Lone Wolf

The Pack #10

by Karen Whiddon

Disillusioned from his time serving as a Protector under a corrupt Council, Anton Beck has vowed to have nothing to do with anything Pack. He is looking forward to a few months of peace and quiet deep in the Big Bend Mountains of Texas. That quiet is shattered when he's abducted and held captive with none other than his ex-lover-turned-nemesis, Vampire Huntress Marika. But that's not all. She bore his miracle child. And that child has been taken....It becomes clear that an ancient Vampire priestess is behind the kidnapping, but why? To exploit the child's rare gifts? In a race against time, two former lovers must overcome bitterness and broken hearts in order to save their daughter--and save themselves in the process.

This book is complete within itself, even though it is a part of a much larger series. It is a thrilling, easy to read adventure in which I became fully engrossed. I loved the desert setting around Big Bend Texas. The chemistry between Marika and Beck is outstanding and I felt myself wanting the little family to triumph. The ending satisfied and amused me. I love the Nocturne line from Harlequin and this story did not disappoint.

A werewolf and a vampire team up to track their missing daughter. Along the way, they rekindle their romance. This story is emotionally intense as the hero and heroine must overcome their past problems to face an evil priestess hoping to gain ultimate power. Their child is the key, and they race to find her before she can rally her minions against them.

[Crystal · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good storyline, but ending was too rushed. I'd like to know more about the child, and want to see the enemy properly caught/punished. I'm not sure if there's another book that continues this specific story, or if it's centered on another couple (judging by ending, it's probably going to be another couple), but it would've been good to see the story on this couple come to a fuller conclusion. And the whole 'everybody leaves the kids alone' after the huge search for them by all the powerful leaders is just too simple...there should've been more before the happy ending.

This was part of series called "The Pack" and I'm going to try and find more in the series cause I've liked the ones I have read so far. This one about power and what some will do to control it. It was fast paced and exciting.

[Tar’ah · Rating 2 out of 5]

My opinion about this book is like the opinion of a person who always listens to rock music trying to critique a different style of music such as rhythm and blues. Both genres say the same things in different interpretation. You cannot critique a r&b artist just because you dislike that type of music altogether. It's unfair.
With that said, I dislike much of what I saw in this book. I felt like it has a strong beginning and good discriptive writing qualities from Karen Whiddon. There's nothing wrong with the short story she tried to tell. EXCEPT, for my I hated the updated technology used in the book. I cannot remember too well now, but I had an issue with the use of technology. I desired to see more. And from a more serious point of view. I wanted to see fantasy look just like reality only there was shapeshifters and great women fighters and so forth, but I wanted it to be action heroes in a realistic setting. This book was too "fake" for my taste. It just wasn't what I was looking for, but I want to revisit it and give it a second chance. I want to finish it, since I didn't care for it and didn't finish it. So many other people like it. Maybe it's because they finished it and I did not.

This was an interesting read, if you liked the movie underworld awakening then you'd like this book. Though its not quite the same it runs along the same stream.
