Wolf Shield - Book One

by Maria Isabel Pita

A failed relationship encourages Audrey Goodrich to forgo London’s big city stimulations and return to the more profound pleasures of her family’s eighty acre estate in Mashbury, where she grew up alone with her father, a renowned historian. She was only eight-years-old when her mother, Wilona disappeared one night without a trace. Engaged in some serious soul-searching, Audrey finds herself distractingly attracted to her closest neighbor—Jonathan Ackart, just returned home from a long tour of duty in Afghanistan. Whatever emotional scars he might have suffered remain a daunting mystery, as does the wolf-like dog she begins catching glimpses of in the woods surrounding her home.


Then a letter miraculously arrives from Wilona asking for a chance to explain why she abandoned her family more than two decades ago, and commanding her daughter not tell anyone where she’s going. Audrey hates lying to her father but she can’t resist the desire to learn the truth, or the intensely charismatic man who delivered her mother’s message. What she doesn’t know is that a battle is being fought for her heart by two eternal forces at war with each other, one entrusted to guard her and the other determined to possess her, body and soul.

Okay, so here I was, enjoying this book, digging on all the ancient Egypt references when... it just... stopped. I so get sudden endings. When you're in a series and each book is 800+ pages long (Tad Williams anyone?). But really, a dead stop on a 50 page novella?

Anyway, needless to say, I was a bit shocked at the abruptness of the ending, but the overall story is good and engaging. I liked the characters as well, so there is something good going on here.
