecided at this point.

a great book by a great new author, very talented writing style, the book, the characters, everything seems to come to life while you're reading. I honestly have a hard time putting this book down, I want to find out what will happen next. I highly recommend this book who wants something new and original to read, and hopefully this isn't the last book this author comes out with.

This book is very unique. I am used to Vampire books. However, I never read wolf books - just not my thing. However, I loved this book. I couldn't put it down. I will be purchasing the remaining books in the series. I have to know how this book turns out.
