Zephyr is the third and final installment in the Pebble Stone Chronicles by Huckleberry Rahr. It is a lovely ending to a fantastic series. This series follows the Jade Stone Chronicles, so there are spoilers for that one.
This book picks up directly after the conclusion of book two, Yugen. The pack wolves are facing an attack from the lone wolves, and Pebble has found her mate. Can the new pair navigate their bond, the danger to the packs, and college?
Huckleberry Rahr excels at creating fantasy worlds that are rich in magic yet seamlessly integrated with the human world, requiring minimal suspension of disbelief to remain fully immersed and engaged.
Another strength of this author is the ability to represent multilayered teenage characters who are intelligent, mature, emotional, and very likable for their distinct personalities. For example, Pebble’s affinity for silly graphic tees offers insight into a lighter aspect of her character.
The lone wolf attacks serve more as a backdrop for character development, pack dynamics, and a strong emphasis on family. The Wisconsin pack presents a beautiful home, physically and metaphorically, in the way that it is a place of belonging for a diverse group of people, werewolves and otherwise. They emphasize connection, support, and purpose. Rahr's worlds are queernormative and trans-affirming.
The subplot involving Fern and their multiple transitions is particularly compelling and thoughtfully developed.
I enjoy Pebble and Luna getting to know one another better. They become quite sweet together. I would like to have seen more of their closeness developed in this story. Subtle, character-consistent actions illustrate Luna’s growing attachment to and protectiveness over Pebble.
I felt the strain of relationships between Pebble, Fern, and Hollis when things became complicated.
I appreciate the use of dining together as a significant part of daily pack life. It is an integral job of some of the pack members to provide food for the pack. This is necessary, as their transformations and use of abilities require substantial sustenance. It is also a time of bonding through socializing for fun and sharing concerns, etc., which helps strengthen the family.
Although the Pebble Stone Chronicles concludes here—for now—I would welcome further installments exploring Pebble and her friends as adults, should the author choose to continue the series.
I have read two of Huckleberry Rahr's young adult series and thoroughly enjoyed them both. This author is on my auto-read list, and I highly recommend them.

I received a free ARC from the author. This is my honest opinion.

I enjoyed the last book of the Pebble Stone trilogy, and rated it as four and a half stars. It closed out the series well, and tied up all the lose endings. The story moved at a fast pace, and I read the whole book in just two sittings.
I enjoyed how Pebble and Luna’s relationship developed slowly over the three books, with Zephyr finally seeing them moving solidly into dating and growing as alphas of the Wisconsin pack. Although personality wise Pebble chose a woman exactly like Jade’s wife Brooke.
Pebble also grew in power, and found her pack throughout the series. She was always mature for her age, but I did wish at times that she would ask for more help, and maybe quit her job as a college guide just because she’s over stretching.
Overall this was a fun book to read, although a little predictable. I’ll miss the Stone family, and all of the characters in these books. I will definitely be reading this trilogy, and Jade’s series again.

With Zephyr, Rahr throws readers into a thrilling world where a college semester is anything but typical for Pebble and the Wisconsin pack. Having dedicated her life to honing her premonitions, Pebble finds her abilities clouded just when her pack faces an insidious threat: a traitor within their ranks.
The story kicks off with a twist of fate, revealing the mole responsible for the recent attacks on their territory. With the new semester looming, the pack is determined to neutralize the threat and reclaim their lives. But just as Pebble believes they can finally focus on college life, friends, and studies, a chilling question arises: Has she let her guard down too soon? This book promises a suspenseful ride as Pebble navigates murky visions and fights to protect her pack from an unseen enemy.
Zephyr is, sadly, the last in the Pebble series and the Jade Stone world in general.
I always find myself wanting each series to keep going because I enjoy Rahr's writing so much. Thankfully she's written a few other series that I also love so hopefully there's a lot more to come from this talented, imaginative and creative author!

Loved it, like all the others.
It makes me sad that this is the last book, but I still really enjoyed this series as well as Jade's story before that.
Pebble and Luna work through their relationship, making big decisions. Not only for the pack but for them as well. With the lone wolves making trouble, they all are under a lot of stress and a lot of things happen all over, so much so that Pebble forgets to celebrate her birthday.
In the end everything works out on all fronts, and the rogue wolves are taken care of.
Thank you Huckleberry for writing such amazing stories for is to enjoy.
