Tarker's Hollow: Fate of the Alpha #1-3

Fate of the Alpha: The Complete Bundle

Contains All Three Episodes of Fate of the Alpha! Something wicked is headed for Tarker's Hollow...

Ainsley Connor is faced with her toughest challenge yet. With her mate gone, she’s left alone to defend her territory from rival wolves, dark magic, and worst of all, the threat of losing her pack if she doesn’t impress her superiors.

Erik Jensen is not who he claims to be. When he comes to the shifter town of Copper Creek to help after a mining accident, he discovers there is more going on than meets the eye. Now he must uncover the secret of the sleepy little town, before the wolves discover his.

Grace Kwan-Cortez knows how tough it is being a cop in a town full of shape-shifters, magic and who knows what else. What she isn’t prepared for are the feelings she can’t seem to shake since meeting Julian. And she can’t decide which option she dreads more, that he ensnared her in some sort of spell, or that the feelings might actually be real.

Julian Magie is in possession of certain information. Information that could change Tarker’s Hollow, and the world, forever. Torn between his sworn duty and his allegiance to his friends, Julian must decide who to trust, and where his true loyalties lie.

˃˃˃ A Complete Story...

This complete bundle is 'da bomb' :) Tasha Black knows how to grab your attention from the get-go and keep it beyond the ending, then leaves you addicted & craving more :o lol ... Each of the 3 episodes is well thought-out and flows seamlessly! ... Somehow, each episode tops the previous 5 star episode, which means I'm giving this bundle a 6 star rating ;) lol ...

Always well developed characters (whether carried over from the first bundle, ‘Curse of the Alpha,’ or newly added ones) with amazing detailed descriptions that pull you into the story, like a movie playing in your head! ... Also, I love the great supporting cast of unique and interesting characters as well as the 2 likable protagonists, Ainsley & Erik and not just for their smoldering sexy love scenes ;) ... Plus, there are plenty of twists & turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat and the pages turning! ...

This were/shifter, romantic suspense must read, is paranormal fiction at its best! ... Included are spellbinding elements of both light & dark magic and yet other times there are fun moments of humor sprinkled throughout! ...

I strongly recommend this fantastic serial novel, as well as any of this talented author's works :) Having all 3 episodes in this one bundle will save you from becoming frustrated (due to the awesome cliffhangers at the end of the first two episodes) like I was having to wait in between :o lol ... But, make sure you have plenty of time to read coz once you start, you will NOT want to put it down! ... Oh, and be ready for an awesome surprise ending in the last Fate of the Alpha #3! ... This is for 18+ an adult read that I highly recommend :)

I was very fortunate to be given this to read in exchange for an honest review, and I honestly love this & everything I've ever read from this soon-to-be bestselling author :D

Recensione:
Ci ritroviamo di nuovo nella cittadina di Tarker's Hollow, dove ormai la nostra Ainsley si è insediata e divide la sua vita con l'amato compagno, una scelta molto sofferta ma che alla fine ha dato a Ainsley una vita felice e appagata da mutaforme, con enormi responsabilità che lei accetta con molta naturalezza ora che ha lasciato che la natura avesse il sopravvento su di lei e sul branco.
Ma da un grande potere oltre a derivare grandi responsabilità deridevano anche guai, dolore e perdite.

Ainsley desiderò potersi colpire sul muso con un giornale. Fai più attenzione alle tracce e meno ai ragazzi, sporcacciona pelosa! Ma era quasi sicura che sarebbe stata una causa persa.

Nel proseguo di questa avventura Ainsley dovrà fare i conti con la magia.
Una magia terrificante, ad averne il potere sono gli Oscuri esseri malvagi che una volta liberati dalla loro prigionia da stregoni con l'intento ultimo del potere, potrebbero essere la causa della fine di tutto.

C'era solo il suo compagno alto, scuro, bellissimo, caldo e nudo. Prima che riuscisse a capire cosa stesse succedendo, l'aveva buttata a terra e bloccata sulla schiena.

i nostri eroi cercheranno di combattere con tutte le armi disponibili queste forze maligne, e da avvenimento a avvenimento sarà un susseguirsi di colpi di scena che vi terranno col fiato sospeso e inchiodati al libro fino alla fine, e niente e nulla vi sarà risparmiato, questa guerra non farà prigionieri!
In puro stile Tasha Black.

