I adore this series. I downloaded the first book a few months back, and it sat in my Kindle until a few weeks ago when I decided it was time to try it out.
If you like paranormal action and romance at all, this will appeal to you. Its another smaller world that takes place under the surface of our own, but its real, messy, and deadly. Alexa O’brian is the protagonist, and she is very strong and capable, not needing anyone to hold her hand while she takes care of business as a hunter for hire. She is a werewolf with an extra kick of power that makes her excellent at her job.
The first book in the series shows her a little bit confused romantically, but it only leads to interesting plot development later on in the book.
We meet her at an interesting point in her life, she is happy where she is, in both her job and her acceptance of her werewolf condition. She has strong and capable friends as a reliable support network, and she’s not in the middle of any particular crisis. She gets drawn into trouble by her pack Alpha, and former lover, when he calls her one night to bail him out of jail after one of his old conquests ends up dead, and he is the prime suspect.
I think one of the things I enjoy the most about these books is that there seems to be all sorts of things going on at the same time as the main plot piece. We’re learning about where Alexa lives, what she dose during her regular time when she’s not being a kick ass huntress, and about her regular work days as well. The main story is important, and enjoyable, but the side plots don’t take away from the overall enjoyment of the story in the slightest, but enhance it.
The other thing that’s interesting and exciting for me, is the fact that the author is not only Canadian, but an Alberta resident. A story that takes place so close to where I live myself makes me incredibly giddy, and anxious to read as many of the books in this series as possible.
I’ve finished the first four books, and I’m still enjoying them.
