Her Hidden Pack

House of Wolves and Magic #4

by Helen Scott

Time is running out. The darkness is coming. And I’m short one mate.

Life is getting ever more complicated as I continue to collect mates. Fate may have stopped us from finding the oracle before, but nothing is going to get in our way now.

I keep getting visions telling me that time is running out. The oracle is the only one who can give us the answers we need and this time we know where to look… sort of. There is no choice but to go deeper into Shadow Forest. We know the oracle is there somewhere, but every second we spend on Shadow Forest land means risking our lives.
If I’m lucky I’ll find my last mate and the oracle before the darkness I see in my visions swallows the world whole. The only problem is I’ve never been very lucky...

Dude! I love this series. The House of Wolves and Magic is the first series (first anything really) that I've read by Helen Scott and now I'm totally enamored with her writing. Her Hidden Pack is the fourth book in the series and things just keep getting, hotter, more dangerous, more intriguing, just more everything and I am here for it.

While I believe the story takes place over a shorter timeframe, the characters have changed so much over the series. After everything, they have been through it's no wonder that they have changed and bonded as quickly as they have. At the start of this Nina had crippling anxiety that affected her life to a good degree, she was always alone and barely surviving, not living, but surviving. Now with her mates by her side, Nina gets all the love and support she needs. Sure she still has anxiety (and I can't blame her) but she now has the support she needs to not let it overwhelm her, and while it does affect her life, it stops affecting it to the degree it did before. Nina also has more confidence in not only who she is as a person, in her body, and has more confidence about her wolf.

Nina isn't the only one who has seemed to change. Roman who likes control and really wasn't interesting in sharing a mate is now willing to give up control sometimes and recognizes Nina needs all of her mates. Micah is more responsible than he was before, he is starting to take a little control in certain situations. Blake really didn't seem to connect with people, he was kinda there where ever he was, now he belongs, he fits in with Nina and her other mates. Finally, there's Tate, I haven't known him for long but he seems like he has opened his eyes to the toxic shifter culture he was involved in. All of the guys are great, are good for Nina, and somehow have become a family, a little pack on their own. There isn't jealousy there is only care and respect for the other guys and for Nina.

This story fantastic. So Jax is still hunting Nina, Nina and her mates are trying to find a way out of the situation by finding the Oracle who Jax talked to not to mention that the dreams Nina has been having hints at another mate out there. Nina and the guys find some answers and even more questions. The bigger plot has been revealed, the reason all this is happening, what exactly is happening, and how Nina is a part of it all. I will say that Ms. Scott has revealed a jaw-dropping plot twist. I mean, yeah she left a tiny easter egg in the previous books but no way did I realize the story was leading to this. Without giving too much away, I love this plot twist, it's one of my favorite subjects, especially in books and I'm really curious where else this story is gonna go.

After reading this book it has become very apparent how toxic the shifter culture is towards, women, towards those not in power. How they have gotten stuck in their ways and aren't willing to open their hearts or minds to new possibilities. These qualities are very self-destructive and I honestly don't see the shifter race continuing on like this. It's really shocking to realize that it wasn't just a few packs. I knew Nina came from a horrible pack and that Roman's and Micah's pack was close-minded but I didn't realize that the negative qualities seem to reach all the packs. It's a little shocking, to say the least, and the fact that Jax can run around committing all these crimes without intervention is not reasonable, the whole shifter community needs to put a stop to this.

As expected with this series, Her Hidden Pack was a fantastic read that sucked me in and ended way too soon for my taste. So much has happened but things aren't over with yet. Jax still wants Nina, his true identity is revealed and he is even more dangerous than ever with a pack who has stopped heeding his orders. Nina still has to figure out how to complete her destiny and complete her mating bonds. Her Hidden Pack ended on a cliffhanger that had me yelling at the book. The next book in the series is Her Shifter Kingdom and I don't know if it's the final book in the series or just the continuation but either way I am ready to find out what happens next.

[Irene Kiew · Rating 2 out of 5]

Speedread this one and skimmed a lot, because I wanted to know what happened next but was impatient with Nina's internal monologue and the slow pacing of the story. Honestly from book #1 to book #4 there's been zero growth in this woman.

Also, she's all "I would sacrifice myself for my mates" NOT because she's so selfless, but rather because she selfishly doesn't want to see any of them get hurt... I say 'selfishly' since the Oracle (whom they finally meet in this book) tells her that literally the fate of the world is in her hands, but she's willing to let it all go to $hit just because she doesn't want see her mates get injured or die. It's like the bigger picture doesn't matter to her, all she thinks about is her own fears and desires.

