The Guardian's Prophecy
Zoologist Kate Riley knows the stories of the wolf being an evil killing machine are wrong. She spent her own money establishing the Lenape Wolf Preserve to teach the public the truth. But now there are mysterious killings in the town near the preserve. The victims’ throats have been torn out by a large canine-like animal and suspicion falls on Kate’s wolves. Although the wolves are micro-chipped and none have escaped from the preserve, the DA has issued a Cease and Desist Order against Kate’s Preserve.
Kate is also receiving information from fellow scientists around the world that there is an increase in earthquake activity and a solar flare anomaly larger than the one prior to Hurricane Katrina. The flare is lasting so long that it could begin to affect the grid, causing a problem with communication.
The murders continue and the local police call Kate and another specialist, Patrick Brendan, to assist in the investigations. Kate is attracted to Brendan but not to his theory, the possibility that the murders were done by something un-natural, like a werewolf. Her scientific mind will not accept something so illogical. But could someone be killing people and making it look like it was done by a wolf? And if so, why?
As Kate and Brendan are thrown together for the investigations and again at the Preserve, Kate begins to think that it’s more than fate. He seems to know too much about what’s happening and Kate wonders if Brendan could have anything to do with the murders.

I absolutely loved this book. It's a fresh take on the werewolf legend. The characters are well-developed and the action fast-paced. The plot and story definitely deserve five-stars. The only reason I didn't rate it as a five was because there were some proofreading issues (not severe) and some formatting between scene changes would have helped the story flow a little better. However, I would highly recommend this book if you enjoy paranormal and fantasy romance. I really hope the author plans a sequel or series. I would love to see what happens as the world changes and technology is lost -- how the characters react - maybe get to know some of the other guardians and keepers of the old ways.

The beginning information to set the story confused me and I needed to re-read it a second time. So, if you read this book, pay attention.
The story flows smoothly and is entertaining. The thoughts on the solar flares affecting the Earth, the migrating animals and other information about natural disasters certainly bring thoughts to mind.
I loved the way Kate's character is represented and also Dr. Devlin (he's sleazy enough to dislike).
This book is a recommended read.

I enjoyed it. A developer has his sights set on a wold preserve, and pulls out all the stops on getting it closed. The woman who has devoted her life to the preserve seems to be surrounded by supporters, but are they false friends?

This is a very well written book by a knowledgeable author (history, sociology, psychology) with educated, highly qualified protagonists helping the reader suspend their disbelief while a legend comes to life. The trick in such instances is “gradualism” – the building of the picture using convincing detail while gradually weaving in those strands of the story that would otherwise be hard to swallow. Mitzi Flyte handles it brilliantly: you know you’re in safe hands from the first few chapters and feel yourself relaxing into a gripping tale being expertly spun.
Zoologist Dr Kate Riley is “a workaholic with a highly developed sense of responsibility”, determined to keep the land that has been in her family for generations as a preserve for wolves. A mob-related Finance Corporation wants it for a casino and will go to any lengths to acquire it. However, that is only one of her worries. There are increasing signs that cataclysmic natural disasters on a global scale may herald the end of human civilisation as we know it. Should that happen, the technology-dependent creature that we have become will have to go back to “the old ways” in order to survive.
To do that, they will need “Keepers of the Old Ways” to instruct them: wise women with the knowledge implanted in them from hundreds – even thousands - of years ago, women with “guardians” who ensure that their genetic memories survive through countless generations, ready to be awakened when the time is right. That time is almost upon us; and since she was a child, Kate has had disturbing dreams in which she is running with a gigantic wolf in the woods…
I’m trying to tell you just enough to tempt you to read ‘The Guardian’s Prophecy’ for yourself. Ms Flyte weaves a strong story with rounded characters, convincing dialogue and enticing detail as she brings her reader slowly to the point where they must accept, with the ultra-sceptical Dr Riley, that the evidence is overwhelming. There really ARE werewolves…
