I came across Blind Wolf a while ago and even though I really wanted to read it, I refuse to buy pieces of a story that will eventually make up a whole book. As soon as I saw that all of the stories were released as a boxed set and at a special price of .99 I immediately purchased it.We start off with Blind Wolf and IMO if the author had tied up a few loose ends in this story, it would have been great as a standalone with a HEA ending. In Blind Wolf, Damien and Julia meet and have an instant connection. Despite their differences and a few obstacles, they decide to be together. We see this connection continue in Perfect Mate and at the end of that story, the Alpha and his mate have a bonding ceremony and vow to be together forever. Loved it!Things go pretty downhill from there. In Human Shifter, Julia starts to have way too many insecurities and doubts about herself and her relationship with Damien. After the twist that was introduced in Perfect Mate, Julia is now unhappy and doesn't know if even their connection can hold them together. This bothered me alot! When she thought she was a human, she accepted Damien as her mate for the rest of her life despite their differences. She was in love, she was happy. Now she's miserable and lonely. I no longer felt the connection between them. For the most part, I still felt the disconnect in Alpha's Child. The lies and the fighting continued. The conversation that Julia had with Mara made it even worse for me. I still can't figure out if Julia was just trying to encourage Mara to move on from her past relationship or if she really was just not as in love with Damien as I thought she was. The end of Alpha's Child pretty much saved the story for me. During the fight, I was able to feel the connection between Damien and Julia again and the love between them helped save Damien.Overall, I have mixed feelings about this series. There were parts that I did not like but many that I loved. Great ending, loved the epilogue.The werewitch did actually make a comment near the end of the story which led me to believe that there may be a book in the future about the children. If so, I would read it.
