What do you do when the small town you move to turns out to be just as dangerous as the big city you left behind, but with a supernatural twist? You end up with The New Wolf by RJ Scott, the first of the promising new trilogy Building the Pack. The Bratty Omega by Stephani Hecht is the second book, and The Alpha's Own by Amber Kell is the third. The blurb does an excellent job of covering the basics, but only by reading it for yourself, will you be able to appreciate it.This gem has a smooth plot flow, and is both character and plot driven. The characters are very believable,and they DEFINITELY change over the course of the story. There's just enough of a backstory to fill in the gaps, without overwhelming you with trivia. The storyline has a solid foundation, and there are no plot holes to take away from the story. The sex is hot and passionate without being smutty, and the love between the two MCs is strong enough to withstand anything thrown at it.RJ's writing style is straightforward, eloquent, and concise. I love how she takes the same old shifter premise and gives it new life with a fresh and original twist. After a heartbreaking death and a near tragedy, the story does have a HEA ending. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book, and I'm definitely looking forward to the next one in the trilogy. If you're looking for a shifter tale that is anything but ordinary, this is the book for you.This review originally appeared at Mrs Condit & Friends Read Books
