A note from Audrey: Some series can be read out of order - this isn’t one of them. Start with Alpha and welcome to Ghost Mountain!
Shelley Martins thinks she needs sensible and practical and steady—but that isn’t what the big truck from HomeWild is about to deliver.
Ghost Mountain is getting their school, the first building of their new den. The construction teams are ready, the big strong men are planning to be as useless as possible, and Shelley has the kitchen piled high with baked goods to fuel their work.
Except what comes off that big truck isn't just a building. And Shelley, who walked into hell six years ago to save her pack, isn't just a baker.

An emotional rollercoaster of a story.
Five stories that have time spent with the Ghost Mountain Pack whizzing by. I definitely recommend this story and all the previous ones, as the author is correct in stating that these are not stand alone stories.
I confess that I'm addicted to these characters and want to watch their pack grow and be happy, Overall a positive story, negative consequences and thoughts still arising due to the trauma of Samuel's actions. That man was waste.
Shelley's story. Did book 4 say this would be Shelly's story? I don't remember but I do know that Shelley, like Lissa, is one of the characters that hold the pack together. Her inner strength is amazing. What she did to try to salvage the destruction that Samuel was creating, that was more than most of us would be able to think of doing much less actually doing it. And Shelley sees herself as just a homebody, not realizing her roles in the pack. Fortunately the pack does. I'm an even bigger Shelley fan girl by the end. And stopping here because it's much better when Shelley's secrets explode on the page than being told about them.
We witness the arrival and installation of the greenhouse and school. We find more out about Myrna and her boys, some of the Dunns, Hayden's thinking outside the box...
Adding to my comments from my review of book 4 Raven. Every story rests upon people and actions in previous books. The core characters of each story so far, Alpha = Hayden, Heart = Lissa, Rebel = Kennedy and Raven = Fallon and Ben. And now Breath = Shelley. Viewpoints and thoughts of other characters are spread through every book.
The next book is one of the ones I've been waiting for - Bear. Ronan arrives. I hope that there's many more books to come after it, please and thank you Audrey Faye.
Audrey Faye continues to be one of my favorite auto-buy authors. I love that her stories are character driven and have come to care about all of her characters. As always thanks for the great read.

3.5/5.0
Still loving the world and the “people” who inhabit it. It is still filled with warmth and all things cozy and wonderful. I do think at this point the overall series needs a little excitement or conflict thrown in just for interests sake, however. I found myself getting a bit bored with the same-ol’, same-ol’ as the main event in each story. It’s still beautiful to see each character grow and overcome, it would just be nice to experience a little something different thrown in.

