Deadly Trilogy #3
Deadly Pack
Since becoming the alpha female of the Dog Mountain pack, Jade certainly has had her share of challenges. She’s had to prove herself to a bunch of werewolves that she spent years hating; forgive her mate who’d done nothing but lie to her, and face the grueling fact that her father leads a pack of werecougars, who are responsible for tormenting her werewolves for many years.
On the upside, the Dog Mountain pack is finally coming together—now that Jade and Aidan’s mate status is official. And now that they know where her father’s been hiding his nasty pack of beasts, Jade and Aidan can concentrate on stopping them once and for all.
But when Jade’s dad finds out that she’s become Aidan’s official mate, all hell breaks loose, and Jade and Aidan soon learn that his plans for their werewolves are bigger than anyone could have ever suspected.

What a phenomenal ending to this series! Stoyanoff takes you on a wild ride while wrapping everything up nicely. But don’t you worry. She doesn’t just wrap everything up in a nice, neat package and tie a bow on it. The realism that we’ve come to know her for, the essential element that makes her stories so plausible is still there with a vengeance, allowing you to fully enjoy this tale. The story was very action intensive. Readers get right down and dirty with the goings on of Dog Mountain. The story is excruciatingly suspenseful and emotional. Top this all off with Stoyanoff’s graphically visual descriptions and you have a definite winner.
This story just gets beer when we come to the characters. Stoyanoff has painstakingly developed them throughout the series, allowing them to grow into themselves. They do continue to grow in this novel as well, becoming who they need to be to succeed and survive. At the same time they also begin working together much more closely. The interactions between the characters are so intimate that you feel like you’re part of Dog Mountain too. They also highlight the key features of each of the characters.
This poignant ending to a fantastic series is a must read for anyone who enjoys shifters. I will warn you, however, that it picks up right where the previous one left off so you may want to read those first.

Deadly Pack is a Young Adult, Paranormal Romance written by Ashley Stoyanoff. I received this eARC from the author in exchange for an honest review.
5 Perfectly Outstanding Stars!
A Fantastic Conclusion To A Fabulous Series!
The Review:
Deadly Pack picks up right where Deadly Mates leaves off. The tragedy that unfolded in the last chapters of book two has left its scars and hurt with the characters and as they try to navigate around all that pain, new developments arise, new secrets are unveiled, loyalties are once again tested and with the newly put-together pack sorting through all their troubles, it’s uncertain how things will turn out.
I really enjoyed this read. From the first page in the first book, this author creates a thrilling and wonderful paranormal story for us to sink our teeth into and this last installment concludes and wraps everything up nicely. I loved the characters and as their story gets trickier and more involved, we get lots of action, lots of angsts and lots of fun.
Story/Characters...
Jade and Aidan are finally mated and it looks like things might be heading in the right direction for the pack. But things are also coming to a head as the wolves search out and locate their enemy. When they finally discover their camp, they realize taking out the werecougars won’t be as easy as they first thought. There are surprises they weren’t expecting and their search and destroy mission quickly becomes a rescue. Jeff, Jades father and the leader of the werecougars certainly plays up the bad guy as he amps up his strategies with an almost desperate and fevered edge. We find out his true scheme and with a shocking reveal that changes everything, characters, faults and lies are tested and weeded out. All the while the pack undergoes changes and unite for the purpose of protecting their own as the female wolves are in even more danger than ever. There is a lot going on and the characters have some very tough decisions to make!
Jade is coming into her own as alpha but she’s in a tough spot. Her father is their enemy and she’s having a hard time reconciling the loving, caring man who raised her from the monstrous man ruling over the werecougars. The things he does, his motivations, make no sense to her and what he’s willing to give up and do in order to complete his mission is evil. Jade has to find a way to distance herself from her childhood memories and put her pack first. Thankfully, she’s got Aidan and the pack on her side.
Aidan is watching as Jade slowly cracks. The pressures of being an alpha when it’s her own father causing so much pain, is hard to endure. His love for her has come full circle and he’s trying to keep watch over her all the while planning a strategic move against the werecougars. When a plan presents itself and it looks like they might stand a chance against their enemy, Aidan takes charge and leads the pack into battle. However, things quickly turn for the worse and Aidan has to figure out how to save them all before losing his pack and the woman he loves.
Thoughts...
My heart broke for Jade. She had a lot put on her shoulders but even when she stumbled, she picked herself up and moved forward. She grew and matured during these three books and became a wonderful heroine. The pack recognizes this as well. They circled around her, protecting her, standing by her side, accepting her and her rule. It was a long, confusing and sometimes heartbreaking journey for the pack but in the end, they all came around. Jade really loves Aidan and she’s trying so hard to be the strong alpha female he needs and wants. And with his help, they find a way to succeed not only in getting the pack united but in their relationship as well.
Aidan was just as alpha-hot as always. He excelled at leading in this book and when he also stumbled, his pack was there to guide him back from the brink of disaster, pulling him through. He and Jade weren’t just alphas, they were family ruling with love and respect. I enjoyed seeing Aidan be there for Jade. He really stepped up his game and helped her through the decisions and actions they had to make.
I loved that everyone got a conclusion. Good or bad, it was all settled. All the questions were answered and everything was wrapped up nicely.
The Wrap Up:
I’ll miss waiting for the next Jade and Aidan adventure but I know I’ll go back and re-read these books time and again because they really are that good. Ashley Stoyanoff has a remarkable way of pulling you into her world and holding you there until the very end. She weaves a magical tale of family, romance, loss, hope and love with a paranormal edge. I loved this story and the characters and it will stay with me for a long time to come.

