March 19, 2013

Ebook: Cry of the Wolf, Eye of the Storm #2

Author: Dianna Hardy

Fiction, Paranormal,

I was given this ARC by the author for an honest review

This review may contain spoilers

Summary: The full moon is a week away, and although Lydia is as excited as it gets to run as a wolf for the first time, she is also fighting to keep her independence while trying to understand her role in the lives of the three males that have come to rule hers: compassionate, tender Taylor; impetuous, fun-loving Ryan and distant, cold Lawrence.

There's also a fourth man in Lydia's life. Brendan, her previous "friend with benefits", is tirelessly searching for her. He's about to uncover things that should be kept hidden.

However, the testosterone surrounding her is the last thing she should be worrying about. Her family bear truths about her heritage she's not ready to face ... she may not have a choice, because the greatest danger to them all comes from within. The past never stays buried for long, and among the shadows of their species it is rising with a vengeance, threatening to tear their pack apart for good.

Notes: Book two of a series - it is highly recommended that book one be read first. This is an adult, paranormal fantasy short novel (over 55,000 words) containing scenes of explicit sexual content and some violence, entwined with romantic elements.

The Review

Yowzer, How super excited was I to get my greedy little mitts on this copy, I couldn’t wait to get stuck in and I didn’t, I started it straight away, I really loved the first book in this series, Releasing the Wolf, so could not believe it when the author sent me this ARC, It has felt like I have waited so long for this one, but it hasn’t really been that long, still it was definitely worth waiting for, I couldn’t put it down, it had all the characters I fell in love with in the first book, Taylor, Ryan and Lawrence, not forgetting our main female lead, Lydia, this book was more in depth with the relationship between the four, I will not give you any spoilers if I can help it, but it does delve into each separate relationship that Lydia has with each of them, along with their relationship together as a group, as usual from this author, The plotline was awesome, I would give the raunchy stuff a 5 out of 5 too, We also have the baddie from book 1, Amil, but he is really growing on me in a weird way, talking of which, the action was great, I was kept on the edge of my seat with this one, we also meet some new characters, one of which freaked me out abit, I won’t say who, you will have to read it, to see what I mean, Let me know who you think I meant, when you have read it. This book will not be out until around the 18^th April 2013, I recommend you get it, but Please make sure you have read the first book first, it’s called Releasing the Wolf, You will need to read it, to understand what is going on with Lydia and the pack, I will post links for you at the end of this post to releasing the Wolf, I didn’t want this book to end, but now I am looking forward to Book 3 coming in December 2013 in a really big way, I would give this one 5/5, put it in your wish list, I will be having a giveaway for an ebook copy of this one when it comes out, so Please come back and visit around the 18^th April 2013.
