This first book in the series was a really great read. In this book we get the see the intricacies of Pack Kyriakis and all the members and history. This book is about Sarah and Constantine, who is the alpha Paris's son. This book takes us on a thrilling adventure in discovering more of the mystery behind the powerful Hunter Gage, the uncovering of what really happened in the past with certain events concerning pack Kyriakis. What gets revealed will certainly leave everyone shocked and racing to prevent disaster from happening. This is a really great shifter book and his also connected to the Blood Brothers series, we get to see more of our face dominant alpha vampire Dante. Highly recommend this book!!!

Crazy in Love
This was interesting, since I've already read the books on the Grimaldi's stories.
Paris, his son Constantine and daughter, Persephone were always intriguing, so this was great background.
It will be interesting to see if the youth and irresponsibility of Constantine and Sarah will get better, because they are their own words enemy.
Now that they know that Gage is no joke, I hoped they are more circumspect about their carefree attitude.
I also wonder if the animal (I'm assuming is a wolf) that Gage is holding as his "pet," is actually Sarah's Mom and Paris' lost love.

I enjoyed reading the Syria's curse. Book 1
Eve Vaughn paranormal book is so exciting to read . She has a big imagination and the sex part in her books will get you excited. I will always read any book she writes. I love that she writes series. I think when she writes her characters it becomes so real because she tells about her character family . She gets down into their past, present, and future, every character has a past . I love happy endings. I loved Sarah and Constantine story. I cann' t wait for Persephone story.

I really enjoyed the story. I’m hoping that Paris and Anisa (I’m going to assume at this point she’s still alive) get their HEA.
I liked Constantine and Sarah’s story. The only turn offs for me were when the males referred to the women as bitches and Sarah. She worked my last nerve. Other than that, great story.
On to the next...

Good read
I always enjoy EV books. She never disappoints. Whenever I'm In the mood for Steam me Shifter interracial romance I always find myself here. She's the best and the business! The story was no different I can't wait to read Paris's story next.

DNF at 55%. Didn’t like Sarah’s character nor how some scenes were borderline rape.

I'm loving this series!
I previously read the vampire series and loved it. This is a whole different world. I've read a lot of shifter books and this is one of the best.

Love this Book!
I had not realized until I audited my kindle a few days ago how much I love Eve Vaughn as an author. I have books in off from from Changeling and Elloras but anyway, what a great story and series to come!! This storyline is an offshoot of the Blood Brothers series and deals with the wolf line instead of vampires. Though I had thought to read about Paris and Anisi the story of Constantine and Sarah was extremely well written. Rarely do you find authors nowadays who provide you with a backstory that leaves you craving for more. Eve has it down to a science without her stories being a formula. Both Constantine and Sarah are likeable, independent without coming across as annoyingly needy or naive. I love how Eve writes interracial stories without harping on the differences or emphasizing race. You can feel the chemistry an the love between all the characters. This was sitting in my TBR section and I finally had the time to read it. I am anxiously awaiting for the next in the is series. There is no cliffhanger as to the couple but there are plenty of need to answered questions regarding the shifter families. Well done and recommended!!!!!!

I really enjoyed this book. It was my first by Ms. Vaughn and I was drawn into the story immediately. The world in which her werewolves, vampires and warlocks, lived was both vibrant and exciting. I have to admit that this is one of the steamiest novels that I have read in a long time. Constantine, one of the main characters in the book is an absolute gem of an alpha-in-waiting. This book really is the complete package, with danger, intrigue, lust and attraction, all at the forefront of a terrible curse. Definitely looking forward to the sequel!

I really loved this story of a female shifter who does not know she is one. Wow the plot twists and betrayals. I ha e been a fan of Eve Vaughn’s work for some time and I have been overwhelmed with reading which I love. This was refreshing on the shifter genre. I can’t wait to read the whole series and catch up on some books of this author’s work. Excellent story.