**I received a copy from the author in exchange for an honest review**
Initial Thoughts: What a conclusion. Every book has just gotten better and better and I'm completely in love with this book and series. I mean you can't go wrong with werewolves and stubborn yet lovable characters!
The Characters: Jade and Aidan were just as loveable in this book, not to mention very stubborn the both of them, but they both matured greatly in this book, gained a better understanding of how their lives would be as leaders of a pack, and grew and used their love to help support each other when the pressure would get to them, especially Jade a lot. Aidan was a huge support system to Jade after the ending of the second book and all the conflict and havoc her father is causing. They all have so many struggles throughout the book but they all come out as better and stronger people in the end. One of my favorite parts of the book ws the friendship between Dominic and Aidan. They are such awesome friends! I love their friendship so much.
The Story: It starts off where the second book ended with Jared's death and the growing problem of the werecougars. Because Aidan and Jade are mates, the pack is able to work better and more together which leads to them become a really strong pack. This all helped the pack have greater advantages over the werecougars and exactly what they needed in order to stop them and finally have an end to all of the conflict. Now I'm not going to spoil, so I will say that there was a lot of action and suspense (and romance). I'm pretty good at guessing things that will happen in books, but I was pleasantly surprised when things would happen that I would never have guessed and at times almost brought me to tears. I thought the story was very well done and I was never able to take a break from reading. It was just so good and bittersweet to read. I loved it!
The Romance: Jade and Aidan's love for each other only grew throughout the book. They matured and helped each other and understood each other a lot more which helped them to have a really solid relationship where their love and strength was the center of it. These two are just so perfect for each other and work so well together too.
End Thoughts: Like I've already said, I loved it. I loved how it turned out and would recommend this series to anyone who likes werewolves and stubborn, sexy, lovable characters. I sure loved them and I'm so happy with this book. I had so much fun reading it and I look forwrd to rereading it many, many times in the future. 5 stars.

