I thoroughly enjoyed the Demon Chaser Ash as a no nonsense, take charge female. The fact that she was a little spit-fire was a perfect complement to laid back powerful Gray, the new wolf pack Alpha and half blood demon wolf. This very intriguing story held its own surprises and mysteries along with scorching hot romance. Great Read!!!!!

Grey & Ash
Love how this series rolls right into the next book seamlessly. I was hoping Ash was going to skip some Wolf Birch a as but it seems all was not what it seemed, and some of the antagonistic were not as vile as they appear. Great twists. DanaLynn

Fast Paced and Frenetic
Loved every chapter, and I’m glad there is a female protagonist that doesn’t stop being a bad ass just because a male wants to save and protect her. Ash is my favorite character in this series.

Did not like the fact that the hero was trying to get one girl that he didn't like to mate him and in the meantime screwed the heroine. In my mind that's a cheater.

I enjoyed it. It was short and quick but also fierce and hot. A good second story in this series.

A spectacular sequel that’s full of extraordinary imaginative vision
Having read book 1 (Omega) of the Demon Chaser series, I was incredibly excited to have the opportunity of reading the next instalment with eager anticipation. Charlene does not disappoint with this scintillating story that’s intense and utterly compelling. As a huge fan of shifter books, werewolves and all things paranormal and darkly delicious I found ‘Alpha’ an addictive and highly readable story. With a cast of colourful new characters the Demon Chasers are back with vengeance to protect humanity and uphold the peace, and battling with life over death.
Grey is a new Alpha and half-blood demon Wolf. As he tries to impress a female mate, things get tough as the fine line between success and failure; life and death is thinning. Ashlyn’s attraction towards Grey is magnetic, and as dangerous times lie ahead with a serial killer on the loose in Wolfville she cannot let her heart cloud her judgement…He is already taken!
The remarkable world building and inspired concepts of this series is phenomenal, and I was once again totally blown away by such a convincing storyline. Lovers of ‘Charlaine Harris’ and ‘Rachel Caine’ will love this spectacular novella, which keeps you glued to the pages and wanting to read on. The characters are well developed and interesting, with their sizzling seductiveness luring you into this tantalizingly tempting treat. Without a doubt Alpha is an enthralling read and guilty pleasure, that’s certainly a 4.5 star book!

Love is in the air even if the two people that can sense the love want to ignore it.
Ashlyn has always been a Demon Chaser and she is great at it. However when the life of a human is in trouble because of Gray’s half-brother Ashlyn must do everything in her power to keep the human safe, even if that means risking her own heart. She feels attraction to Gray but she knows that she can’t be with him because she is a human and he is the Alpha of a pack. He must mate with the highest ranking female but when she decides that she is going to help Gray to woo the female will she end up losing her heart to him all together?
Gray knows his time is limited and that he has a duty to the pack, but why must that duty come above his true feelings? Why can’t he just mate with Ashlyn and be done with it? Oh, because she is human and if he were to mate with her he would lose his position as Alpha. There is a wolf that is killing human females and Gray must find out who it is and stop them before any more human females get hurt. When the final pieces of the puzzle are put together will Gray be too late to save the woman that he loves? Or will he forever be in a loveless marriage with someone who doesn’t want anything to do with him?
How can Ashlyn and Gray ignore the attraction between them when Gray needs to mate with the highest ranking female who happens to love another wolf? Charlene Hartnady has a way of pulling you into the story right alongside the characters in the book. This story is full of romance, adventure, mystery and action. Charlene will keep you wanting more, page after page as well as keeping you on the edge of your seat gripping the arms of your chair. She is very talented and I can’t wait to read more from her.

Ash and Gray secondary characters from the first book (Omega) in the series get their story here.
Ash a human Demon Chaser and Gray, the next alpha of his pack are working together on the deaths of human women and some how it's tied to Gray's pack. Gray is technically an Omega, but the lore states that if he mates with an Alpha female he will be able to reach his full potential/become a true alpha.
Problem being, Ash is the one he wants but being a human he feels he must mate with an alpha female from his pack.
While I'm liking this series, the lore is very underdeveloped and the books so far have been short. The "mystery" elements are not an integral part of the story and are quickly and easily resolved and forgotten. However, I LOVE the male leads.
Ash and Gray's first love scene is so sexy and emotional I had to read it twice. I loved it. The thing that keeps this from being a 4-star read (which it was on the way to being for me) is Ash turned into the type of self-described "kickass" heroine I despise. She actually was quite likable for most of the story but then had to turn tail and run because her hero didn't declare himself the way she wanted him to (silly, to say the least). Fortunately, the story is quickly resolved from that point on.
So, if you liked the first book you will most likely enjoy this one. Even with Ash's flaws I liked "Alpha" very much.
**Minor sticking point: The cover model is brunette and Ash was described as blonde.

Ashlyn has her work cut out. As a member of the Demon Chasing Agency, she is charged with investigating the Wilderness Pack, after the discovery of human bodies. A straight forward job. Except Ash is finding it difficult to manage her growing attraction with the Alpha.
Gray, the new Alpha, now must face a moody Pack. Not only must he prove that an Omega, like himself, is more than capable, but he has decided to take a Mate. If only Alisha would accept his proposal.
But that theory is shot to hell when Ash steps in.
In terms of plot, it has more to offer than the first installment. The characters have some substance and the Lore starts to set up boundaries.
Personally I would have preferred a drawn out scene between Ash and Gray. A slow, bitter sweet build up, that would make the inevitable that much more fulfilling.
But I'm hooked. I have uploaded #3 and I'm quietly hoping the Author will throw some light on the agency itself.
3 stars.

Loved Alpha even more than Omega. Gray and Ash's story is sweet if not very romantic. I like the fact that Gray even though he is an Omega maintains his gruff animal personality. Weirdly enough I kept picturing Emilia Clarke as Daenerys every time I came across Ash. Hope I can see all the previous characters in a combined story onward in the series.

This is the second book in the Demon Chaser series.Omega is the first, Alpha is the second. I have read both. Great reads. Strong characters and story line. A lot of action. What is there not to like about a hot werewolf? Pick up a copy today, you will not be disappointed.

Second book I read in series.I could say it was better or maybe i like the heroine too much.In first book we don't get to see this great side of Gray as in his book.Really liked their banter.Recommend it to paranormal readers.It is a great author with nice ideas i will follow.

4 1/2 star read. Was pulled in from the beginning and could not put this book down. Alpha is about a half wolf that is not accepted by his pack and a human chaser of non law abiding species. Was part of Kindle Unlimited and is NOT a cliffhanger. Has a HEA and is a great read!

Again great chemistry
Ash and Gray are so cute together. The chemistry between them was strong and fun. I was happy to see a book about Gray because I liked his character in the previous book. I enjoy seeing the underdog (no pun intended), rise to the top.