So yes, she turns out to be one of those "chosen one" kinda heroine which is ugh. Many heroines don't want to be the chosen one, but they step up to the plate when they realise what's at stake. Nina, not so much.

Also couldn't stand it that all the guys are like, "She's so beautiful, she's so perfect" when they hardly even know her and all they have had with her is a bunch of orgasms. They all think she's wonderful despite the fact that being her mates has caused them to be constantly on the run, rejected and cast out by their packs, attacked and perpetually bruised and bleeding, sometimes very close to the point of death. I just wanted to barf at the way they all thought she hung the moon.

Then along comes the fifth guy who actually doesn't want to be her mate, and that was refreshing. But he makes a 180° U-turn in about 2.5 seconds and ... urgh. I understand he couldn't have their deaths on his conscience, but once he jumps into the fray he's suddenly all in and offers to be a knight by her side! His actual words! More barf. Like she's a queen and he's hers to command.

I mean, I wouldn't mind if Nina did have the qualities of a queen like Shara in Their Vampire Queen (by Joely Sue Burkhart). Shara took on the responsibility that came with the position and owned it. She did what she needed to do and didn't whine about it. She made the hard decision and led the way. But Nina is constantly whining in her own mind, and not only that, she's always worrying and second-guessing herself and blaming herself for causing her men to be injured whilst fighting off the people who attack her.

Of course, Shara did have powers and her powers grew as she grew into her role of queen and added to her harem. In contrast, Nina remained curiously powerless, unable to even shift into her wolf. It's weird to be the chosen one, yet not granted any powers to achieve what she needed to achieve. Throughout this series, she and the guys have been constantly getting beat up and defeated by Jax's wolves, and more than once had to retreat or run away. That didn't change in this book.

So I would say that it was natural for Nina to be a bit uncertain or feel unprepared for her role once she found out what was happening. At the same time, I think I expected her to have more maturity and strength. I wanted her to grow into the kind of confidence which knows she has people by her side and that she can rely on them. But her thoughts were constantly in a loop and always self-centred--always about how she felt. She didn't even really think about how the guys felt. Like, she would put herself in danger or offer herself up as bait without ever thinking about how worried they would be or how they'd feel if she were to be badly injured or die.

Nina also doesn't have the qualities of a leader; she didn't take on the mantle of responsibility with courage, and even the way she spoke to the Oracle was somewhat petulant. I do remember that in book #3 it was her decision to search for the Oracle, but other than that she seems more reactive than anything else. She reacts to situations, often unthinkingly, and this TSTL behaviour gets her into trouble.

The other thing I didn't like in this story was that the gods and the fates seem to be manipulating Nina and using her. They were trying to influence her to do what they considered was the right thing. In the end, it boils down to doing what they want, so of course they would claim that's the right thing to do. It put a lot of pressure on Nina, yet they remained cryptic and wouldn't give her any clear instructions or even practical help. The best the Oracle could tell her was that her fifth mate was in a bar, so Nina and the guys go bar-hopping and visit a different bar every night in hopes of finding him!! I mean, how stupid is that? How many bars are there in a city? Literally dozens if not hundreds! Yet the Oracle keeps telling Nina to hurry and that she must find her fifth mate before it's too late. That was very annoying.

It was also never explained why exactly Nina needs five mates. Sure, they all represent something, but why did she need all these representations? What was the symbolism of that?

The bigger conflict or bigger stakes was an attempt to tie everything together but it fell flat for me. The use of Norse mythology was unusual (at least, I thought it was) but I felt it was poorly executed.

The guys remained devoid of personality. Honestly all they seemed good for was fighting Nina's enemies and sexing Nina up. Roman, who was such a strong character in book #1, faded into obscurity and became just another guy in all the other books. He didn't stand out; Blake, who's a history professor, never once spoke about his field, never exchanged any nerdy banter with Nina or anyone apart from that one joke Nina made about elevenses when they first met him in Book #2. He might as well have been a chemist or accountant for all it made any difference.