Erik aveva sempre amato gli animali e sapeva che il serpente non gli voleva fare alcun male, ma il suo cuore batteva come se fosse in pericolo mortale. E perché la cicatrice gli bruciava? Non era mica Harry Potter, cazzo.

Inutile dire che aspetto con ansia la pubblicazione del seguito, spero che l'autrice accolga la mia più che sentita richiesta e non ci faccia aspettare molto per il " to be continued".

*Anche in questo secondo volume ci sono delle scene di sesso "molto calienti".

Alla prossima

This series was a real page turner from the first page to the last. It was gifted to me by a friend and it was an incredible read. The writing is excellent and the characters are incredible. The action scenes and anything in between kept me locked on the page and at the end of each book, I just had to read the next book because the cliffhangers from one book to the next were teeth grinding to say the least. If you love wolf shifters, delectable sex scenes, nemesis that you just feel like going into the book to kill yourself as well as settings you just want to live into that you can easily relate to, this is the series for you!

This is book 2 (A Tarker Hollow Romance). It is a standalone novel but is so much, much better when read in order. That said, I thought Book 1 (The Curse of the Alpha) was wonderful and this book was even better. As I am reading this book I was unconsciously hearing sinister music in the background. There is so many twists to this tale, with beloved characters and not so beloved characters. A page turner. Strong storylines and stronger women. Romance(steamy, love deep within), suspense, paranormal. Expect the unexpected. Bravo! I am looking forward to book 3.

I received a free copy of this book via Bookfunnel and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Shifters are guardians and ignorant of the fact

Many shifter communities were established near hidden tombs of ancient evil beings. The clans had lived so long the lure of the ancients was forgotten and kept only by a few of the oldest members. Now the people dedicated to freeing th evil unto the world see an opportunity to take over in Tarkers Hollow. They separate Erick from his wolf and look for the key to free the portal. Very cool stuff with a bit of romance thrown in. Looking forward to the next book.

There's a few spots that im confused over like what excately happened 2 Ophelia, why would Julian kill himself when he wanted a true love and b with Grace, etc. It's sad that the one pack alpha's died leaving his wife and kids but at least Eric was able 2 help alot in spite of him loosing his wolf even temporary. But I don't understand how excately he got it back cause the girl was only 15. But it's really good that the pack moved in with this pack 2 straighten the #s. There's alot of unanswered questions I have but hopefully asap I'll get answers.

In this book, we learn that there are more than shifters that exist in Tarker's Hollow, which threaten the lives of the packs. At the same time as facing this threat, Ainsley has to prove to a ruling body called the Federation that she is fit to lead the pack as an Alpha. With dark magic manifesting itself, Ainsley has a lot to contend with. This book was definitely more exciting and absorbing in the series, and I am looking forward to reading the next and last one in the series to see how everything pans out.

This is a great bundle! I enjoyed set more so that The Curse of the Alpha set (I did like that as well). I feel Ainsley's character development is stronger in this book. I truly enjoyed the dynamic between Grace and Julian. There is definitely an air of sadness to these books that radiates throughout for many of the characters. I look forward to readying the final set of books in the series.

The story continues. Cannot help getting caught up in what's happening in Tarkers Hollow and the hot men, strong women and true friendships they share. And yes sex. You never know what to expect as you are entertained. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough! Cannot get enough of this authors writings. Five stars for sure.

Ainsley and Erik have developed a deeper love for each other. Ainsley is working on her magic. Erik feels a little lost. He loses a piece of himself. Grace finds love, but circumstances are not in her favor. Erik gets sent away and becomes more.

Another great box set in this series. Of course they are written with cliffhangers so that you have to read the next set to find out what happens. Am so glad that one of the main characters survived. Not going to mention whom or what sex they are. That is for you to find out.

I received the Fate of the Alpha Bundle as a gift for an honest review.

Fate of the Alpha Serial Trilogy continues where Curse of the Alpha left off. I recommend you read that serial first to get a grasp on all the characters backgrounds and see how they evolve into the characters you see now in Fate of the Alpha.
In Fate of the Alpha we are introduced to new characters but we mostly follow Ainsley the Alpha of the Tarker’s Hollow Pack, Eric her mate, Grace her best friend and a cop in Tarker’s Hollow and her budding romance with Julian, a mage.