I received this book free from the author in exchange for an honest review.
I had mixed feelings on this book before I started on it because I loved book one Deadly Crush but I didn't care for book two Deadly Mates, so this made me a bit weary of this instalment. I would put Deadly Pack as my second favourite in the trilogy. I found the beginning of the story a bit slow (but mind you I have been in a bit of a reading funk lately), but it did pick up near the end about 60-70% in. Thats when the pace picked up and all the exciting stuff started happening. Although when I did get to the end I feel like it did lack a little bit of closure, and this is the last book so I am hoping for a novella or a companion. Mostly because it seems like Jade and Aiden have come out on top and that everything is wonderful, but what about Jason? Dun Dun DUHHHHHHH!!!
Overall as a whole I did enjoy this trilogy. I would recommend it to fans of werewolves and shifters.

I received a complementary copy of Deadly Pack in exchange for an honest review.
I loved this third book in the Deadly trilogy. Now that Aidan and Jade are mated, we see the pack working together finally. The pair have their hands full dealing with the werecougars and Jade's dad, but together, they take care of all the issues that come up.
I really liked the way Aidan supported Jade when she was about to break. It was nice to see that they have a relationship outside of the pack. I felt a connection with the characters because they were so well developed in this trilogy. I really liked the writing style of the author - especially the way the details were reveled about Jade's dad thoughts and dealings with the werecougars. I was surprised with that part and I love being surprised with the way a story goes.
Deadly Pack is a terrific book and I highly recommend it. I am disappointed that the series is over. I am going to miss Aidan and Jade.

I believe this is the last book in the series and I loved how it ended...If it ended. If it didn't thats ok because there wasn't a cliffhanger. This was a great third book in the series. Ashley has done it again and I can't wait to see what she writes next.

Amazing Amazing
Absolutely amazing! I love all Ashley books. She is an amazing writer. I am a little sad that the series ended. I love loved all the characters. I can't wait to read more of Ashley's books.

I have received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
What can I say? There is not ENOUGH stars for this brilliant book.
It's a third in this brilliant trilogy by Ashley. I loved every word, letter. I couldn't get enough of Aidan and Jade.
In this part we can see their struggle after Jared's death and how hard it is for Jade to learn about her dad's second life. Aidan is supporting Jade in this hard and devastating for her time, but what I like the most is that Jade is not suddenly changing into unbreakable and untouchable hero, that no one can defeat. She is still old Jade, that is scared of facing her dad and making more mistakes, so the pack will eventually turn away from her, or even banish her. She is growing and gradually maturing to become the perfect leader, that is able to stand beside Aidan and not few steps behind him.
We learn that Aidan is not only mad about Jade and her happiness. He is genuinely a good and kind person. He cares about the pack and it's not only because he is the ALPHA, but they became his friends, especially Dominic. The relation between them is just amazing.
But I loved the most is the fact that Ashley didn't forget about Jade's mum struggle and feeling. She brought her up and gave her enough attention to see what she is going through.
Loved it and this trilogy is one of the ones that I will be coming back to re-read them many times.
The cliffhanger that exists at the end of the book brings a hope in me to expect maybe more? There is never ever enough of Aidan.

I think I have discovered Ashley Stoyanoff's hidden talent.... writing epic final books to end her series! I went into this book with high expectations due to the ending of the 2nd book... and boy was I wowed! I couldn't read this book fast enough, I found myself literally growling at anyone who attempted to interrupt me. Heart-pounding action that will have you on the edge of your seat and sweet romance that will make you feel all warm and fuzzy! My heart fluttered with joy and anticipation but also nearly shattered from all the danger the werewolves are subjected to.
Jade is finally back to the girl that I grew to adore in the first book, with Aidan by her side she is an unstoppable force to be reckoned with. They bring out the strength and courage within one another and finally realize that they are meant for each other. ::swoons::
An amazing ending to the Deadly Trilogy. Jade and Aidan have to prove that they have what it takes to be the alpha pair. A war has begun and it's anyone's game. It figures once all is well with Aidan and Jade all hell breaks loose. Can they protect their pack and unify them before it's too late? They face one hell of battle against the werecougars and their evil leader, Jade's very own father. You will never believe what the outcome brings... it will shock you!