Can't remember what Roman, Micah or Tate does--I don't believe it's ever mentioned. All Nina says is that Tate has been good at saving money, so they were able to dip into his savings while on the move. Also, all of them seem to be able to take off from their jobs indefinitely without any repercussions, considering they all went on the run with Nina from the first moment each of them met her and bonded with her. Even the prof appears to have been able to drop his classes and students with nary a thought. I'm lecturer and this kinda bugged me, because I can't imagine disappearing into the ether and not having students complain to my boss about classes being cancelled for weeks.

I have already skimmed the last book and know how it ends. Actually it's no surprise, since Nina is the heroine and heroines always prevail. So I won't review the last as I really didn't read most of it. My take on this series is that if you like reading about your FMC and her harem constantly getting beaten up, kidnapped, shot at, stabbed or slashed, and defeated, this is the series for you. It was honestly quite depressing, and the FMC's thoughts were annoyingly repetitive. The sex was nothing special--I can tell you that Nina always orgasms twice during every encounter, without fail. I don't know if I'd read another book by this author.

Her hidden pack is book 4 in this series and it shows no sign of letting up in all the tension as well as the pace. Still trying to evade Jax. Nina and her guys (Roman, Micah, Blake and Tate) slowly find out more about their background. Which in turns brings about some eye opening secrets to surface. More complications comes from locating her 5th mate and the problems that arise from that. Fast paced from the beginning to the end with a cliffhanger ending that was blindingly good. Im loving this series so much. Im looking forward to book 5 now

[Debbie Eyre · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a great series and this is a fab addition! Nina and her mates are still on the run, it’s fast paced and action packed and I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. It’s one hell of a journey that’s fraught with danger and drama, violence and some steam and that ending! OMG I so cannot wait for the next book!

Loving this series

[Lexa · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is all about finding Nina's fifth and final mate. Along the way we find out some major information on why Nina has five mates. She is going to stop the world from ending. Her fifth mate tries very hard to not become her mate. He is part of the shadow pack from the mountain. He is cast out once they see he is her fated mate. Nina finds him at a bar drinking and he rejects her. Nina is heartbroken. :( :( Don't worry, Nina is persistent and he comes around.

Can't wait to read book 5.

[Seraphia Bunny · Rating 4 out of 5]

Her Hidden Pack is book four in Helen Scott’s House of Wolves and Magic series. Book four picks up where book three left off with Nina and her four mates out in the woods trying to survive attacks from two separate packs – The Shadow Forest wolves and Jax’s wolves that he keeps sending to reclaim Nina. They are striving to find the oracle, because Nina wants to hear the prophecy that has been dictating her life for so many years. The time has finally come! To hear the truth about what is going on now and has been for years will be a step in the right direction, but surviving it all will be a whole different matter.
Her Hidden Pack takes some steps in the right direction and the storyline moves along nicely overall. Nina and her mates are finally get a bit of relief and some answers to some of their questions. Apparently, there is more going on than meets the eye and Nina is told – resist Jax or lose everything. She knows she should resist him, but when she’s with him...he begins to wear her down. Nina is also told, that she has one more mate out there and she needs to find him if she is going to stand a chance at standing up to Jax. No big deal right? Resist Jax, find her last mate, and complete the mate bond with him.
This book is, like the last one...pretty up and down. It has it’s good moments that are engaging, and then it has moments of where it gets dragged down and I’m skimming to move forward. There are moments in this book of where I feel that Nina gets an attitude for no reason at all. I get that she and the guys have been under a lot of stress, but for her to be snapping at someone offering her help...not smart. I couldn’t help rolling my eyes when she says she’s “been fighting for so many years of her life.” While this is a tiny bit true...it’s not. She’s been sparring with other people and rarely has it been a true fight for her life until now. So, she really doesn’t have a lot of room to be patting herself on the back in that aspect of things. I can still can’t get over my disappointment at the unpreparedness of these characters though.
This book has quite a few good moments which I like and appreciate, I just would like a bit less detail in the mundane moments and more detail in the more crucial moments. I understand that some moments are kept vague to keep pulling readers along, but I think that a tiny bit more info in well placed moments would be better at keeping me fully engaged. I’m choosing to rate this installment 4 out of 5 stars. I like the progess that is finally being made, but I didn’t like the pop-up pity parties Nina kept having.