In Fate of the Alpha, Episode One:
This book starts exactly where the Curse of the Alpha Serial left off. Ainsley Connor and Erik Jensen are mates and Ainsley is now Alpha of her pack. She must learn to use and control her magical abilities to help protect her pack against the “Magic Book” that contains spells to hurt wolves. If that’s not enough here come a dark force threatening her and those she loves. Not everyone is who they seem, there are traitors amiss pretending to be friends. Who are her friends and whom should she fear? Will Ainsley be able to figure out friend from foe before it’s too late?

In Fate of the Alpha, Episode Two:
Episode 2 picks up exactly where Episode 1 ended. Ainsley Connor has accepted her wolf, her magic, her mate, and being Alpha of her Pack. Julian Magie continues to teach Ainsley more about how to control and manipulate her magic. Grace Kwan-Cortez, Ainsley's best friend, is growing into her skin as well as her new role as sheriff. Together the three of them are working hard to find out what kind of evil is festering in Tarker's Hollow. As they get closer to solving the mystery and identifying who is responsible for stealing Eric’s wolf in Episode 1, the sexual tension between Grace and Julian becomes harder for either of them to ignore and Ainsley comes to terms that someone who she knew since childhood is not a friend but an enemy. Will Grace and Julian continue to ignore the sexual tension between them or succumb to their feelings? Will Ainsley figure out who the traitor in their midst is before it’s too late? Can Ainsley and Grace trust Julian who seems to have loyalties elsewhere?
Where is Eric Jensen, Ainsley’s mate in all this? Ophelia and the Council send Erik to Copper Creek, a mining town in need of a new Alpha. When he arrives he realizes there is more going on then he was led to believe. Will Erik be able to help the werewolf community of Copper Creek?

In Fate of the Alpha, Episode Three:
In this final episode Ainsley as Alpha has truly come into her own. She is finally able to balance the magic and her inner wolf. She will need both to battle the evil that has awaken in Tarker’s Hollow. However, she will not be the only one making sacrifices for her pack and those she loves. Eric, her mate, who no longer has his wolf, lost to the evil that they now fight also will have to make sacrifices to help both the Tarker’s Hollow and Copper’s Creek pack where he was sent to help in the last book.
Ainsley realizes who her true friends and allies are but will it be too late? Will Ainsley’s allies work together as a team to help eliminate the world of the evil? Grace, Ainsley's best friend and police officer for Tarker's Hollow finally accepts her feelings for Julian, a mage, but will she be able to make sacrifices to ensure the survival of all? Does Julian throw away his loyalty for love? This story is of sacrifices made for the greater good. Will some make the ultimate sacrifice? Will love and loyalty triumph over evil and betrayal? Will Eric get his wolf back? Do Ainsley and Eric get a HEA? Do Grace and Julian have a HEA? You will have to read the book to find out!

Tasha Black has written magical serial that has the power to enthrall you until the very end! You think you have everything figured out and know what to expect next and bam Ms. Black throws a curve ball that leaves you shocked and begging for more! I hope this is not the last of Tarker's Hollow. I highly recommend this serial, it’s a definite must read by Tasha Black! I look forward to your future books.

