Helen Scott has officially hooked me, Her Shadowed Wolves is the third book in the House of Wolves and Magic series and I loved it, I couldn't get enough. A main female character who is strong but finding her vulnerability with her mates, mates that support, protect, and value their mate with a bunch of growly possessiveness while not stopping her from being her own person. A mysterious destiny that is steeped in magic and shrouded but slowly unfolding to become something far bigger than any of them can be expected. Put everything together and you get a story that is addictive as it is compelling.
Nina and her mates have been through a lot and things aren't getting any easier, they have to make it to the Oracle to find out what she told Jax and to figure out why Nina has so many mates. It's gonna be hard to do consider Jax's obsession with Nina has only gotten worse and he has only gotten crazier and more determined than ever, sending his wolves to get her no matter the costs. Finally, there are the mysterious shadowed wolves that live on the same mountain as the Oracle and they don't tolerate outsiders which means another obstacle for them to overcome.
However, things aren't all bad the bond between Nina and her mates is growing. The love between Nina and each of the guys is touching and steamy (and I mean scenes that are fire, yas), not to mention that each of the guys are forming bonds, they-re more like brothers now, and they are truly becoming family that is willing to care for and protect each other physically as well as emotionally. Nina is strong but the emotional stress is really getting to her causing anxiety and not just for her Roman is the protective type and not just of Nina but of his brothers as well and these constant attacks are grating on him because he cares and wants to keep everyone safe. As for Micah and Blake, both are doing their part to protect and care for their little group, with Micah trying to bring a bit of laughter and Blake's concern for Nina's emotions. I love how they work together and how well the bond is coming.
Speaking of bond and mates, there's another one, his name is Tate and I liked him right away. Things went a lot smoother for him and Nina in the bond department than it did with Blake but with even more action. He fits in smoothly with the group, his personality works well with the other guys and he's a great guy who connects with Nina right away. I'm excited to get to know him better and to see his bonds with the group grow more.
This series storyline crazy, I am totally addicted and am ready for more. The mates and bond are fantastic, I love seeing those relationships and those steamy scenes are nice. Then there is Jax and his crazy. How this man is still an alpha may have been answered in this book, and I can't believe it. Jax is beyond crazy, he is on a whole new level. I wanna know what did that Oracle told him? Why is he so obsessed with Nina? How does he have all this power? He almost has this split personality thing going on and I'm starting to wonder if he's apart of this greater thing that's going on with Nina. Speaking of greater things, Nina keeps having these weird visions, with these beings that seem almost god-like, powerful, ancient, and full of magic. I still don't know who they are or what is planned for Nina but I am dying to find out more.
Her Shadowed Wolves was fantastic, full of magic, steam, wonder, wolves, mysteries, and more. There is ancient magic a play, what is Nina's destiny? What else do Nina and the guys have to face before they finally settle down and enjoy their lives? Not to mention I have a feeling that things with the shadowed wolves are far from done. Not to mention that Jax is a problem that is steadily getting out of hand and needs to be stopped. I have so many questions. I will be waiting with bated breath for the next book, Her Hidden Pack.
