Wolfsbane: Maria's Story
The mate bond is pure and sacred. It should be revered and cherished. Anyone who tarnished the bond would effectively be spitting in the face of the Moon Goddess herself! Maria had heard this speech a thousand times growing up. As her eighteenth birthday approaches, Maria struggles to find the appeal of being mated to someone you never looked at twice before but were suddenly enamored by them. An unexpected meeting with a young witch struggling with his own love life causes Maria to reconsider everything she had been taught about mates. What if you could find your mate without the guidance of the bond? What starts as a friendship evolves into a steamy love affair that sets in motion a chain of events that would impact generations to come.

Great Prequel
As the name suggests, this is the story of Maria, Evelyn's mother and therefore a prequel to Wolfsbane: Evelyn and Aidan.
When I read Evelyn's story in the first book, Maria always disgusted me because of her inability as a mother to protect her child from the abuse and ill-treatment meted out by her pack. Although Maria manages to redeem herself in the second book by laying down her life, it was still difficult to understand what happened in her past and how Evelyn came to be. Those answers can be found in this book.
After reading this story, I finally began to understand why Maria turns out the way she is. Portrayed as a strong, wilful albeit selfish character, on a certain level I began to admire her tenacity to get what she wanted despite all odds. In a way, she managed to throw back the 'purity' mindset of her pack right back in their faces. Too bad her strength of character doesn't hold up as Evelyn grows and this I felt was the only disjointed part in the series which is otherwise perfect.
Still, a great read and I enjoy the author's writing style. Looking forward to more books from this author.
