Her. She was the one who’d brought the wolf here. 5 GOLD PAWS UP
That voice. Her smell. They called to the wolf…and to the male within. So perfect, so beautiful. Mine. You’re made to be mine. I did feel made to be his. WHAT A HOWLING FURTASTIC STORY!! WOW! I ABSO-SHIFTING-LUTELY love, Love, LOVE this book and series! I love the way that Skye tells her stories, the magical way I am drawn in, entranced from the start, not stopping for anything until I have finished the book! The detail to the "background" of the story paints such a picture that I almost feel like I watched it rather than "just" read about it! By "background" I mean the other characters as well as their surroundings and everything that goes on around, behind the main characters. I feel like I can actually see the forest for the trees, as well as the Wolf in the Woods! wink The Pack laws & ways, how & where they live, play, hunt & mate, their histories as individuals and the Pack as a whole, add even more layers of enriched depth to the story. Her characters are complex and so well-rounded I swear they are real people! There is so much more I want to say - that I NEED to say - to explain why I love this story, why I cried, laughed and cried some more, even quotes I want to share that would help explain this deep connection and love I have for this story & the characters, to convince you to buy this book and read it too so then I COULD chat with someone about it all, but I can't do any of that without spoilers thereby ruining that powerful first rush, that pleasure and that excitement and love that you get from reading a WOLFTASTIC book for the first time!! And trust me, this book IS that SHIFTASTIC book! Skye's intensely beautiful and heartfelt storytelling is the main reason why I feel everything I do about Izzy, Louis, Brooke, Drew and the other characters, why the story has touched me deeply, why I connect to Izzy and honestly felt like I was Izzy! When the bad thing happened, I could see, feel the panic, pain and everything else that Izzy did! (See! This is why I wish I could say more without spoilers!) My first taste of Skye’s writing was with Wolves at the Door, Shifters of the Glen series, book 1, and I was instantly captivated! I knew from almost the beginning when I was pulled so deep into the story without me even being conscious of it, with her beautiful and entrancing way with words, that Skye had a genuine and exceptional gift for storytelling! I was enthralled so quickly and never once being let go until there wasn't anything more to read, living the story, even the depth to which I was connecting and relating to Brooke, seeing, feeling, BEING her, well that only proved to me beyond a shadow of a doubt that Skye is also one enormously talented author!! None of that has changed with this second book of the series (and coincidentally the second book of Skye's that I have read!)! Well okay, that's not completely true! My feelings, hunger, the connection & love I feel for both the characters and the story itself, has grown even deeper, more intense, more tangible, more... just MORE! I have honestly fallen in author-reader love with Skye! I love her books so much, so fast, that I need more books to read NOW! I am a Skye addict, Jonesing for my next fix! Pun FULLY intended! trademark pending! ;)