Aidan I missed him, "are you asking me or telling me?" I asked, stroking my hand up and down her spine as I held her close, trying to soothe her." Jade she loves to appreciate the view of her man, "yeah, I guess I am," I said. His back was to me, and I thought I should probably look away as he dropped his towel, but um... well, I didn't. Instead my gaze, wandered along the muscular plains of his back, watching them ripple as he stepped into the pants and tugged them on." Aidan sometimes has to remind Jade that in order to get to the good stuff she needs to move, "I leaned back into him with a sigh, and his chest vibrated against my back as he chuckled. He rested his chin on my shoulder and whispered, "you know you're going to have to stand up if we're going home, right?" So obviously lots went down in this book with it being the third and final installment of the series, I just mainly focused on the moments with Aidan and Jade because that is what I fell in love with in this series.
October 4, 2014
Deadly Pack picks up right at the end of Deadly Mates. A lot of things will come to light in Deadly Pack, like the motivates behind Jade's father. While the ending was a happy one, with a lot of what I had envisioned, it wasn't entirely as I saw it ending. However, that did not make it a bad ending at all. I actually think with the way some of the earlier events played out that the ending fit. It's sad to see the Deadly trilogy come to an end. We've all fallen in low with Aidan and Jade. Routed them on and silently screamed at her for being a stubborn brat at times. I can totally see a spinoff and or novella at some point in the future (hint, hint) however, if it never happens I can say that I feel sated with the Deadly Trilogy.
August 25, 2014
Deadly Pack is the last book in the Deadly Trilogy. The pack is finally able to work together and more functional then they have been in the previous books. This book ends the trilogy strongly and I would highly recommend this trilogy to anyone who is looking for great books to read. I loved the characters and reading the different perspectives of the characters. Overall this trilogy is well written and I'm going to miss reading about Jade and Aiden's pack.

Great
A great conclusion to this awesome series. I loved the characters and their storylines. Jade was a strong female character.

It's been a long time since I've read a self published book as I find that they have editing issues more often than not, I can't get through them then, and it's a waste of time when I could be reading something I'll actually enjoy.
But I was in the mood for something with werewolves and decided to give this one a go. And every once in a blue moon, a hidden gem can be discovered in the self publishing world, and this is what happened here.
The editing was top notch, the characters were likeable, or unlikeable, as the story required. Awesome!!
Oh, and the first book is free so it costs nothing to give it a go :)

Loved it.

Loved the trilogy! My only real complaint is that it was only 3 books. The author did a great job creating a believable world of shifters & humans. She could have easily taken it further & added a couple more books. I'll probably try reading her other series of books, since I like her writing style.
May 20, 2017
I really liked this book! It was a great end to the series, although I didn't think there was one thing missing!! I don't think we saw a seen were Aidan fully submitted publicly to jade (the baring neck thing) like she did for him in the previous book! I think it would have been nice seeing as the mated pair are meant to fully submit to each other, but hey ho!! I loved it anyway!

Good book. Good storyline I had a hard time putting the book down. I couldn't wait to start reading again. Sometimes I stayed up way later than normal because I didn't want to stop reading.

Better than the sequel
This was a nice ending, and it had me drawn in so much I couldn’t put it down. A good ending and some surprising twists and turns I did not expect, still a struggle for jades dominance to show but less submission on her part in this one.

