Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 12 29, 2011
Originally, I bought The Hunt, the fourth of the series, first. I read that, and instantly wanted to read the first three, even if it was out of order. Ms. Killough-Walden gifted me the compilation, and I read through the other books in one sitting.Summary:The Heat: Lily St. Claire is a southern girl who moves back to her home town. She has no idea that her friend's brother and another alpha wolf will start to fight in order to claim her as their mate.The Strip: Malcolm Cole sets his hopes on Claire St. James, a beautiful women with an amazing gift. But he is not alone in his hunt for her.The Spell: Dannai is a healer who hides the fact that she is a dormant. But when she dreams of wolves, her world is no longer the same. Lucas Caige is one of the wolves. And he will stop at nothing to get her.The Hunt: Katherine Dare, a Hunter, has wanted revenge for her father for years. She believes that Byron Caige, a man imprisoned for fifty years, is the one who killed him. But, she's his dormant. A war between Hunters, wolves, and more paranormal beings breaks out. Should Kat believe Byron? Or should she fight?What I Liked: Unfortunately for me, I read the fourth book first, and then the first, second, and third. However, I liked how I was still interested in each story, even though I knew how the first three were resolved. Each story was enthralling in its own way. My personal favorite was The Hunt. I loved Byron and Kat, and the war action that ensued. The Heat was my second favorite, because I liked the simplicity of it, as the first of a series. As each book came, the author's writing got better and more natural. Each character was unique and had a distinctive being. It was hard not to like certain characters, and to dislike others.What I Did Not Like: I personally found The Strip a little distasteful compared to the other three books. Charlie did not interest me and I could not find myself in her shoes, experiencing or believing what she felt. She seemed more flat than the other heroines. All of her "special" powers and who she was was not really convincing. The Strip was still a great read, characters aside.Would I Recommend It: Yes. Especially for only $3.99. This is a romance series, and for that reason I'd say mature upper teens and adults would highly enjoy this series.Rating: 5 stars. Ms. Killough-Walden got better and better with each book, and I will continue to read her books.This is a fabulous series! You will not be disappointed :)
