The Dark Side

The Wild Side #2

by M.J. Scott

The Dark Side Monsters used to be just her day job. Now they're her life. Reluctant werewolf Ashley Keenan thought she'd faced her demons when she brought down McCallister Tate, the vampire who killed her family. She's building a future with her werewolf fiance, FBI Agent Daniel Gibson, but not everything is smooth sailing. For one thing, she still owes a debt to the dangerous vampire who controls Seattle. And, for another, she knows that Tate didn't work alone ... and his allies might not be done with her. Then a vicious attack leaves her best friend infected with an aggressive new strain of vampirism and Ash and Dan are sucked into the desperate fight to save her and to stop a plague of vampires overrunning humanity. A plague manufactured by the man who was helping Tate. When Dr. Smith and his vampire allies decide that Ashley's family secrets might hold the key to making their new vampires unstoppable-and that the only way to get to those secrets is through Ash herself-the fight turns deadly. To save herself, her friend, and maybe even the world, Ash has to embrace her werewolf abilities, call on some dangerous allies, and take a walk on the dark side...

[Penny · Rating 3 out of 5]

What do you do when the book is OK but you Can't stand the main protagonist? Ashley is Stubborn, thinks she knows best, self righteous and annoying.

[Yvonne Marron de Martin · Rating 4 out of 5]

The narrative was interesting and exciting but some of the characters were not completely credible. I had the biggest problems with Ashley. She behaves like a spoiled child. She´s stubborn to the extent that she sometimes seems to be imbecil. Everything must be done her way, she hardly cares about listening to the opinions of other people who seems to have better insight in the problems at hand. and she doesn´t seems to learn anything from her mistakes. I pity the people who are in a relationship with such a character.

Another Great Read from MJ

I’m really enjoying exploring what this author has written. This one is as good or better than Book 1; the characters are more developed and the storyline is more engaging.
Highly recommended.

[Cait · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great book. A bit similar as book one in plot points, but overall a great read. I read it in a day. A very good read.

Really good read

Just keeps getting better

Scott doesn’t disappoint with book 2 of The Wild Side series. As Ash adjusts to her new reality, nothing in her life is easy. Not her job, her friends, her family, Dan - or the darkness that haunts her. And the twists keep coming…even in the final sentence.

[Mary · Rating 3 out of 5]

I liked the book, but am annoyed that the story just ended and there was no 3rd book to clear up the loose ends.

[Polly]

I enjoyed it! The story starts right where book one ends. Very exciting. Different storyline.
I will read book three when it's released.
