Review: Omega Wolf Meets her Human Mate
Rating: 3 out of 5

Promising, but entirely too short and there were some parts missing for plot continuity.Readers had been waiting forMr. Red Riding Hoode (Poconos Pack)for a very long time, as the release dates had changed a couple of times.  Therefore, the anticipation built and we expected not only a smexy story, but some of the elements of suspense that were integral parts of both the Poconos Pack and Halle Shifters series.  Perhaps further development of the Gina/Chela dynamic, some flashbacks, or new threats (from old/new cronies...SOMETHING), would have balanced out the story.Chapter 2 needed editing.  It began with a scene that seemed out of place, given the nature of Graciela and Steve's relationship, at that point.  It was confusing and may have been a formatting error.Typically, Ms. Bell creates a longer buildup before the mating scenes andMr. Red Riding Hoode (Poconos Pack)would have been better served by a much slower seduction process.  It felt like the characters had met on Day One and mated by Day Two.  This was unrealistic given that Chela had guarded her heart carefully for years, and there were hints that Steve was uncomfortable, fearful or maybe ambivalent about shifters, and becoming one.  Not to mention the fact that they were strangers and had never met before this story.I hope the issues are fleshed out in subsequent editions ofMr. Red Riding Hoode (Poconos Pack), before the series moves forward.Update: Since my review was published, it was brought to my attention that a subsequent review contained some of the same phrases as mine.  While imitation is a form of flattery, plagiarizing other people's words is not.