Title : Fate Of The Alpha Bundle
Author : Tasha Black
Reviewed by : Stephanie Jordan
☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
Episode 1
Ms. Black continued on from the last book of "Curse of the Alpha" had left off. This book was just like her other books you just can't put it down. I have read many books that I love the author, but it becoming that Tasha Black will be one of my Top Ten Authors.
Ainsley Conner became Alpha to her father's pack in Tarker's Hollow. She has come a long way, not only to learn to be a good Alpha but also a Witch. Erik Jensen her Mate is teaching her how all the smells relate to someone or something. It was very hard but gratifying work plus she love running as her wolf. This wasn't all she is learning though , she was trying to learn magic from Julian Magie but it seemed to be harder than being an Alpha. One day as Erik and Ainsley were checking out there territory yellow leaves began to circle Ainsley it turned into black smoke circling around and around her body and than it became a big snake. Ainsley was mesmerized by this that all she could do was stare and than this big black wolf jumped at her and pushed her down laying on top of her to protect her. But Erik was bite and lay unconscious. Yes, this is my cliffhanger but you'll have another one at the end of this book..
Episode 2
I have decided that Tasha Black is a very gifted writer. She's has you hooked by the second page and honey your not going anywhere until you finish this book. All the twists and turn make it so exciting
Ms. Black started Episode 2 right where Episode 1 stopped.
Ainsley Conner the new Alpha and a new wolf is slowly but surely getting her feet on the ground and growing into her skin.
Julian is teaching Ainsley what she needs to yield her magic. And Ainsley is powerful.
Grace and Julian are both fighting each other attractions, the more they fight themselves you can see they will come together I hope. Yes , everything is starting to come together but Erik who is far away at another Pack. Every night Erik asks the moon to give him back his wolf so he can protect Ainsley ,he misses. her so much. Every night Ainsley wishes her mate would come back to her. Ainsley knows evil is coming when and how is a different matter.
Episode 3
Five Stars that's all I'm allowed to give this Episode 3, so not fair do they give stars for series well I would give Ms. Black 300 stars. That right each Episode gets a 100 stars so the series gets 300. To bad it doesn't work that way because this is a Great Series. Episode 3 being the final it was so good, but I'm heart broken I want more.
Ainsley Conner is Alpha of the
Tarker's Hollow Pack in the town of
Tarker's Hollow finally able to maneuver her wolf and practicing magic secretly because the Federation would take away her as Alpha because wolves do not like witch magic. I feel that wasn't bad enough she missed Erik with heart and soul and scared she was never seeing him again.
Erik Jensen has been torn away because of Pack Politics they sent him away from his Love of his Life and his Pack. Little did the Federation know and was even kept a secret from the Pack but Erik lost his wolf.
A lot of things do not add up in this other Pack and Erik had to find out why and not be killed while figuring out what's happening. Mean while he misses his Ainsley everyday he thinks of her luscious breasts, beautiful hair. No he can't do this to himself he needs to think about business first. Will Erik's be injured because his wolf is gone? Will Erik's wolf come back? I was gifted this ARC for an honest and truthful review.

Read the thrilling conclusion of Fate of the Alpha: A Tarker's Hollow Serial written exquisitely by Tasha Black. Follow along as Ainsely Conner and her friends fight evil in order to save Tarker's Hollow from impending doom.

Fate of the Alpha: Episode 1

Fate of the Alpha: Episode 1 starts off where Curse of the Alpha left off. The author wastes no time in bringing the reader update on our heroine, Ainsley. We also get a glimpse of Erik, her mate. She has accepted her wolf and even finds it thrilling to run in this form. However, she is still learning how to be a wolf and working on developing her other powers. Her friend Grace Kwan-Cortez is still around and helping Ainsley stay grounded. Julian is still in the picture and has even become a mentor of sorts. However, don't assume that everything is as it appears. Friends are not always friends and not everything will unfold as you think it should!

Fate of the Alpha: Episode 2

In epsiode two we find our heroine, Ainsley, coping with the absence of her mate, protecting her territory from other packs, and trying to stop a dark magic that threatens the lives of the Tarker's Hollow residents. In addition to everything that is going on with Ainsley, she must now prove that she is a capable alpha. In this episode, we also get a glimpse of the feelings developing between Grace, Ainsley's best friend and Julian. But can Grace get passed the secret that Julian has been hiding? And what will happen to Ainsley and Tarker's Hollow?

Fate of the Alpha: Episode 3

Our heroine Ainsley Conner is fighting to save her pack and must make a decision that will test her friendship with Grace Kwan-Cortez. Erik is still trying to cope with a personal loss that leaves him feeling like half the man he used to be and being away from Ainsley. Grace, has realized that her feelings for Julian are deeper than she thought. And Julian must decide between his duty and his love for Grace. Decisions and revelations will change things for our brave pack leader and her friends. Follow along as they try and stop evil from destroying Tarker's Hollow and Copper Creek.

If you enjoy an action packed book with numerous cliffhangers and revelations, then I highly suggest you read this bundle.

I love reading Tasha's Books. The storyline is Fantastic, captivating and you read until you finish all three even if you have read them before. I read each book individual and as the bungle and I know I can read this series again, Tasha is a awesome storyteller, her books will entertain us for years to come. The characters are strong, funny, sexy and Fascinating. Tasha writes with her heart and soul and when you read her books you can feel this as you read. Because they never disappoint.

