I picked up the first book in the series by random, and immediately got drawn into this series. I went right back out and bought the second book of the series. After both were finished, I hated that I had to wait the rest of the year for this book to be released. Then it was released, and I sat down and read this book in a matter of hours. I LOVED it. The only thing I really I don't love is that, since this book there hasn't been any mention of book four. I'm dying here! I really want to know what happens with Sophie next!

I love the flavor this werewolf series has. Sophie Garou, the loner woman of a psychic and a werewolf. She grew up with her mother(the Psychic) and has never met her father (until this book). So, since she hasn't grown up in a werewolf environment, she has been lacking with that side of herself. She tends to be more human, and less wolf. But this time around she is more open to her wolf, and finally gets some history of her father and herself. One thing I loved about this series the most, is that you don't get weighed down with the rules of the pack, like in most werewolf series. Since Sophie hasn't grown up with werewolves, she also has to learn adn grow, and we get to do what with her. Sophie has a natural talent of shielding herself and that has made her to live right under the noses of the Houston pack of werewolves for most of her life. Which is good in one way, and not so good in another. Now discovered, she's not pushed into a world so quickly, she doesn't know how to get out of it, and probably won't be able to.

During the Howl (a large, week long werewolf gathering where fighting is forbidden) Sophie’s father, Luc Garou (who is brand new, in her life) is accused of murder and must stand trial for his life. With his death imminent in days, Sophie must rely on the help of some good friends to help save him. Sophie's friends are great. I Love Tom. He's mysterious and dangerous, and down right yummy! I just wonder if he'll stick around? Sophie also sets out to find what her boyfriend is..
There are so many unanswered questions... Why did Sophie keep the ring?
will there be a challenge to the pack leadership? It's bound to happen. I just wonder who will be challenging.. What will happen with demon-prince and our heroine? Will be bring her even further down the dark side of his affections?

I just love this series. Sophie Garou and her love interests are pure electricity. I cannot wait for the next book, so I can say goodbye to reality and get into Sophie's world again. You won't be sorry!(less)

Tales of an Urban Werewolf is without a doubt one of my favorite fairly unknown series. Leader of the Pack carries on that standard flawlessly.

The books (including book one: Howling at the Moon and book two: On the Prowl) follow werewolf Sophie Garou as she attempts to make her way between were-society and the human world. MacInerney’s characters are so enjoyable and the storyline well written with lots of romance, action and mystery that this series makes the perfect read for any paranormal fic...more

Sophie has a very successful career at an accounting firm, a steady boyfriend, and things are finally looking up. Sophie's father chooses this inopportune time to reunite.

Although it referenced a situation from an earlier book twice or so, and the ex-boyfriend makes an appearance, the only thing that might be said to suffer is the world view. Apparently there is magic in the world now, as Sophie's mom is a witch, and there are were-animals, as reference is made to a were-cat late in the text. But most people don't know anything about them, so magic must be in the closet still. I don't see how, as Sophie seems fairly indiscreet, as her "best friend" knows about being a were and her main goal is to become one. Additionally, midway through the book, her ex- becomes aware of weres as well, and Sophie outs the werecat to both of them. Very surprising since she tells Lindsey, "if the wrong people find out about me... They might kill me or stick me in a cage."
Definitely a book for the paranormal romance fans due to three lust interests and multiple sexual encounters. I'm not much of a paranormal fan, and I'm sensing a disturbing trend in authors focusing on sexual incidents in lieu of emotional development. We see very little depth in the relationship between Sophie and Mark, except for heated sexual exchanges, flirting over the phone and one dinner. Yes, he's "hot," but this is the emotional point she's at after breaking up with her almost-fiance? Didn't seem plausible, but if it was, it's a person I don't care much to know. Sophie's interests in both Mark and Tom seem to be largely sexual, Health's partly nostalgic, and it's only midway through that more of an emotional attachment starts to develop with Tom.

Sadly, the emotional relationship with Lindsey, her "best friend" is also lacking as well. Lindsey is begging Sophie to make her into a werewolf, and Sophie refuses. The reason for Sophie's reluctance that seems to do with self-loathing, but really aren't well explored on either part. Lindsey show up for the occasional brainstorm and to bring Health back into the picture, but I'm not feeling the friendliness between them, unlike the female friendships in Chloe Neill's Chicagoland series.

Surprisingly, the challenge of figuring out the real killer is a good mystery. Not particularly good or tension building in the process of solving, but in the final solution. Most of the tension comes from the threat of her father's (fixed) trial. Sophie makes attempts at trying to solve the mystery, but ends up mostly providing the emotional leverage to involve other people in helping her. The final solution had an unexpected twist that made a great deal of sense without being too obvious.

Upshot: this is the Hershey bar version of guilty pleasure readings. Tolerable when you can't find any better chocolate.(less)

If you are new to the series I'd recommend you read these books in order so check out the reviews for Howling at the Moon.

The end of the previous book saw Sophie split up with her human boyfriend Heath & she is now dating her sexy client Mark. At least with Mark she doesn't have to try & hide the fact that she's a werewolf - this time it is him that is keeping his identity secret. She knows he isn't human but what exactly is he and is it really a wise idea to get involved with him?

Sexy werewolf Tom is still on the scene and there is definitley a major attraction between them but he is still dating Sophie's best friend Lindsey which makes things more than a little complicated. Especially now when she is going to be needing his help more than ever.

Life seems to be going well until the father Sophie hasn't seen since she was a baby turns up wanting to re-connect with her. She is naturally wary when Luc arrives but before they have even have a chance to get to know each other Luc finds himself arrested for the murder of another werewolf. The penalty if he is found guilty is death and considering the jury are all his enemies things aren't looking good. Sophie is going to need all the help she can get to clear Luc's name without starting a werewolf war.

