review: I read this book out of order and so not having read the previous books I hope I didn't miss too much. I suspect I will go back and read them as I liked this book. A special unit was formed and the agents had different psychic abilities. I enjoyed the fast paced mystery.

Review:
I'm so sad this series is done. I really enjoyed reading this and Eli and Casey's story was bittersweet to finish on.
This series and the phoenix pack series have been my favourites to read over the years and its a shame to not have any more to look forward to.

Review: Interesting and fun read. This is the second book I've read recently about a special task force (different series) with different paranormal abilities to help solve murder cases. I think I preferred this one more because of the hot, steamy sex scenes and both main characters were more relatable. Male mc is a wolf shifter which is fun but doesn't take over the story. Looking forward to reading more in this series.

I'm thinking that the plural of wolf will also work?

This was pretty good.
The story flowed well and I found myself slipping into this story easily.
Curious to see how this progresses.

Review:
I love that even JA's half books in this series are full stories. Wolf shifter Ellison Rowe has had his eye on human Maria for quite some time, but she escaped from an abusive situation with feral shifters and hasn't been in the head space for another relationship. When a plot comes to life to kidnap young shifters, the two get involved and Maria realizes she is attracted to Ellison. There was plenty of action in this book as well as time with Olaf, the polar bear shifter cub (so cute!)

Review: Well this wasn't I was expecting at all from the cover. I didn't really like Kitty at all at first. She was wimpy and I just couldn't get into her whole radio show gig. And then she starts to grow a pair, but ends up running away after all. It was a major letdown. I won't be reading any more in this series.

I'm working on book 6, anyone reading for book 7 and 8?
I just picked up Laura's read, Wolf Protector. It looks good and it's free on KU.

Review: Great read. I really enjoyed the sparks between Erica and Trent, they made a great couple. The serial killer part of the story was pretty gruesome, and it was awful seeing how it affected Erica each time. Pretty exciting read overall.

review: I liked book 2 as much as book 1. Lots of sexy scenes and the murder was interesting and had a tiny twist that I didn't see. I like finding out each person's special ability

This was an entertaining shifter story. Zack Sheridan and his pack show up in Sara Morrighan's small Texas town, and her life is turned upside down. Sara was raised by her grandmother and was never told she's a shifter. As she starts to experience things she doesn't understand, Zack is there to help her, as well as to fight off the lion shifters out to get Sara. Sara was hilarious - there were so many funny lines that came out of her mouth.

Review:
This was a decent read.
I liked the MC story but I must admit I was close to DNF this book not because it was bad but I wasn't in the mood for the twist and her doing something bad etc. Just wasn't there for that but I pushed through it and it wasn't too bad.
Enjoyed this romance and looking forward to the next.
