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 was ok. Even though logically there's got to be an age gape between them with Jaron hanging and going to college and Trevor being Coop's uncle, there is no attention brought to that aspect. For me this is a good thing as I am not a fan of big age differences.

I'm a little on the fence with Jaron and Trevor. Trevor is the one that took Jaron in (unknowingly) and Jaron runs from him more than once... it's just not mate behavior.. and it feels slightly disturbing to think the man responsible for putting you back in hell is your perfect match.

Now.. NHS.. since it can be a while between books.. I see this acronym and thinking, what? Thankfully they spell it out. Non Human Sanctuary. I bet I wasn't the only one to forget what it stood for. Not sure how to take the new big threat on the horizon seeing as they seem to know about the whole pack of shifters in and around Nehalem. I'd like to see Glenn get a mate and then perhaps getting this deep into the series I'd work towards closing it down. However, as with a few other looooong standing series that perhaps have gone longer than they should, I'd continue to read this as I wouldn't be able to help myself.

Another Alpha..I wonder how that's going to pan our. I really enjoyed this book. Jaron has experienced so much in his life. Turned unwillingly, he has to learn how to be a ahifter. Trevor, has been feeling guilty about his part in causing the pain Jaron experienced. Now they're separated from the bad guys, they have to learn how to forgive themselves and how to move on.