I really enjoyed the last installment of this trilogy. There is plenty of intrigue and just as much comedy as the previous 2 books. All of the ends tied together well but I did feel that the ending seemed a little rushed. A few of the things that Heath & Lindsey did surprised me but added an interesting twist to the story. I would love to read a further installment to see how Sophie deals with things after the end of this book - I'm sure you'll understand what I mean if you've read this. Overall I found this series entertaining & would recommend it to urban fantasy and werewolf fans. (less)

One of the reasons why MacInerney's series is not "just another werewolf tale" is that it really has its own flavor. The main character, Sophie Garou hasn't grown up in a Pack. So the reader is not withered down immediately with all the hierarchical rule weaving that most authors strain to include at the very beginning of a series.

So the reader is not withered down immediately with all the hierarchical rule weaving that most authors strain to include at the very beginning of a series. And it's refreshing because the reader goes on the journey of discovery with the character.

So in addition to not growing up in a pack, Sophie's natural talent of shielding herself has enabled her live right under the noses of the Houston pack of werewolves for most of her natural life. This has come with its advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage being that when she is finally discovered by a rogue packette, and a werewolf enforcer, she is thrust into a series of events that she won't be able to wiggle out of.

Leader of the Pack is the third in this urban werewolf series and usually in the third book there is a big payoff. In On the Prowl, readers were left off with wondering exactly who and what Mark was. Was he some type of demon or spirit? Perhaps both. Wondering if Tom Fenris and Sophie were ever going to make a love connection. Wondering if the mission she completed would get her out of owing any allegiance to the Houston pack. But while there were some resolutions, I expected just a tad more.

We see more development in Mark, Tom, Lindsey's and Heath's character and overall that makes them more interesting in relation to Sophie. And the introduction of Sophie's absent father who is now on trial by the Houston pack plunges her and her friends into new territory of pack politics and a battle for succession, which has a surprisingly satisfying ending.

Readers might be reminded by the Kitty Norville series by Carrie Vaughn with regard to pace and plot development. I'm a fan of MacInerney's and I'd say, let's up the ante just a bit. But Leader of the Pack doesn't disappoint and it was an incredibly good bubble bath read that I enjoyed.

But there's one thing Sophie would rather keep under wraps: She's a werewolf. Sophie's life gets a little more hairy when her long-estranged father, Luc, arrives in the Live Music Capital to attend the werewolves' annual Howl and reconnect with his daughter. But Luc's plans fall apart after he's accused of murder and arrested by his archrival, Wolfgang, leader of the Houston pack (and one notoriously dirty dog). Wolfgang drools at the thought of Luc's impending execution, but Sophie won't let her father die without a fight. Determined to prove her innocence, she and her friends set out to find the real killer. Along the way, Sophie must deal with taboo attractions, Machiavellian intrigues, sinister agendas, and hair-raising betrayals.'

Well this is the third in the series and you can't say it was boring! This one turns Sophie's world completely upside down, no part of her life is left untouched. Saying that, both Heath and Lindsey's lives are changed too. Secrets are aired and declarations made, plus there is new love, old love and plenty of lust (as well as blood).

After Luc's ambitions for Sophie are realised, I'm not sure how Sophie is going to cope with her new life after this but I really really hope that Tom stays in Austin to help her after everything that takes place in this book, it was one of the few questions left unanswered by the end.

As for Mark, well we knew he was something completely different through his actions in ON THE PROWL so I guess it wasn't too big of a surprise when we find out what he is. I can't say anything more on him without revealing too much.

The only thing I was a bit unsure of was how well Heath took Sophie's being a werewolf and what he was willing to do for her and her father. I'm not sure whether he or Lindsey took things seriously enough until the end even though they were given a way out. You'll understand what I mean if you read it.

Overall the story was excellent and the ending was happy. It sort of reminds me of the progression in Carrie Vaughn's Kitty Norville series.(less)

She's dealing with being out in the open with the Houston's werewolf packs, and so far, they have an uneasy relationship and mostly stay out of each other's business. However, things get a little hairy (pun intended) when her stranded father shows up in town. He's there to attend the annual Howl, which is like a werewolf convention, and to reconnect with his daughter.

Sophie's not sure how she feels about Luc being in town. She didn't grow up around him, he's basely a stranger and now he expects everything to be okay after twenty-something years? Unlikely.

Luc's plans to start a relationship with Sophie meet an unexpected bump when he's suddenly accused of murdering an old enemy and is imprisoned by Wolfgang, leader of the pack. Thing is, the Houston pack has this rule that during the Howl, it's forbidden to harm anyone in the pack and if that happens, the only punishment is death, no excuses. Wolfgang and Luc have a bad past so needless to say, he is more than happy to arrest Sophie's dad for his trial and punishment.

Even though Luc's pretty much a stranger to Sophie, she can't just let him die without trying to help him. She's determined to do anything to prove him innocent and so she sets out to find the real killer and why they're trying to frame Luc. But things are not as straightforward as that, because while hunting down a killer, Sophie has to deal with a possessive boyfriend, her attraction to the sexy werewolf, Tom, and hidden agendas.

Leader of the Pack is the third novel in Tales of an Urban Werewolf by Karen MacInerney and to me, the best in the series. There's plenty of action and twists, which was very fun to read. We found out some major info on Sophie's current boyfriend, which changes everything and she's still got a secret crush on her best friend's boyfriend who's also a werewolf. While I'm not sure if there's going to be another book in this series, I was very happy with the ending. Leader of the Pack is an entertaining werewolf story with funny characters and a great plot to read.(less)