This is book four of the House of Wolves and Magic series and sees Nina and her four mates, roman, Micah, Tate and Blake, still in search for the Oracle and trying to keep out of the hands of Jax and his enforcers. They have all been struggling with a number of injuries from their recent battles in and around the dangerous Shadow Forest. Nina keeps having dream like visions, showing her what she must seek out, but also telling her she is running out of time! They have to ravel deeper into the Shadow Forest and Nina insists on following her nose, when scents finally link to her visions. Following a trail of lavender, finally brings her a scent of pine, but also an old woman in a field of lavender. This woman is a powerful witch, one of three sisters, but also something more. She helps Nina and her mates to heal and rest and pushes her towards her fifth and final mate. She is also being pulled towards Jax as a potential mate, not that she would ever willingly go with him and endure his cruel treatment. If she chooses Jax, then she will lose all of her mates and the shifter world will fall into utter chaos and discord, with Jax’s type of ruling by fear, females treated as breed mares and abused, and no chances of equality.

Nina knows that if she can’t find the Oracle or her fifth mate, then her visions of a coming darkness that will take over the world, will come to fruition. Her current mates may well be shocked to find out she must find another mate, in order to meet the fate upon her shoulders, but they would all lay down their lives for her, in the fight against Jax and his enforcers, the Shadow Forest pack, or any other danger she may face. If they do not succeed, it will be the whole world that will be effected, if darkness is allowed to rule. Nina is seeing what she will soon find out, are mythological figures, in her visions and they are warning her of what may come. Her hunt for her fifth mate is not as straight forward as they hoped and they have to avoid any other shifters, if they are to keep out of Jax’s clutches. Finding a mate is not the only step required, the mating call must be accepted by both parties and that may not be what the other wants, especially when they realise that Nina comes with a harem of four mates already. The book ends on another cliffhanger, not of action, but of intense pain and suffering, leaving me wanting more! I can’t wait to see what is happening to Nina and her mates in the next book. I received an ARC copy of this book from BookSprout and I have freely given my own opinion of the book above.

[Marissa]

Wow this series is just so amazing! We got a lot more during this book and I could not get enough of it! I am not going to lie but the major twist of what this series is turning out to be was not one I was expecting and I while I haven't read many books that take on this line Helen does a great job of filling in some details.

Nina started off searching for the oracle and then was left with more questions than answers and was off to search for her 5th mate. However you also get more information of the pack life and well, the shifter community does not treat the women as very high and they just become the cogs in order to have more children and not thought of as equal or truly a part of the pack. The world is changing though and it is time that the shifter communities realize that there is a better way to live their life and they need to stop being so closed minded.

There were many more twists to this story but at the same time there has been so munch growth between Nina and her men and not a lot of time has truly passed for them between the events that occur in this series. I cannot wait to find out what happens in the next book and this series has truly killed me! There is plenty of steam as well as more searching for answers and I cannot wait to get to the bottom of who Nina is and what she can really do. I definitely recommend you grab this series!

[Emily Pennington · Rating 5 out of 5]

Nina is still searching for the oracle and still on the run from her old pack Alpha Jax. Micah walked next to her while Blake and Tate had been injured most recently and were still recovering and walking more slowly.

Nina smelled lavender in the air which the oracle had mentioned when giving her the strange prophecy. But she couldn’t smell the pine yet. Roman gestured for her to lead and they all followed. They walked into a clearing full of lavender, she closed her eyes and smelled the pine!

Then a woman’s voice rudely asked who they were trespassing on her land. She told them she was a witch and offered to heal them. Roman didn’t trust her, but the witch, the raven, all the signs were here and meant they were on the right path to the oracle. And the witch could tell them where the oracle was… if she trusted them. Nina has to find her last mate and deny the mate bond to Jax. Oddly all the characters are somehow descendants of Norse Gods. Will Jax stop her before she finds her last mate?

This story is full of twists and turns and fills the reader with a sense of urgency to keep eagerly reading and find out the answers. The cliff hanger ending will definitely leave you wanting more!

[Lene Blackthorn · Rating 4 out of 5]

It finally looks like luck has showed some mercy to Nina and her mates. She is gaining confidence and occasional upper hand in the fight against Jax, which is more than she got before, being constantly on the run. Even finally meeting the Oracle gives her hope and fresh energy to go searching for her remaining mate - only to hit the wall of rejection and escalated violence from her old pack.
I quite enjoyed the development with Denver in this book, and the forming of the bond - after gaining four mates, it was necessary to take a sharp turn in different direction to not give out the feeling of repetitiveness, regardless of which mate bond could have been similar. The curtain has lifted a bit also for other mates, not only the newcomer, and showed hints about backgrounds and origins that add new horizons to the story. I also very much appreciated the mythology element, which also brought valuable information about Nina and Jax. As the pressure escalates and we grow closer to the final battle, the stakes are getting higher and the series becomes more and more interesting. Now it's time to finally see Nina's other form :))

[Darcy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow! This story is action packed from beginning to the end. It has you deeply engaged throughout it. The story begins where book three left off. Nina, Roman, Micah, Blake, and Tate have been through such a journey that only keeps going. We learn just a bit more about our characters and we can feel so much throughout it. The story takes some intriguing twists as the story progresses.

