Save Me Enemy

Apex Pack #2

by Tala Moore, Eva Kingsley

My whole life I’ve been loyal to the Silver Dawn pack. Yet when I discover that the illegitimate daughter of the Dark Moon Alpha is my mate, I don’t hesitate. Olivia is mine. I’ll shred anyone who tries to say otherwise.

The tentative peace between our packs should make things easier. Except distrust is deep. Tension is inevitable. And a monster is on the loose. A monster thirsty for death and destruction; human, Dark Moon or Silver Dawn.

My role in all this chaos is simple. Keep Olivia safe. And alive.

No one will take her from me.

If you love a dominant, sexy shifter, a heroine who just discovered something to fight for, and a sizzling connection that won’t be denied, then Save Me Enemy is for you. Jax and Olivia’s story is a steamy, standalone romance with a HEA that will leave you sighing and satisfied.

I really do love a Tala Moore read and I adore enemies to lovers, so this was an instant pick up for me. I loved the characters, the chemistry, the action and drama. I love how I don’t want to put the book down once I start. If you love shifters or PNR you’ll want to read this.

DELICIOUSLY SMUTTY ROMANCE!!
True to their writing style, Save Me Enemy is unique and beautifully written! I am super excited about reading the next installment in this series, Mark Me Rogue.

Guys this book is 🥵🥵! Filled with mystery, drama, action, twists and turns and oh so much smut, Save Me Enemy was a great read! The plot was great as well as the overall dynamic between characters.

Told in dual POV, Find Me Tracker starts off with Olivia “Cricket”, who is searching for her father before she dies. Only, when she gets to the little town she has traveled to, it isn’t her father she meets but her brother, Ryder and sister Rachel. Cricket has a rather tragic backstory so you may want to make sure you read the trigger warnings.

If you have read the prequel and the first novel in the series, Find Me Tracker, you are already familiar with Jackson… The man who was supposed to marry and mate Ruby. However, once Cricket comes to town he instantly knows she is his mate and will stop at nothing to have her. Just when he think he will finally get his happy ever after, he learns she doesn’t have long to live.

Will Jackson be able to save Cricket or will both perish, one from illness and one from a broken heart?

Recap: Save Me Enemy was a super smutty fun read I feel you will enjoy.

I really enjoyed this storyline. It kept me quite entertained. This is Jackson and Cricket/Olivia's story. It starts with Ryder and Rachel of the Dark Moon pack finding out they have a half sister Cricket who shows up looking for her father the former Alpha of Dark Moon. Her mother had just died but that wasn't much of a loss as she was treated badly and used by her mom. Jackson the beta from the Silver Dawn pack happens to be there when she shows up and realizes instantly she is his mate only to find out she has a possibly fatal illness that doctors can't seem to figure out. Can their future be saved or will it end tragically. Also with an unknown foe turning shifters and humans into monstrous creatures can the two packs come together to fight the danger that threatens to destroy them or will their inability to work together be their undoing? Check out this continuing saga to find out. You won't regret it!

Such a Heart-Felt Read!

Wonderful! Emotional! Tender and caring is how I would describe this second addition to the series!

Jackson recognized his true mate the moment he caught site of her but Olivia was in shock, she’d just found a new family and told them her news but for some reason, she couldn’t stop looking at Jax!

Olivia’s life had been full of horrors and she didn’t want to bring Jax or the pack into her problems but there was a monster loose and everyone needed to be protected and Jax was insistent she was his!

Could she find a little happiness in her life knowing it would break him in the end or would she run away?

Jax wasn’t one who would give up, enjoy this steamy read with lots of wonderful characters, a storyline which is intriguing and keep you guessing with a HEA that will touch your heart!.

I really love the Apex Pack serie!
It's a love story about fated mates that are rare around Zenith. But somehow they appear to be more and more present these days.
A girl struggeling to live, knowing that she 's gonna die soon.
She meets Jaxx, Jackson Wraith, a man who thought to be mated to Ruby, from book 1. That turned out to be so, so different when he meets Cricket, Olivia. What a hell of a ride, with everything what's happening to Zenith and the two packs there. It is heartbreaking, with a sliver of hope. Will everything turn out alright of will the two fated mates lose each other before they can enjoy life together! Can't wait for the next book to come!

I absolutely love this series. Jackson ends the last one broken over the fact that Ruby was not his mate even though he waited for her. The packs still have a common enemy they are battling and no closer to figuring out who it is.

Cricket appears … searching for her biological father. She is another of the Dark Moon pack and has an instant attraction to Jackson.

The packs keep combining with mates meeting and matching. New creatures show up attacking and trying to capture Cricket. Traitors work against the packs and the Gods work together to join them.

I can’t wait for Rowan’s story.. and Ryder .. and Cole … so many more need to admit their mates are there.

