Book: Kade (A Wolf's Hunger #2) Author: A.K. Michaels Publication Date: 3/20/2017 Reviewed by: Tammy Payne- Book Nook Nuts My Rating: 5 Stars
REVIEW What can I say? I love everything this author produces. And this book reminds me why. This is one strong story. Kade is an Alpha after losing his parents to rogues. He is strong and fierce and right now losing his mind. Something is happening to him and he has no idea what until....
Finally he is set straight about what's going on and now he is on a mission to save not only his but also Kirsty's life. You will find out all about Kirsty when you read the book. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Kade is hungry, a hunger that he can't sate, a hunger that has other causes and not for lack of food. Kristy is on the run from rogue shifter after they've killed her parents for seemingly no reason.
I loved this story, it was action packed from the start. Kristy has such a strong character profile, with her strength is tested throughout the book. Kade is the typical protector male, yet you can't fault him. I enjoyed this book so much so I would have given it 5 stars except for some of the slang used made me feel like I was trying to read another language. I got the general gist of what was meant but at times I would read something, stop and go 'huh?'. Regardless of this I couldn't stop reading, I needed to know what happened and I am eager to read the other stories in the series.
This was first published on my blog " Lecture toute une Aventure" I received an eARC and voluntary choose to review this story
This was really interesting, it's a stand alone so i didn't need to read the first book in the series and the universe is easy to get a grasp of. The writing style is engaging so this is a easy and quick read.
It's not fully original as it's the soul mate theme we come across often but i really loved how it was done. For example in this universe people know shifters exist...they don't mix a lot but it's not top secret so Kirsti isn't totally lost when she met with Kade and his group. Also i particularly loved Leia.....the dog because yes our heroin as a dog with her...dog among the wolf ends in a very cute situation, hard to resist smiling at those moments. The author manages to catch our interest and this story is read in one sitting without trouble at all.
The way Kade react is sweet, Kristi adjust too well and too quickly in my opinion but then again with the story it didn't bother me too much..i still think as some parts were a bit rushed in the sense that if it took longer, the story wouldn't feel too long at all but nothing major.
There are a lot of violence, action and some humour ( or sweet touches to be more precise), i loved some secondary characters like Skie or Jimmy .
Kade is an alpha of Crescent Loch Pack and unable to comprehend what his unusual huger may mean for his future...but he was about to fin out that denying it would lead to a far worse fate.
Kirsty is a mere human. Not what we expect but certainly has the fiesty attitude of all our leading ladies. Her only companion and fierce protector is Leia...but not for long!
Excerpt: I give you my solemn oath, Kirsty Carmichael, as Alpha of the Crescent Loch Pack, that you and Leia will always be safe with me and my people.
A magical story (as with all AK Michaels stories!) of pack life, acceptance and love, I adored seeing a human thrown into the mix. Seeing how accepting the pack are of her and knowing the goddess has fixed this headstrong pair for many years ahead of them.
Excerpt: Kirsty felt, possibly for the first time in her life, that she belonged and she would fight for every last person here until she drew her last breath.
I can't get enough of these stories and they are short stories you can finish in one sitting. For wolf/paranormal lovers, this series is for you!
Final excerpt: She was his. His mate. The one and only woman made for him and he would never let her go.
Good story, I wish that them being Scottish didn't feel so forced
Something about this book just continuously felt off to me. I liked both Kade and Kirsty and their pack well enough. Maybe it was the fact that the book was written in American Standard English and yet was set in Scotland and written by an author who lives in Scotland. It was jarring to have characters speak in dialect, but then think in standard English, and have most phrases written with American usage and spelling, rather than Scottish.
I'm not saying that I think that the whole book should have been written in dialect, but I felt that the dichotomy between the two didn't mesh well, and parts of the book, especially the beginning, felt like we were being hit with every Scottishism that could be crammed into the story. But then it almost completely fell into American Standard once that was done, with nary a 'u' in sight and only the most stock phrases used by the characters. Looking back, it was almost like expecting Dick Van Dyke's Bert (from Mary Poppins) to believably be Cockney.
Basically, I actually liked the story and the characters, but I felt like the setting was a bit forced onto the story, rather than being the stage for the action to take place in.
Kade is a wolf alpha in Scotland. He has been feeling a strange ond overwhelming hunger that nothing can satisfy for long. Then one of his Beta tells him about the legend of the Wolf's hunger where an alpha will feel hunger when his destined mate is nearby and needs him. Kade doesn't believe it at first but after asking his wolf about his mate, his hunger fades and he is taken on a run. Kristy and her german shepherd are on the run. Her parents were killed by rogue werewolves and they are now chasing her, She sends her dog ahead in hopes of saving her and gets overtaken by the rogue wolves. She kills two but is trapped by the dead body of one of the rogues she killed. Three other wolves move in and kill the rest of the rogues. The leader Kade is very protective of her and brings her home to protect her. She accepts even though the wolves make her nervous. Kade is thrilled to find such a strong mate. Now he just has to court Kristy and protect her and his pack from the rogue wolves. This is a good book with lots of action and feelings. I did find some of the Scottish dialect in the beginning hard to understand and get through but it soon got a lot better.
Kade MacKenzie is a great Alpha but he is rubbish at listening to his inner self! As the Hunger increases he becomes more stubborn and crotchety! Even sage advice from his trusted Beta falls on deaf ears. Finally his wolf just about takes control of the man to ensure that he finally listens and searches for the thing that will soothe the hunger, his mate!
Kirsty is fleeing the rogues that have invaded her land and killed her parents. She manages to make to put some distance between them and ends up on Kade's pack land. He provides sanctuary to her but will she feel to safe when she realises that she is amongst shifters, the very thing she has been fleeing?
