Frog Fugue Fundamentals

Wolves of Stone Ridge #57

by Charlie Richards

Out of the An estranged man heeds his brother’s call and finds his choice blessed by Fate, if he can connect with the altered human. Anthony Holsteen hasn’t been in the same state as his brother, Dixon, in nearly a century. While they keep tabs on each other and talk a couple of times a year, they do better while far apart. All that changes when Dixon tells Anthony about the many problems his new wolf shifter pack is facing—government conspiracy, witches, humans being turned into shifters, and to top it off, a bigoted sheriff forced into retirement. While Anthony knows that living in close proximity to Dixon could create waves, he accepts the position of sheriff. After all, he would prefer to be in the know when it comes to those causing problems with paranormals. Even though Dixon has warned Anthony that most of the wolf shifters in his new pack have found their fated mates, he doesn’t expect it to happen to him. He isn’t a wolf, after all. His kind are deadly and feared and rarely find their mates. The scent of one of the altered humans, however, is undeniable. Anthony realizes that Crew Kester is his mate. Except, Crew isn’t gay and is just coming to terms with being a shifter. The man runs. Can Anthony put aside his dominant nature long enough to accept aid from a pack he doesn’t know so he can win the trust of a confused and wary Crew, not to mention his affection?

finding a way.

Crew was a solder who had been experiment on and turned into a shifter a cheetah, he shifted the 1st time when Anthony a poison arrow frog and his mate arrived at the pack headquarters. Crew had never been with a guy and Anthony didn’t think his frog was lovable. They found a way to make it work.

An okay read

Okay but too short as usual and ends abruptly. Needs better editing as confusing near start when Anthony’s named used more than once when it should have Crew’s name. Really a three and a half.

This was a very enjoyable read (would have liked it much more without the homophobes). Anthony finds his mate, however, his mate, Crew, just happened to be straight, but I appreciated how they did form their bond with patience and understanding. I wish that there was a bit more of these two, but the story was well done.

Typical for the author

This book was typical for the series. I enjoyed the characters and story but feel like it ended abruptly. I would have liked a little more.

This story could have been longer.
I expected there to be trouble after an incident at Anthony's new job but the story ended before that could happen.

Good story, Too short

Most all of these books are short to some degree or other, but I would ha e liked to see more with this couple.

This book leaves their sexual relations hanging..and unresolved completely

[Tala · Rating 3 out of 5]

Story was good.
Consistently getting names wrong was not and this one more than the others felt like it ended invthe middle.

[Jude · Rating 2 out of 5]

Last quarter of a massive (obsessive) re-re-read of the series in Charlie Richard's Stone Ridge world.