This book was so good—my favorite by this author so far. Cricket has only ever been used and abused her entire life until she finds her family and mate in Zenith. So much of the story is the packs trying to help her so she doesn’t die, because she IS going to die and soon. Jax is amazing at caring for her. He literally goes from wanting nothing but Ruby for years to awestruck by Cricket on sight. After figuring out her health issues, Jax’s mindset is just heartbreaking, but understandable. I love how the ancestors intervene in the only ways they can. The intervention is so sad, but beautiful too. I am dying to know who the scientist it. The betrayal of one that was so close is awful.

After Cricket's mother dies, she goes looking for her father before her illness kills her. When she gets to town, she finds more than she ever expected to find. She gets a family and a mate. Jackson is with a pack outside her family's, but he is her mate and the one she wants to live for. Will they be able to save her? Will they be able to deal with the threat to the packs?

This is an amazing story that once I started it I couldn't put it down. This is a well written and very entertaining story. Its a book that any book lover would enjoy.

OMG Poor Cricket (Olivia)! Such a sad life she's had, abused by her mother, and then diagnosed with an unknown, terminal illness.

When she goes looking for her father's pack and meets her fated mate, Jackson, she fears she won't survive long enough to be with him.

Jackson finally finds his mate, only to learn she's dying. Then there's the threat of monsters trying to wreck havoc.

Such a heart-wrenching story. Tala and Eva have done a wonderful job of creating a world that pulls you in, and holds onto those heartstrings.

Loving this series!.

Steamy and Action-Packed

Two wolf packs were sworn enemies, but now, they must work together to defeat a monster, unlike any they had ever seen. When Olivia showed up on their doorstep, she not only found family but also a mate. However, the monster was bent on death and destruction. Could Jax protect Olivia, or would he need a miracle to help? Jax and Olivia were not only facing a monster but also a deadly disease that was killing Olivia. Was there a chance she could survive?

This steamy paranormal romance is action-packed. It will keep you on the edge of your seat. I enjoyed it and would recommend it to those who like romantic fantasy adventures with lots of steam.

[Nicole Deanne Veracruz · Rating 5 out of 5]

I cried for about 90% of this book. For all the suffering cricket had to go through as a child at the hands of her mother. And then the suffering of her illness. Only to find her mate and think that she's going to die before she can enjoy her time with him. My heart broke for Jackson and everything that he could potentially lose. I was really hoping that Cole and Rachel story would be next. But apparently it's going to be Rowan.

[Sue MacKenzie · Rating 5 out of 5]

She never knew the packs existed until her mum died, and she went looking for her father.
By then, she was dying herself, but as soon as Jax laid eyes on her, he refused for her to let go.
His mate is going to survive, no matter how much he has to fight, even if he has to fight her on it.
Plus, they still have that outside problem that both packs are fighting.

What a heartbreaking and very exciting story. I literally sat in the corner of my couch reading this book. By the end, even with tears in my eyes and thinking, it's not really happening! So heartbreaking. I won't tell you anything else, otherwise the surprise is gone. Read this story between Cricket and Jaxon/Jax for yourself. So loving.

This is a well written book with strong characters in Cricket and Jackson. The authors do a fantastic job bringing out all the feels and painting their scenes perfectly. She pulled me in and kept me glued to the pages reading. They take them on a roller coaster ride with all the emotions and had me hooked from start to finish. Loved and recommend this book.

[Crystal Lobetti · Rating 5 out of 5]

This series is so good. You really start with the 1st book. Cricket shows up looking for her father the Alpha of Dark Moon pack because her mom just died (she was treated horribly by her mom). Jax is there when she shows up and he instantly knows she is his mate. Suspense, drama and heartache are all in this book. Tala Moore draws you in and doesn't let go until you finish the book.

Jackson knows that Olivia (Cricket) is his mate. Cricket cannot stop thinking about Jackson but doesn’t know why as she was not brought up with a pack but her (hateful) mother.
They are so sweet together. Jackson is strong, quiet and protective, whilst Cricket is realistic, clever and living life to the fullest, whilst she can.
This is a great book and is a must-read. 5 stars!

[Sissy Satterfield · Rating 5 out of 5]

We start this story with Cricket, who thinks that she is dying. She leaves, looking for her father and finds her family, and her mate as well. Jackson sees her and knows, she his mate. I not going to give spoilers, so give it a read. Great Story and I Loved It!!!.

Jax and Cricket story is the second book in the series.
It’s mostly steamy romance with heavy angst and personal drama.
Follow the pack story but briefly. How or what exactly try to destroy both packs it’s to be find out.

I've never known a shifter that is sick that couldn't heal itself. But in this story you will meet Cricket who isn't all that she seems. There is a mystery behind her existence. Very good and different from others. I really like it.

I liked this story though I had a hard time connecting with his character. I didn’t find him believable. I didn’t see them as a couple. There were good moments so maybe it was just my take on things.