This is a slow-moving, slice of life series that is fully focused on healing from trauma and giving characters the space to do so. In this installment, we get to see the pack building the school and greenhouse, Shelley enjoying a kitchen with heated floors, and Cleve spending more time with the pack and ultimately making muffins. Ghost Mountain Pack is more about the collective so while this installment is focused on Shelley, we still get a lot of other pack members’ reactions to the various developments.
This is respectful in the ways it handles the abuse the pack faced at Samuel’s hands. There aren’t any flashbacks and while we learn about what happened to certain members who left or died or tried to protect others, it’s often left vague or kept brief. I fully understand the reasons behind this but at the same time, a few more facts would have anchored the guilt and pain better. I’m still not clear about Shelley’s decision to marry Samuel or why she thought she could love him into being better or when she gave up on him coming around. When Shelley finally paints the big mural, it points to a big emotional breakthrough for her. But I needed at least some details about what she experienced in order for it to have the same impact as the other books in this series. This leaned a little too hard on metaphors and vague references.
Don’t get me wrong: this was still enjoyable and there were a lot of lovely, moving moments. It just wasn’t quite as good as the first four books. The amount of characters we’re now dealing with can be overwhelming, especially because we keep meeting new ones. I take notes while I read and I still lose track of who’s who. This leads me to my other reservation.
One of the things I’ve most enjoyed about this series when it started was how inclusive it was. However, we’ve gotten very little page time with the sapphic couple and while Kel is gay or bisexual, there’s no hint of his sexuality when we’re in his POV. It also continues to be unclear who the characters of color are. If not for my notes, I would conclude this is a white pack. These characters could therefore be read as tokenism and I really hope that's not the case. Robbie has Down syndrome and the pack is learning ASL, partly for the littlest ones and partly for him, so at least there’s that.
Characters: Shelley is a submissive wolf, muralist, cook, and gardener, possibly in her 40s. She’s a distant cousin of the Dunns and was mated to abusive alpha Samuel.
Fallon is a raven shifter and trader, likely in her late 20s. She’s mated to Ben, a wolf shifter and submissive. Ben is part of the Dunn family who started the Ghost Mountain Pack. Brandy is his sister and their sister Rennie and father Cleve are among the shadow wolves in the forest. Bailey is an alpha wolf shifter; her father was Aaron, the alpha Samuel killed, and she’s Ben and Brandy’s cousin. Myrna’s father was the original alpha and founder of the pack. Hoot’s brother is Grady, a shadow wolf. Kelsey is Rennie’s daughter and Ben’s niece; she has “milk chocolate” skin. Stinky (aka Daniel) is Ruby and Cody (deceased)’s son.
Kennedy is a 14 year old baby alpha. Hayden is a 32 year old alpha wolf of the Ghost Mountain Pack. He’s assisted by Rio (sentinel, unspecified POC [“dusky skin”]) and Kel (submissive badass, former military, gay or bisexual). Lissa is a submissive wolf, bookkeeper, and mother of 5 year old Robbie, who is a baby alpha and has Down syndrome. Reilly is an 11 year old half-grizzly bear, half-wolf. Miriam and Layla are mates and submissives. Ghost (15, beta) has “milk chocolate” skin. Adrianna is the alpha of alphas, Whistler Pack alpha, and has a PhD in organizational psychology; she’s Hayden and Jules’s mother.
Reese is a bobcat shifter and the alpha of Lonely Peak Pack. Tressie is a raven shifter and the Desolation Inlet Pack alpha. Martha is the raven beta and Emma Jean is the raven trader. This is set in British Columbia.
Content notes: pregnant secondary characters, past death of spouse (MC and secondary characters), past intimate partner violence (unspecified), past abuse by former alpha for the whole pack (physical, emotional, verbal, financial), past death of pack members (including child), anxiety (secondary character), casual ableism (around mental illness), past homelessness (secondary character), past military (secondary character), alcohol reference, ableist language

I just adore this series and the way it dwells unrepentantly on the slow unpacking of big emotions.

Why Shelley?
This book is a meandering mess with no plot and inexplicable metaphors. I got through it in the merits of the previous books in the series.
I get that Samuel was bad. It's frustrating as a reader to have narrators who won't explain what they know. If Samuel and Eamon just came in and killed 3 wolves... Okay, that was bad. The trauma doesn't line up with that. I'm starting to think wolves are major drama queens.I
On top of the extended metaphors that don't, in my opinion, hold up the narrative suffers from narrators interacting with their inner wolves like they're separate. I often have a hard time understanding what the author means by these interactions. Is the person performing the action "their wolf" does? Or Is it just something they're thinking about? It's twice as bad for Rio, who apparently has a wolf and a sentinel.
I don't dislike Shelley, but I don't find her a particularly interesting character like Kennedy or Fallon. Hayden and Lissa are pretty stereotypical, but at least they have a love story. Shelley does not have enough growth of change in her character to hang a book on. There is growth and healing for the pack here, and Shelley has something to do with it, but it isn't surprising or dramatic.
Overall, this book was a bit boring and depressing, despite the presence of old friends from other books.

There is so much excitement at the start of this one. The pack is getting their first buildings, building their new den. I loved how excited everyone was, how they ran drills to carry all the stuff in, how they were determined to put together the buildings themselves, pouring everything they have wished and hoped for in the new structures. I thought it was great that they managed to get cameras showing everyone else what was going on, the rest of the shifters seeing how teens and women were doing the "hard" work, while the strong men were there to support them. The later so very important due to what had been done to the pack in the past.
Once the building was up the whole pack was in awe as after they saw it decorated. So many small touches to show how important every single one of them was. But the best was Shelley's mural. It took a bit to percolate, but man, what she painted was the perfect thing to honor the pack's past.
Between the new building and the mural, more of the ghost packmates have been coming in, some for a while, some doing really good to just get near. Overall there is great progress made so that hopefully all of the packmates can be in the den and home for good.