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Love This Bungle

Fate of the Alpha: Episode 1
This is amazing start to this series. Ainsley is back after parents death and learning as she fill her Alpha shoes. She finds that things don't always go her way. Because she is having a time getting the hang of magic. She has discovered there is a lone wolf in her territory. There is a member of her pack in a coma. While out running she gets attacked and her mate gets hurt.

Fate of the Alpha: Episode 2
As the things in Tarker's Hollow are heating up. Eric is sent a way to help a pack who has an emergency. Eric isn't sure he can help with him not feelin his wolf and can they tell his wolf is missing? Ainsley is being pulled in so many ways she feels unsure as strange things continue to happen! This is a Magnificent episode! I'm so excited to read episode 3.

Fate of the Alpha: Episode 3
The concIusion is stunning everything we have come to expect in the Tarker's Hollow serial. OMG!! Ainsley has to fight for her pack and she is more than ready to save her pack and everyone she loves. Eric is still at the other pack having to fight. There is twist and turns and you may want a box of Kleenex handy but this was so engaging! I hated it to end I would love a visit with Ainsley and her pack again.

I highly recommend this series it's AWESOME!

Fate of the Alpha Complete Bundle by Tasha Black No cliffhanger! You have it all. Something Evil has come to Tarker's Hollow!

This is the most incredible episodic journey I have ever taken. Tasha Black has given us complex characters who obviously speak to her, a plot full of twists and turns and mystery. She is a phenomenal writer and storyteller

The characters from Curse of the Alpha: Ainsley Connor, Grace Kwan-Cortez, Erik Jensen, Julian Magie and Charley Coslaw are back to confuse us. Whose side are these people on? New Characters: Landon Shepard, Garrett Sanderson and Olivia Winter complicate things by adding more good or is it evil to the story? There are lurkers in the college wood: stray wolves trying to take over as Alpha, Clive Warren, former Sheriff and someone else looking to do damage.

Ainsley has so much to learn. Starting with how to be a wolf! The Magic Book that was found in Curse of the Alpha only has spells to hurt wolves. Ainsley must find the missing link to this magic. What is it she is missing? Where could it be hidden? The Wolf Council has sent Erik to Copper Creek where more is going on than Erik was led to believe. The alpha of the pack, lost in the mining accident, knew something very evil was under Copper Creek. This evil is also in Tarker’s Hollow and only the correct person wielding the right magic will drive it back into captivity.

The very hot, steamy bedroom scenes are vastly different from pair to pair. What incredible scenes: M/F, F/M/F and another surprising M/F. So different, so very effective.

Ms. Black has created a world unique in paranormal romance. Did I mention that there are scenes that are HOT? You want these characters to be real, want them to be your friends. Thank you, Tasha for an incredible series. Another 5 Star read!

YAY... I love when serials get all boxed together, when I found out Tasha's 'Fate of an Alpha' was bundled I was very happy. When bundled they are easier to read & you don't have to wait for the next part... especially when you have cliffhangers by Tasha. I love not having to wait for the next episode to go live, reading through the entire serial is always better than waiting, although I did wait for each of the episodes to come out.

'Fate of the Alpha' is part of the "Tarker's Hollow Shifter Romance"... I suggest you read the 'Curse of the Alpha' serial first before starting on 'Fate of the Alpha', as 'Fate' starts where 'Curse' finishes, also you have the same characters following the same timeline.

We follow Alpha Ainsley & her mate Eric's story, also we follow Grace & Julian's story... Evil is lurking in Tarker's Hollow & it's up to Ainsley, Eric, Grace & Julian to stop it. We see Ainsley spend most of the time away from Eric, Eric losing his wolf & trying to keep the pack from finding out. Being sent away to help a pack who just went through a tragedy....

This serial is packed full of acton, keeping you riveted to your seat until the very end. There are so many twists & turns through out the book, keeping you guessing until the catastrophic ending. I look forward to reading more from Tasha in the future.

