Wolf Tales VIII
The shapeshifting Chanku welcome new members to the pack in “a searing erotic tale that will send your senses reeling” (Cheyenne McCray, New York Times bestselling author). In the shadows they transform into beasts possessed of boundless sexual energy, with the strength and stamina to indulge every primal urge. Now, six new Chanku have appeared—bold, brash, and very much in need of their elders’ wisdom. It is decided to split the young three will travel to Montana to learn from Anton Cheval, and three to Colorado to be mentored by Ulrich Mason and his mate, Millie . . . Having weathered a series of vicious attacks, the Montana pack welcomes the distraction of breaking in the novices. But everything changes with the arrival of a mysterious stranger whose connection to Millie will bring the she-wolf, her partner, and their protégés—including Matt, the sensitive alpha Millie has brought to his sexual peak—to Montana. The time has come for Millie to confront her past, even as the young Chanku prepare for a future of power, pride, and pure pleasure . . .Praise for Kate Douglas and the Wolf Tales “Definitely NOT for the timid reader . . .

People really seem to love these books. And yes, they have really hot erotic sex, but this was just over the top for me. I was fine with all sex, but the sex while shifted thing was just too much... I'm just not quite sure what to do with that. For me, that is just too "sex with an animal"...no thank you.
I'm surprised I didn't find that mentioned anywhere in discussions of this series. Perhaps I’m the only one bothered by that. I am actually hesitant now to buy shape shifting erotica. I have started seeing warnings referring to this on book descriptions, which is nice, that is definitely something I would like to know ahead of time.

This is enjoyable. I felt like I was missing something, so maybe it's because I haven't read all the others in this line.

It’s been forever since I first read of Anton and Stefan! Such a different take on shifting and sexuality; a really unique voice and point of view.
This book focuses on the two main packs - Anton’s in Montana, and Ulrich’s in Colorado (although it should really be Keisha with Anton and Mille with Ulrich). The grasses Keisha planted in Golden Gate park to help future Chanku, let six people realize their heritage and find a semblance of living that embraces their full natures. And having acres of wilderness to run and play in doesn’t hurt.
The larger threat of discovery has been mitigated by the death of Milton Bosworth, but there are still the ones who followed his directives out there. The disregard for privacy and property are still a threat; given how easily Daciana Lupei infiltrated the sanctuary of Anton’s surroundings. So that knowledge is still problematic.
But there is more to come...

Just a word to the average reader, be prepared to step into a different shifter world. And, this series is so hot it should make an e-reader melt! I don't even know what abbreviations to use for the relationships in this series.
The Chanku are a lost race of shapeshifters. Slowly, the core group of Chanku is discovering other Chanku and helping them make the change to being a shapeshifter. While the books center around a couple, the rest of the pack are supporting characters.

In Kate Douglas' latest release in the Wolf Tales series, we learn about the lives of six young, new, Chanku. In the beginning of the book they are split up. Three of them go to stay with Ulrich and Millie in Colorado and the others stay with Anton Cheval and his pack in Montana. A chunk of the book takes place in Montana where there is still a fear that, after the attacks from book seven, all is not quite "right". When an intruder is discovered and identified, will the Chanku give the person time to explain the reasoning for spying on them, or will they just go ahead and kill them? In the meantime, in Colorado, who is really teaching whom more, the elders or the new youth? This book was a "growth book" for all intents and purposes, and a lot of lessons were learned by both old and new Chanku. I can't wait to see what Douglas will have in store for us with future releases in this faublous series. Highly recommended.

This one didn’t hold my attention like previous books in the series. I wasn’t really sure what the book was about. And the ending left me wondering even more. I own the rest of the series, so I will continue reading it. Plus, I like a lot of the characters, so there is that.

This book is divided into two parts. The first part I thought was a little slow, but maybe it was just me. I really enjoyed the second part. Great ending. Looking forward to the next installment!