That was a chore to get through and I must admit I skimmed a lot.
I’m just not interested in building things 😭
All they do is build 😭
Do something else 😭

Healing can be done ins such small and beautiful ways!
October 18, 2019
I really enjoyed this installment of the Ghost Mountain Wolf Shifters. In this we learn Shelley's story and more of Myrna's history. Although, this book focuses on Shelley it still contains points of view and builds on the stories of others in the pack. These books need to be read in order and this book is an emotional roller coaster that would not make as much of an impact if read out of order.
November 13, 2019
The centre of this book is Shelley as she tries to find ways to heal herself and the rest of the pack. The story is very emotional and probably for me, a bit over sentimental. This doesn’t stop me from enjoying the story, but after five books I wish the author would concentrate more on the pack accomplishments rather than the damage that was inflicted by Samuel.

Small things matter
This is a beautiful story of small things that make ordinary people extraordinary. There are a bunch of characters and points of view, but the plot flows well.
I will read the next!

Breath is the fifth book in the Ghost Mountain Wolf Shifter series by Audrey Faye.
It was difficult to quantify my feelings for this book. Trapped somewhere between the joy of real walls, and the grief and guilt many packmates are still mired in. It got a little aggravating how many feel guilty over the last six years in one way or another. As well the secrets that have come to life; those behind both Bailey and Rennie’s scars.
Ruby is a wolf hard to like. She was hit the hardest losing her mate and son. But I can’t really bring myself to respect or like her given the pain she has personally inflicted on all those around her. Family members who were already touched and devastated by that same loss, that she buried in more. Ruby is a lot of why I don’t like this book as much.
Shelley holds way too much guilt and grief over her part in ferrying her packmates through those painful six years. She genuinely tried to love an evil man, in the hope that she could maybe save him and her family. She put herself between him and those that needed the most protection. And that she can only focus on the times she failed, and not the many times she was the only saving grace is troubling. Because I want to be mad at her for not seeing her worth.
The writing got far more long winded and all feely, and it was entirely too frustrating to waddle through all of this rocky terrain.

This series pulls at me. There’s not a whole lot of plot. There are zero to few living antagonists. There’s dead ones and a whole lot of trauma. And there’s day to day life with trauma and a strong desire to heal and how that affects different people and how they in turn affect the others. And while Faye keeps the progress slow, overall it’s probably still too easy, and there’re too few (like maybe, no) times when what helps one rubs others raw and there’s no fighting over that sort of thing, which would occur in real life. But that’s okay, because this is fantasy, and that’s what fantasy is for. The love and the healing is the gift to the reader. This one did make me cry. I can’t remember if the others have or not. In any case, I enjoyed Shelly not having or wanting or needing a romantic connection with anyone in order to feel loved and accepted and wanted in the pack. I honestly think that’s a bit of fantasy, too, but fantasy is good. Fantasy brings out ideals into life. And ideally there would be a valued place for someone with no partner and no children in a community that isn’t on the edges.

I feel like all the reviews I write for books in this series are the same: this book is amazing and pulled at my heartstrings and I'm still not sick of reading about this pack.
Although we get a lot of different perspectives in every book, this particular one focused a little more on Shelly. We learned a little more about what her place in the pack has always been, and the things she did during those horrible six years to try to keep her packmates safe.
What's really beautiful about this series is how trauma is never glossed over. There are no easy fixes for the traumas that these people have been through, but we're along for the ride as they take tiny baby steps towards a brighter future. In the last book, we talked about how the pack didn't need to come out of the shadows as much as it needed to acknowledge that some of the shadows were there to stay. In this book, we also talk about how some members of the pack may also stay shadows themselves. Maybe this series will run long enough for everyone to come back to the den someday, but even if they can't, that's okay.