Another great read in this new series. You will have a great grounding in Scots slang by the end of this book and a need to eat Tattie Scones! A really great collection of Scots characters and little Jimmy will steal your heart! That boy is just going to be trouble when he's bigger!
Ava brings us another wonderful addition to A Wolf’s Hunger Series and just like the other one; she pulls you into the world of the wolf. Can you imagine being a human and having a wolf tell you that you are their mate? It normally would send a shock into a person’s system, but not our heroine, she seems to ride into the occasion like it she was born a wolf. This book brings all of your emotions into play: Laughter, Crying, Screaming, and maybe even some lust after some of her hot shifters. This book proves to you that even a little human can fight for a family she barely knows. The question you must answer is will she win the fight or go down fighting. Please read this journey with me and discover your own answers.

I voluntarily reviewed this advanced reader copy and I have not been compensated in any way.
Shifter Kade MacKenzie is out of control with the Hunger that is driving him wild with a need to kill and eat prey. His best friend and Beta Lennox warns him what is causing it but he finds the whole idea ridiculous - that is until his wolf takes control and takes him on a quest to find his soul-mate.
I LOVED this story and the way that it developed. Kade was the tough guy that you always envision an Alpha to be, but had also soft gentle edges that made him quite irresistible. As for his mate when he find her, she was feisty and had a take no prisoners attitude that fit perfectly into the role of an Alpha's mate. The story was well written and everything was well described. It was full of complicated thoughts, hopes and fears and I could feel all the emotions that the characters were going through.
Ms Michael's has done it again. She has another great books & series. This story of Kade & Kirsty is a true love story between a full human and a shifter. Makes a person think that if these things were true, could a love like this exist. I would like to think that we would be open to this. I sincerely hope that Ms Michaels' books are given the respect & recognition that she & they deserve. I believe that who give her a try well be very surprised by their depth & quality.
Made thinks he's going crazy...he won't listen to his beta...he's stubborn and won't believe what they are telling him. Kristy and her best friend a German shepherd are running for their lives from rouge wolf's...Kade is out running trying to stop this hunger when he hears screaming. Something tells him who ever is in trouble is his...he will stop at nothing and will kill anyone or anything that gets in his way of helping his "mate"?! Will Kade make it in time...will she still be alive? Great characters and great storyline. A must read!
A Scottish Alpha, and a story with Scottish language - Awesome!
Kade's a powerful Alpha searching for his soul-mate. The Goddess matches him with a lass he wasn't expecting, but his love and commitment are strong.
Kirsty is a strong female who love's her dog, Leia. She's on the run from the rogue wolves who killed her parents. Her hatred of wolves grew stronger each minute, then she met Kade.
Can a human and shifter be soul-mates? This is an amazing journey and a must read!
I loved this book! I loved the premise of the story and I loved the fierceness of the heroine. Kirsty was great and fitting match for the Alpha that Kade is. I will definitely be looking into other books by this author and definitely continuing to read other stories in this A Wolf's Hunger series. Loved it!
I loved Kade more than the first in this series! I read it in about 2 hours. I just could not put it down! The heroes weren't looking to mate, Kase the Alpha and Kristy his human mate. Or is she? You'll need to read it to find out. Oh and Leia, a majestic German Shepherd. I love that breed!
This series is great and really easy to read. As expected, Kade has the hunger and must find his mate quickly. Kirsty is human and is being attacked by rogues. Kade comes to her rescue and his soul mate is found. They must face more rogues and get rid of the enemy before they can mate and continue with their lives.
I love Ava's story telling way and this is a very well written story. I read it straight though in one setting, I just couldn't wait to see what was happing next. Made has his hands full who his strong willed mate Kristy. She just won't give in and stay "protected" because she'd rather be fighting to protect and save the women and children.
Kade was surprised when he found out who his mate was
Made didn't know what was wrong with him. He just couldn't stop been hungry. Then his beta told him what was wrong with him. It was that his mate was close and in danger. Kristy was human and running from rogues when can found her. Oh you need to read what they went through. This was a Great book
Ms Michaels has her own unique voice when it comes to writing paranormal romance. Kades story is another good addition to this series. I enjoyed that Kirsty was a strong woman in her own sense, The Rogue's underestimated her because she was Human. The story flows well, and the ending gave a hea that rounded off the story well.
I really liked this ! Oh wow I loved this book the ending was outstanding !! Kristy and Kade's story will keep you turning the pages !! Man now Kristy is one heck of a strong woman and will not allow fear to overtake her . She does what needs to be done and just keeps going !! I love the way Lelia brought her mate to her !!
I have to say this author just keeps getting it so right its mouth watering good or in this case makes you need more of her stories.
In this story it starts out on the same line as the other Wolf's Hunger books, but then you have a brave young lady fighting off rouge wolves, saving children and fighting for a clan she is not yet a part of. This author has you in the gripe of the store from the start to finish.
She has a rhythm that keeps you coming back for more ... biting your nails when its tough then throwing in a twist when you least expect it. You will not regret purchasing this book or the others in the set!
I really enjoyed this book. It was a good plot and great characters. It has a shifter and human romance that includes drama, suspense and a little steamy scenes. It was a quick read and worth the time to read it.
I love a story with a strong woman who stands up for herself and those that are important to her. A strong alpha male is always necessary to challenge his female. I will definitely read more by Monica.
A K Michaels writes great paranormal stories. I am working my way through her list of books. I always enjoy her 📚. If your looking for a good paranormal story,then you can't go wrong with an AM Michaels story
Found a good new author and several series to investigate.
Really liked this book. Good characters that engage you, their motivations clear. Finely spaced action, and you root for the hero's and heroine. the sex is not and romantic. Going to get another of her books.