And it gets better and even better. After Curse of the alpha, I was looking forward to know what happened next to Ainsley, Erik and all the characters, but damn if I was expecting it to be this good. We got to meet new names in this one. Some of the old ones let us down and some consolidated my faith in them. Erik, oh Erik, I am so in love with you..... After all that's happened, you still remained as decent and loyal as ever.,Ainsley is even stronger in character than ever. Grace is the typical BFF. Cressida still fun loving and spontaneous. Tasha Black has introduced us to Javier who will do anything for his alpha. I'm sure we'll be seeing more of him soon. I did mentally bitch-slap a couple of characters. Well I needed to take my frustration out on someone? And a note to the author, how dare you? You nearly broke my heart at certain times and I'm not ashamed to say I actually sobbed my heart out. Julian, well call me daft or dense, but I am still reserving judgement about him. Such a complex character. You feel like kissing him one minute and knocking his teeth out the next. What a brilliant book. I honestly could not put it down. But now I am totally in denial. Please hurry up and give us the next one Tasha Black. Allow me to add that I was gifted this book in return for an honest review.

all the fates collected.
well written, action packed, fast pacing, heart wrenching, diabolical, addictive,... are a just a few terms that come to mind when reading this serial.
the fates pick up where cursed stopped.
ainsley and erik enjoying time together, getting to know each other, ainsley starting to feel more comfortable as alpha. but fairy tales don't last long. when trying to safe ainsly erik has lost his wolf to some very dark magic and now they're trying their best to keep this hidden.
it gets harder when ophelia arrives in town, a superior alpha sent by the federation. she's there to see if ainsley is up to the task. setting her eyes on anything that walks her reputation for freaky stuff precedes her.
grace and julian keep battling between themselves. drawn to each other they both fight it, at first at least. grace is convinced she hates his guts and julian only wants to go further when he's 100% sure it isn't her magic high that drives her to him.
so much is happening when a dark order has infiltrated their town and wants to unleash the baddest of the baddest. it takes a lot of effort and a lot of sacrificing to try and stop things from happening.
will they succeed? will they fail?
a must read if you enjoyed the curse of the alpha serial, this one follows right after.

I received a copy of this book from the author in return for an honest review.

This series starts off where curse of the alpha finishes. Ainsley is coming to terms with her new wolfy side, being the alpha of her pack, adapting and learning about her magic and being mate to Erik. On a routine run through the woods her and Erik discover a large lone wolf print and terrible events start unrolling from there. All the while Ainsley is trying to learn about her magic from Julian. And in a tragic turn of events Erik looses his wolf and he an Ainsley are separated.

This is a great continuation of the Tarkers Hollow series. The twists and turns of this series are addictive and all consuming. There will be tears and joy and anger all involved with this series. Love will be found and lost and friends will become enemies and enemies will turn out to be friends. Lives will be lost both good and bad.

Grace and Julian are a large part of this story, as large a part as Cressida was in the previous series. Erik has his own side story to lead in this series and is torn away from Ainsley. We also find ourselves introduced to the Federation, the leaders of the werewolf packs, the alphas alphas essentially.

This is a definite must read series, do not pass it by.

Fate of the Alpha is the second, and my favorite, series about the Tarker's Hollow shifters. Tasha does a great job expanding more on their world, and helping you to understand what's going on and why things happened in the first series, Curse of the Alpha. If you haven't read Curse of the Alpha yet, you have to read it first. It's also fantastic and the box set is a great deal.

Fate of the Alpha is my favorite for a couple of reasons. First, the characters are much less frustrating, even though they're still learning and growing in their knowledge and abilities. You really contiune to care about and like them more in this series. Second, I really liked the action and plot of this one. A lot. It pulled me in and kept me interested all the way to the end. Third, the ending was really well done. As awesome as a HEA is, I enjoy a book that doesn't end with everything roses and rainbows. There's a little bit of rushing to the end, and I wish some things were better explained, but I appreciated how well it was written.

I really hope this isn't the end of Tarker's Hollow. I feel there's a lot more to their story!

I received copies of the individual books in this set in exchange for an honest review.

Wow what a wonderful series!!! I absolutely love the characters in this book. Ainsley has really grown into a great alpha for the Tarker's Hollow pack and she is finally getting a hold on her magic! Eric's plite is an emotional rollercoaster and will keep you on the edge of your seat. Grace, Julian, Ophelia, Cressida are all strong written characters who really help the story move well. The addition of the Copper Creek pack to this storyline really helps bring some great twists and turns. This story has a lot of darkness, creativity, depth and joy all rolled into it. Once I started reading I absolutely could not put it down! This story is powerful, sexy and will keep you enthralled until the end.....then leaving you craving more from these wonderful characters. Definitely recommend this trilogy and believe you should have it on your must read list!!