The chemistry between the five of them is so completely strong. It is beautifully written and developed. It has so many layers in such a short time. You can just feel the love and pain from these stunning characters as they journey onward. Helen Scott is magnificent in all her glory and it shows so beautifully as she writes. She has me glued to my seat with anticipation for the next book in the series as this one ends in a major cliffhanger. This is a must read that doesn’t disappoint.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

🐺....and then there were FIVE!!!

Prepare for a doozy of a cliffhanger going into this epic read. Our beloved author has done it again. This world continues to grow with rich layers and multilayered characters. Its not a journey for the faint of heart as there's plenty of violence, and steamy moments too... but it's oh so worth it! At the heart of the story is a woman with determination, grit, a huge heart, and huge capacity for love and compassion. This journey has taken our characters far, and looks.like there's more to go. There are a few revelations that surprise our group, and I long to see what's to come. If you've not read the previous books within the series before, I strongly suggest doing so. This will give you a far deeper understanding of the complex relationships and themes within. This book definitely leaves you wanting more...and I can't wait for the follow up!!

Nina and her men are back and now we find out if they make it to see the oracle. So how much more with this bunch deal with. They have been constantly fighting and evading Jax. So Nina and the guys finally find some help from a witch. Can this witch point them in the direction of the oracle. Funny thing is yes and it is the most unexpected thing that happens. Then we find out that Nina has to find her last mate and deny the mate bond to Jax. Now here is the weird thing, all these characters are somehow descendants of Norse Gods. Nina is the one that can either save them all or all will fall. So will she be able to find her last mate or will Jax be there to intercept her. We get more action and definitely more hot and heavy moments. We are on the edge of our seats and really need to know how this will end. I cannot wait for the next book.

Just can’t seem to catch a break

Nina, a female wolf shifter in hiding, along with her wolf shifter mates, Roman, Micah, Blake and Tate are still on the run from the new Alpha of Nina’s former pack and searching for the Oracle to find some answers. As the story progresses a brief respite is given, hard truths are delivered, and finding out the truth is harder to process than anything they have encountered. Helen Scott’s Her Hidden Wolves brought one of my theories back and confirmed a few others as well. These poor characters just can’t seem to catch a break at all during the book and I have a feeling that the most exciting things are still to come.

I read this book with my Kindle Unlimited subscription and I received a free copy of the book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.

[Samantha Silensky · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yes another action packed, suspenseful book in this series. The cliffhanger had me internally screaming. The book continues with Nina and her mates searching for the Oracle, add in some adrenaline, fighting, a ticking clock, the old gods/goddesses, and the possible end of the world, and you’ve got an idea of the weight on Nina and her mates shoulders. Add the stress of trying to find her missing mate on top of all of it, and I don’t know about you, but it would likely be enough to make me lose my mind. Thanks to her mates, and some heated, hot and heavy scenes with all of them, she keeps her head straight and walks, runs, and limps on. But she isn’t sure how much more she can take all of this, for the sake of the greater good.

[Helen Gray · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is like a sexed up action movie! It is amazing! As like the previous books in this series there is lots of running, hiding, fighting, violence and lots of steamy sex scences. I thought this book was going to be pretty straight forward - find her 5th mate and then head for a final showdown with Jax. But nope! It wasn't that straight forward at all! And the problem with kindle books versus paperback is with a paperback you can see there is only like a page left. With a kindle book you are anxiously watching the percentage at the bottom of the screen hoping that the remaining 3% is going to squeeze another chapter in and not be the author bio and list of books, but noooo! I am seriously shocked at how this was left.... need the next book like now!

[Naurarwen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Finally, Nina and her mates get a bit of a respite from those chasing them, even if it isn't for long. She needs to find the Oracle, then her fifth and final mate, and save the world. Clearly, they don't want much from her ha. As always crazy Jax and his pack are still after Nina, some want to catch her and take her to their leader and others just want to kill her so the "problem" goes away. This story like the others is action-packed and there are lots of twists and turns on the way.

