Wolfegang #2
Riding on Whispers
Katerina’s brother is keeping secrets…
I used to be a normal college girl, but now I’m a fugitive running from the Galactic Federation as I frantically search for my twin brother. He is only spoken about in whispers by the ones who know him. I finally have a location – Enzo – but it’s a top secret, military base that performs genetic enhancements and alterations on soldiers. It’s the last place I should go, but I don’t have a choice – not if I want to find Kris. I’m afraid of what I’ll learn. Will I find the answers I’ve been looking for, or will I be walking into a trap?

Decent read. Obviously a continuation from another book, as I'm still not exactly sure who some of the characters are, or what happened to motivate them. However, there is a plot that is slightly engaging enough ro keep you reading
Beware, this is not a stand-alone book.
There are several grammar mistakes and some inconsistencies. Needs another proof read and a quick edit to make it better. For example, "Chase went back to door" should have been caught by an editor. There are a few of these types of mistakes, as well as some repeated ideas expressed within a few paragraphs.
In addition to the grammar mistakes, there are several things the book needs changed regarding spaceflight. To begin with, water reclamation is admittedly needed, but even with reclamation there will have to be replenishment during their trips due to evaporation, drinking water, etc. Water loss is inevitable, no matter how much it's recycled. Next, throwing a grenade on a space station would be suicide for the whole area that can't be closed off from the blast. This is standard knowledge in any science fiction book, and I'm not sure how it was missed.
It also irritated me that she didn't want to know what was going on with her brother, and then she did. The internal dialogue got a little tiring as it was the same things over and over and over again. The book only truly got interesting at the end, and then it was done. Too much of a cliffhanger, and not enough closure.
Despite the mistakes, I may read the next book. It's an intriguing idea, and the writing is better than most.
For my clean readers: language and violence, though no f-bomb.

Kat and her Wolfegang crew allies continue the search for her twin brother Kris. We learn more about Celeste, Ricky and Wolfe, and that they have secrets yet to be discovered. Kat learns more about her genetically enhanced abilities. This novel has some great action and fight scenes. It was a fast exciting read. Kat's sense of loss in terms of her old life is conveyed well by the author. I wouldn't have minded if it was longer in order to have more world building. I'm looking forward to the third book.

Perfect mix of suspense, humor and action with a sprinkle of intrigue. It kept me hooked the entire time. Keeps you wondering what will happen next and what else will be revealed. Enjoyed this author and will be reading her more.

How should I start this review?
Riding on Whispers is the third installment to the Wolfegang series. I have read and reviewed the first two books and I am back to talk about this one now. It turns out that finding her brother is going to be harder than we first expected.
Kat starts to get a bit closer to the Wolfegang crew and I am not sure who I like more Wolfe or Ricky. Kris and Kat are not the only ones with secrets. They all have them, I am finding it extremely fun to find out what they are. I mean they have to spill the bean soon right? Lol
This book did have me laughing the entire time, (but keep in mind I have a weird humor) anyways. The thing I like the most about this book (and the others) is the action! I think that if I am going to leave the romance books, I would have to read the actions ones. The books that gets your heart racing, your blood pumping and has you sitting on the edge of your seat. Twist and turns kept me guessing in this book and I never knew what is going to happen next!
The fourth books is coming up next and I have to say that I am extremely excited to see where this author takes me next!

This amazing book is so great. I mean wow. Being the second book in a series you always wonder if it will be as great as the first book.
Well it was even better I think.
Because not only do we learn that Katerina is not entirely human anymore, but her brother may not be either. Katerina heals so much faster then a human does. So she has to hide this from everyone, including hiding that she is comes from the past.. 500 hundred years ago past.
Only Ricky the alien who can read her mind knows Katerina's secrets. Because now she can also speak to Ricky using her mind. Whatever the doctors injected into her has enhanced her mind and everything.
Chase Wolfe the captain is falling for Katerina, but still wants to know her secrets.. Why doesn't she know where her brother is? How did she lose him? How can she seem like she heals quicker then others?
When Chase decides to go to a army base with clues about Kris, Katerina's brother things don't go as planned.
This base is suppose to be so secret, and getting on it and off of it will be very hard to do. Will Katerina finally open up about her past to Chase and allow him to really help her? Will her brother Kris be at this secret base? Or will it be more clues to a never ending puzzle?

This series just gets better and better. Riding on Whispers has to be one of my favorite YA sic-fi novels ever. Kat is still on the search to find her twin Brother Kris. That leads her and the Wolfegang crew all over the galaxy. I love how much the characters grow with every book. I normally stop reading series because the characters get stagnant. Kat’s relationships with her crew members are tested multiple times. Ricky shows a bit more of himself. As my favorite character (besides Kat) that really excited me. If you haven’t read Jillian Ashe’s work, you’re missing out. She is truly a talented writer. 5/5

Bread crumbs to follow
In this book Kat is following a bread crumb to find her brother. And for some reason Wolfe is helping her. Ricky the only crew member that can read minds, know more about Kat then he's willing to tell the Captain. And Kat is trying to find her footing and feel useful. Lots of action and adventure in this well written and very entertaining story.

The book was interesting, and the story advanced quite a bit too, but the best part is getting to know the characters and their motivations this much more, some things were quite obvious and some quite surprising, all in all a great book and a great read.

The third in a series and easily the best of the the three.
This is an author who is learning her craft and is getting better.

Great story
I think book 2 is better than book and I can't wait to read book 3. It's a great story for any age reader that enjoys syfi.

Ugh...I got to 53% and I just couldn't do it anymore. I'm sorry, but this book and the previous one bothered me. The protagonist is so weak. And the author consistently sets her up to be weak so a man can swoop in and save her. All through the book, and the previous one, she talks about how strong she is, but, internally, she's a fricken mess. There is no real character growth between the first book and the second. It's so hard to relate to the protagonist, I just can't do it anymore. So much promise. I was enjoying her learning, hinting that there will be growth in this new future, but it kept getting smacked down by her need to have a man in her life and no real learning. This book is a thumbs down for me.
