A série conta atualmente com 40 volumes publicados e eu adoro ler esses romances sobrenaturais “explosivos” e rápidos para relaxar e me divertir sem pensar muito! Tem alguns livros que eu gosto mais do que outros, mas em geral gosto muito da série por ela ser simples, com um universo bem definido, ser rápida de ler e não ter um grande aprofundamento.
Devon Carsten, o alfa da matilha de Nehalem, não poderia imaginar que ter seu irmão caçula sequestrado e em seguida conhecer seu companheiro predestinado mudaria tão drasticamente o curso de sua vida.
Nesse mundo criado pela autora, a existência dos shifters não é algo que todos os seres humanos estejam cientes. A maioria tenta viver em paz e sem chamar a atenção, mas a crueldade de alguns fez com que um grupo de humanos criasse o Conselho de Caçadores, que caça, estuda e mata indiscriminadamente qualquer shifter encontrado.
A série vai nos apresentando novos companheiros shifters e humanos, que precisam de ajuda ou de um lar, e conforme a matilha de Devon cresce, os momentos de felicidade e os perigos também aumentam. Pouco a pouco eles conseguem mudar o Conselho e fazer o grupo se concentrar em incentivar humanos e shifters a viver em harmonia e em caçar somente shifters criminosos. Porém, com isso, crimes e crueldades começam a ser descobertos, como por exemplo: shifters sendo aprisionados por anos, experimentos científicos para transformar humanos em shifters e até mesmo a gravidez masculina!
Cada livro traz a história de um casal (homem x homem), podendo ser formado por um humano e um shifter ou dois shifters. Além disso, apesar da maioria dos shifters serem lobos, existem alguns outros tipos como pumas, ursos e tigres.
Amo isso de amor à primeira vista, do shifter só ter um companheiro para a vida toda, do modo como o romance entre o casal acontece bem rápido e de, independente dos desafios, eu sempre poder contar com o “felizes para sempre” no final!
Meu Deus, as vezes eu fico rindo e pensando “Será que ninguém percebeu que as duas cidades, Nehalem e Silver Creek, praticamente só têm homens bonitos e gays!?”.

This book is part of a series and should be read in order.
Overall this was a decent read. But there were some issues for me.
I just didn’t really buy into Maurice and his reasoning for avoiding relationships. He is only twenty years old and seemed too jaded. Also Asa avoiding admitting that they were mates from the start was a little strange to me. Maurice knew all about shifters and mates so I think Asa should have been more up front.
But besides those issues I did enjoy the bantering back and forth the two had with each other. I find many of them funny and entertaining.
Also the sex scenes were pretty damn hot if I do say so.
As always it nice to see favorite characters from other books in the series pop in and out to add their two cents. I really did enjoy the ending and how things all worked out.
So besides some storyline issues that bugged me I did like the book and look forward to more in the series.

Overall I liked this.
However the closer look into Asa and Dylan's lives with grandfather doesn't quite match up with the previous book to me. Perhaps I'm reading more into it..
I really didn't get the whole hide and or deny mate thing Asa had going on. And Maurice's issues with dating and boyfriend felt like a poor excuse for his holdups.
ANNND last of all... Asa is an alpha? Took over now that grandfather is gone? I can understand having trouble with Devon but for all this to be suppressed until now is pushing it for me.

Being a slut was a bad thing. For the record I like the word slut. It implies that you know stuff. Dirty stuff and you absolutely like it.
So yeah calling someone a slut because they like to sleep with multiple men but you don't is a big no no for me. Get off you goddamn moral high ground en dig around in the dirt. Wanna bet you find some stuff about yourself other people will judge you for.
Tss. But this was the kick in my butt to stop reading this writers books. I just don't get the warm fuzzies reading this. Not like when I read Macy Jacks books. And she writes similar stories.

Enjoyable read. Glad Asa and Maurice were able to work out their issues. And I'm glad Asa and Devon were able to work out their "Alpha" issues as well.