I have been loving the progression of these characters throughout the stories, not just as singular characters but as mates. The guys are even bonding more with each other, which thankfully makes it a little easier. Everything is building up to what could be one final, epic fight and I'm so here for it.

[Andrea Green · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love this series and the way the relationship dynamic have been formed and written as there is a real emotional connection as a reader to Nina and all her men.
This is also one of those rare series where each book is better than teh last and even at book 4 i am still gripped and need to know how things work out where as with some series i am getting board about now.
In this book they are still searching fro the oracal whilst also searching for the rest of her mates.
The Norse god connection throew me for a while but by the end of teh book it felt right
so Book 5 is hugely anticipated as nina still needs to evade Jax and find her final mate and i a so hoping the final mate isnt Jax as i really dont think i could handle that twist!

[Retta · Rating 5 out of 5]

Well then that was a book! Kept me going from start to finish! Hard to believe so much happened in such a short span of pages. Nina finally meets the oracle and gets some but maybe not all of her questions answered. Then she is sent to look for her last mate. That in itself is another harrowing journey full of hits and misses with more of Jax’s men. Poor Nina, life is full of rough spots for her with some good ones to hopefully balance the bad. Hopefully Tate, Roman, Blake and Micah keep her balanced and soon a 5th to add or is that a no? Keep reading! I hope you enjoy it as much as me and I look forward to the conclusion!

[Jessica Robbins · Rating 5 out of 5]

I swear this series just keeps getting better and better as each new book comes out. Nina has a vision of having five mates but has only found four of them so far. She does not really trust that there is another one but regardless she is hoping to find him before the horrid vision of the world ending happens. They have to find the Oracle to get answers to their questions but the Shadow Forest is a dangerous place to have to look. Add in the fact that they are still being hunted and you get a fast paced story that sucks you in until you hit the end. I am completely hooked on this awesomeness by now and cannot wait to see what happens next. I totally loved it so I give it 5/5 stars.

[Kira Bell · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nina is still on the quest to find the oracle with her mates at her side, and a quest it truly is. Action packed and steamy hot, it will hold your interest as they journey through their search for the oracle and Nina's fifth mate. The characters continue to bond and the development of the story intensifies as they face tribulations and battles with their enemies along the way. Great segue from book 3 and the smooth transition helps you dive right back into the story with ease. Ends on a cliff hanger that definitely leaves you wanting more.

[Booklover26 · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wow not what I was expecting with that ending! We start off where the group left off on book 3. it was nice they had a break and had some recoup time for once and some luck along the way. Of course they are still in for a fight of a lifetime and the stakes just got raised higher than anyone anticipated and more twists continue. I love watching Nina grow into a strong independent woman, but still opens her heart to her men and knows when to rely on them more. Interested to read the next book and see what happens next.

I can't take it!! This series is seriously going to be the death of me. I wasn't ready for that cliffhanger. This journey into this chaotic world is not for the faint of hearts as there's plenty of violence, action, intrigue, and of course steamy encounters. But it's so worth all the torment I'm putting myself though. As I eagerly wait for the next book in the series. I received a free copy via Booksprout and as always my reviews are totally voluntarily and no monetary compensation was received and the opinions I have expressed are my own.

This was another great installment in this series. Secrets are revealed and you finally understand what Nina's role is when she finds the Oracle. Nina finally finds her 5th mate and he is not what he seems at first. I love that each new encounter with one of her mates is so unique and this one is definitely a challenge. Her bonds with her other mates grow and she gets to know them better and comes to accept her pull toward Jax and understand that she has a choice and can resist him. I sure hope the next book is the last, I need to know what happens.

This is a book in a continuous series. A female wolf shifter has pain in the Battle of her life. She has found four of her five mates thus far. In this book she will continue her journey while escaping the dangerous that have followed her and her mates. She learns the consequences of her choices should she choose to turn away from her meets and what could be accomplished if she fights to remain with her mates.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Nina and her mates are back in book four of the House of Wolves and Magic series. In this book they are searching for the oracle, looking for her fifth mate, and Jax continues to stalk them. There is a lot going on in this book and after that cliffhanger ending I can't wait for the next book to find out what happens next. Her Hidden Pack is an action packed story with magic, prophecy, suspense, steam, humor, and unexpected twists that had me reading nonstop until the last page. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.