The story itself is great. Girl living in a town where humans and werewolves co-exist, pack Alpha is a dick. Strange wolf rolls into town, enters bar and sees said Alpha beating up a female, deals with it and becomes the new Alpha.
Meets the girl and it's insta love..inner wolf attraction and all that..
Girl gets bitten..by the way she hates the pack. and becomes one of them..even better, the female Alpha.
Girls father, unbeknownst to her, is a shifter. An evil shifter.
You get it.
It was a great story line..but it just was not executed right in my opinion. As I am reading i find myself asking a lot..but why..or..why would you do that..or..shut the hell up..lol.
And then the whole reason daddy did this was because he wanted to unite the pack? But why? He hated them, they 'stole' the land. Was he suppose to be portrayed as a nut job?
The Jared situation was....unusual. Why did you like him so much when he seemed like such a dick. Then she becames an enforcer and really didn't learn squat, she sat back and gaped like an ass most of the time, yet the brothers were hers?
The Dom situation..unecessary. it was just not clear. Didn't understand that friendship.
Trevor and Mac..why was she even in the story? is she going to stay human? they sure got rid of her dad fast enough.
This book is definately suited for a YA crowd, when I was 13 though I was reading Steven King. Don't underestimate what and how teens read, the will surprise you.

This is the third installment of the Deadly Trilogy. I love Ashley Stoyanoff’s voice as an author in these books. It’s very strong and unique, making for a smooth and clean read. Deadly Pack is a novel about werewolves, their two new pack leaders Jade and Aiden, and the danger of the cougar pack plotting against them. This book has had very good transition into its action and serious scenes, you could almost say it was seamless. Now, I did have a big problem with this book, which was the morally questionable actions (for example, being by-standers to murder and abuse) of the main protagonists. As a pack, and in the pack dynamic, there are some things done that I can’t see a normal person just standing by and let happen. This most definitely takes away a lot of relatability from the pack and their leaders. Relatability can make or break a book, and unfortunately for Deadly Pack, it broke this book. It just maintained bearable status. I give this book two stars.

It Had Such Promise
I had thoroughly enjoyed book one and two wasn't too bad either. For being the final book to this trilogy I was hoping for epic but didn't get what I expected. The author was able to fret out the deal with Jeff, Jades father. This final book lacked the same kind of chemistry and excitement. Jade being an alpha was too unsure of herself. To me alphas are supposed to be dominant and strong regardless of the situation. The author didn't have Jades character play the right role. Now Aidan, he wasn't too bad. He continued to play the strong alpha. It was nice seeing new characters brought into the mix. Overall this whole trilogy was a good read if you combine and average them all together. It is a nice clean YA paranormal romance, perfect for young readers.

Fast-paced, action-packed conclusion to a great wolf shifter series. Jade and Aiden are struggling as new alphas to work together, unite their pack, and simultaneously figure out what Jade's father and his werecougars are up to with their sneaky deals and surprise confrontations in the little town of Dog Mountain. I really enjoyed watching both Aiden and Jade grow as leaders and as a couple in this story, and their motley crew play off them well and bloom as individuals themselves. I read this one really fast to keep up with all the intensity. The conclusion is extremely satisfying and had me on edge until the last few pages!

A nice conclusion to the series although I thought it ended a little conveniently. The pacing was good, but it seems to me like the reader was constantly in suspense.
The characters didn't have a whole lot of development in this one, which was ok since they grew so much in the other books, but what was up with Jade? She was just all over the place and her emotions yoyo'd a little too much for my liking.
I still enjoyed this conclusion. It was a quick read and a satisfactory conclusion, if a little rushed.

I love this series. I love Jade and Aidan together. They faced so many things since they first met. I've been waiting for Jeff to finally get what he deserved. I was surprised thought that Jeff thought he could actually win and get Jade to make a deal. I was so happy that they rescued the kids even more surprised that they where her dads. I loved that Jades mom Pam took them in it was adorable. I wish that there was more to the series of Jade and Aidan and finding Jason.

I dragged this book out as long as I could because I wasn’t ready for this series to end it has been my joy reading this series. Oh by the way thank you for the ending you gave us at the previous book it had a much better ending than the first book. Stoyanoff takes you on a wild ride while wrapping everything up nicely. I like Tara she has some spunk.
