Followed byWolf Tracks.Available in paperback withWolf Tracks-Under the Midnight Sun.Plot:Maggie (Missy's sister) is going to see her sister on Pack Lands. After being away from any wolves for years, this is a massive emotional undertaking which only the support of her Mate Erik (Granite Lake Beta) can ease. Will Maggie learn to accept what happened in the past so she can embrace her future? Or will she let her fears once more overwhelm her?Comments:- Contemporary paranormal (wolf shifting) novella with some explicit sex.- 2325 kindle locations, 32,561 words (novella). Finishes around 2025 locations.- m/f - explicit but not frequent. Sweet and caring.- Maggie was abused in the past by her BadPack - it is gently discussed, but not too consuming. However, the previous abuse forced her to "self-abuse" - she isolated herself from Pack and refused to shift. Apparently Bad Things to do when you're a Wolf Shifter.- Picks up 2 years after Missy joined the Granite Lake Pack (Book2Wolf Flight).- While each novella stands alone, they are linked by characters and events. We meet and interact with previous heroes and heroines.- Includes excerpts fromWolf Flightby Vivian Arend,Crossroadsby Moira Rogers,Little Red and the Wolfby Alison Paige.Opinion:A really sweet ShapeShifting novella where our Hero is kind and gentle, our heroine is strong yet emotional, and together they are More. Isn't that what makes the whole Mating thing in good paranormals, well, heart-warming? Together they are More. They support, love, back, care for, and respect each other. As Jared says: "there's nothing wrong with a little good old-fashioned conversation to go along with the instant physical attraction and the lifelong chemical bond." Maggie and Erik learn to be One, and as One they can accomplish anything."Wolf Games" is a relatively short novella with an abrupt ending, but an intelligent and creative story for us to enjoy. It's A Good Book in a solid series, which leads nicely into Book4 - TJ and Pam's story. A good one to re-read.-CR-
