Lure of Oblivion
(The Mercury Pack #3)
by
Gwen Miller may be a human, but she has no problem taking a stand against her own kind. She’s going to testify against the teenage boy she saw viciously assault a lone shifter female—and no amount of pressure from the boy’s wealthy family will make her back down. But when the harassment turns violent, help comes in the form of a lean, toned wolf with winter-gray eyes.

This was the first book I read in the series. So, yes. It peaked my interest in the others than I moved to the Phoenix books.

Suzanne Wright is one of my FAVORITE authors. She is definitely on my "Could Shit on Paper and I Would Read It" shelf. In fact, you know what? I'm gonna go create a shelf with that name. Cause, fuck it.
Be right back.
Okay, I'm back.
Anyway, as I was saying.
I adore Ms. Wright and I have read and will continue to read every single book she writes.

Lure of Oblivion was a good solid read for me. I would expect no less of Suzanne Wright. She is one of my favorite authors and her books always hit the good spot. I will say that though I enjoyed this read something kept it from being a 5 star read for me. I honestly can't put a finger on what kept this read from wowing me but something was missing for me.

My relationship with this author is a simple, yet perfect one. She writes it...and I read it ;)
I have read every book in the the "Deep in your Veins" series, the "Dark In You" series, the "Phoenix Pack" series and of course the "The Mercury Pack" series. To say that I am a big fan of Suzanne Wright, would be an understatement.

After three books it finally feels like a Mercury Pack book and not a Phoenix Pack extended book. It helped of course that no one from the Phoenix Pack made an appearance. This was strictly a Mercury Pack show even if most of it takes place away from their home.

Lure of Oblivion is the third book in the Mercury Pack. Although this is the third book in the series, it can be read as a stand-alone. The Mercury Pack is a spin-off of the Phoenix Pack and both packs are full of alpha male shifters and their sassy shifter mates. With each book release, I become more entranced by this world and believe me when I say I will never get enough.

Awesome story and so much humor!
I just love the little humorous threads that the author has going through these books. Like the fact that Makenna is so outrageously superstitious, Dominic and his sleazy pick up lines, and now Gwen has her own funny thing that she does to irritate Zander. There is a lot of humor in these books, which I love, but also a lot of action and romance!

This is a tough one to review because although I liked it, I didn't love it like I have most of Wright's books and I'm not too sure why. Wright is an auto-buy author for me, but this one was a bit of a let down. See, it had the strong, sassy heroine - albeit a human one - who took no crap, a hot and growly alpha shifter, no lack of communication, getting to revisit the previous characters, a decent bit of the old suspense and nary a TSTL move in sight, buuuuut ... IDK, there was just something m

I have never been disappointed in a Suzanne Wright book.
Gwen, while human, is a strong female lead. Zander is a quiet, broody male shifter. They are attracted to each other and the story takes off from there. The story-line is good, the suspense is good, the secondary characters are great. I guess I just really did not get Zander, but, still enjoyed the story. I will absolutely continue to read Ms Wright's books, they always have delivered a great story for me. ...more

For me this was the best one so far. I really liked Gwen and her whole crazy family.
Add to this mix the moody and broody Zander and I was one happy bunny.

I am a Ms. Wright fan and I love all her series. She sucks you. Gives you great characters with quirky personalities and a zest for life and for them to find their mates. There is snark, there is a knock your socks off plot. There are shenanigans you love and cannot wait to read about again and again. It’s like coming home and it is the same here as well

I've loved this authors shifter stories and both the Mercury Pack and the Phoenix Pack books are always books that I sit down and relish. This time though it's a story that features a very human heroine but rest assured there's still plenty of chest beating shifter goodness!

The third book in the Mercury Pack series brings us the story of enforcer, Zander and I was happily surprised to learn that his heroine, Gwen, is a human. It’s an interesting twist already, and when you add in shifter/human drama, family drama, sizzling hotness, a heartfelt romance and a nice amount of action, this is another great read from Suzanne Wright.

Whew, this is a tough one, it took me awhile to finish this. I like it, it was a good read but I didn’t love it. The plot was good, it was still entertaining and the battle scene was instense. I just had a hard time connecting with Gwen and Zander.
I also love that the Mercury pack consists of wolves, seers, margay and now a human...
Another good thing is the change of scenery and the ghosts 😉👻
Still this is an okay book and I’ll still recommend this to others. 👍🏻