Breath - Shelly Martin's story
Shelly carries a lot of guilt. A distant Dunn cousin. She mated Samuel in hopes of tempering his cruelty and protecting her pack. Her failure haunts her. She finds solace in cooking and baking for her pack. She has made space for Grandpa Cleve in the kitchen. Guarding the bread for now, and maybe some day he will make his muffins again.
Her bank robbery with Lissa has given her a positive boot. She has Kenny are supporting each other, both having made hard choices in an effort to save their pack.
The school from HomeWild arrives. The Cats, Ravens, and Hawks all arrive to help unload, but it is pack alone who will put it together. Reilly documenting every step.
The pack is forming a strong bond with the Ravens as they help get ready for a chick in the pack.
Ronan sends his intern Raven shifter, Indrani, she is going to help tap the Geo thermal under pack pack land.
After much soul searching and a lot of tears, Shelly finally paints the mural in the school. It is powerful, and even some of the most broken wolves make there way to the school to see it.
great series, and emotional journey, love, family and forgiving of self. Rate PG-13

another hug for my heart
This has been the hardest book for me to get into in this series so far, and this series is slower/less immediate than most of my reading, so I can set it aside when I’m in the mood for something else and come back. But every book brings back the voices and insights of characters I’ve come to love, and teaches me to love some more. And by the end of every book, I’m so very ready for the next. Reading these books feels like healing for wounds I didn’t realise I had.
I’m reading these through kindle unlimited, but while I haven’t done the math yet, there’s already a line in my budget to cover buying all the books of this series. I want to know that I have these books when I need to recapture this feeling. And I might want to read them, or parts of them at least, to a few people.

We continue to see the pack grow with each book in the series. Each character shows growth and more stability. For some reason, this one hit me as more emotional than some of the previous books. There were sections that were hard to follow as the wolf and human sides seem to speak to each other and it was a bit confusing what the final result (or reason) was. It would be nice to see more of Hayden and Lissa, but that has been improving. The next book with a Ronan focus has lots of promise!

Fabulous series
A great series with characters you want to wrap up and bring home. buil ding book by book and developing the different personalities until they feel like friends - can't stop reading but will be really sorry to reach the end of the last book.
Moved on to these from the debris heart witch central and delighted that these are every bit as good. Thanks audrey.

genuine tears
This author, and this series, make me feel so much. I had a hard time doing anything other than reading until I finished this book because TV stories just didn’t hold a candle. There are scars on my heart that will be forever grateful for the journey this book took us through.

Recovery in a fantasy novel
Reading Audrey's books are therapy for me. It's really accessible for me as a scifi/fantasy reader. Every singlw Audrey Faye book I've read is jam packed with heart. Some parts are difficult to read because you care so much about the characters. I feel they are in good hands though.

I preferred Fallon to Shelley. Also, we are getting too much of the same thing.
Overcoming trauma is a great story. Doing it over and over and over again with different characters who are not really all that different gets boring.
I will definitely read Ronan's book after a short breather but I'm not sure about the rest.

Take a breath.
More pure feel good magic! I cannot say enough good things about this series, except saying one more time: Read this book, and if you haven't read the first four books, do that now.

While this book was centered on Shelley and her trauma and strength, it felt a bit scattered. I appreciated the set up of the school, which made the first half great, and the imagery of growth of a seed. However, the end lacked the impact that other books in the series have had.

Seeds breaking free
Growing, building, healing, and painting. Therapy from inside the pack. Spiritual insights. Wonderful series keeps getting better. Must buy and read, highly recommended.

I am loving this series so very much!
The cast of characters is getting bigger all the time, but I just love this tale of goodness, love and family healing intergenerational trauma.

Better and better
This story is a goldmine! It just keeps pulling me in deeper and deeper. It makes me want to be pack, be there to help any way I can.
That's what all the best stories do; insist you be part if them.

Another powerful story
There are so many stories going on that are slowly finding there way into the main storyline. This story was a bit more emotional then the others. So many broken souls out there too broken to think they can ever be welcomed back.

Another great addition
In Breath we get Shelley’s story. This one is heartbreaking but heartwarming at the same time. We take journeys into the past as the pack moves into its new future.
This series has quickly become one of my favorites.
