Silver Fire

Werewolf #1

by Arianna Hart

Psychic Faylene Driscol has worked for the police department for a long time, but never in all those years has she seen the level of depravity she witnessed after interrogating a Keeper of the Race. This insane cult is out to destroy any non-human-and anyone who'd defend them. Werewolf Thaddeus Ma'wrl knows all about the Keepers. They killed his entire pack, leaving him a lone wolf out for revenge. Although he'd sworn never to trust another human woman again, he must protect Faylene so she can help put the Keepers behind bars. What he didn't expect was that she'd touch a part of him he'd thought long dead and buried. As Thad and Faylene run from danger, an irresistible attraction curls between them. Faylene longs to heal the emotional scars Thad carries with him, but she can't help him if he doesn't want her to, and she has her own scars she's hiding. With the Keepers gunning for them, falling in love is the last thing that should be on their minds. Too bad passion makes its own rules and doesn't care about good timing.

Reviews

[Netanella · Rating 3 out of 5]

Silver Fire is set in a near future New York where psychics are part of the police force and supernatural creatures live openly among us, although they are discriminated against in the same way that ethnic and racial differences among humans often separate us now. Our heroine is a psychic police officer whose testimony can help bring down the Keepers, a fanatical human-supremacist group. Our guy is the standard tortured Alpha male werewolf with a big hole in his heart from having his pack massacred by said Keepers. So, in other words, a cool setting and set up for the story, but a lackluster delivery. Hart speeds through the story and doesn't spend enough time on her characters or their actions. I swear the ending sequence was over in 10 pages. Otherwise, a good book, and I do look forward to the sequel, Sable Flame. (What the titles refer to, I have yet to figure out. Hate it when that happens.)

Three stars for this one. It wasn't bad but it wasn't great either, kinda middle of the road. Good idea & setting but the actual story could have been better. It moved fast without much back story, except for why the H was the classic tortured hero.
