The last time I got sucked into a Pack was with Quinn Loftis and her Grey Wolves series.  This series doesn't have as many main characters as it is mainly around Darcy and Mason but WOW, that does not mean that it is lacking in any way. I loved the relationship between Darcy and Mason but also the relationships of the others, Daniel, Devlin, Jasmine, Vivien and yes, even poor confused Vlad :D  Belinda is not afraid of her characters facing situations within minutes of you starting the book either.Each book is a story in itself that follows the story arc throughout.  Apparently the first book was once 3 separate novellas but I never noticed any connections as it seemed to flow seamlessly from one to another.Just a quick mention about Darcy herself.  As the main female, she has a lot to live up to or to answer for.  Sometimes the mf can be a bit too pathetic or is confident enough on her own.  For Darcy, although she is a werewolf, she is actually one of the most 'human' mf's that I have read.  She has her doubts and she will do what she thinks is the right thing to do.  She will go toe-to-toe with Mason if she is fighting for something that she believes in BUT she also has a major dollop of common sense and will not argue just for the sake of it.  She is surrounded by Alpha Males of one description (werewolf) or another (vampire) who are all determined that she remain protected.  Insofar as she understands why they are doing what they are doing, she will only allow it on her terms.  I have enjoyed every moment of 'being' Darcy as I read her story and there were just too many points for me to comment on.The Alpha Males all deserve a page at least dedicated to them but I am going to comment on one who wants to be an Alpha but is too confused over too many things to succeed right now.  I'm talking about Vlad - the vampire who doesn't know who he is.  He is young enough that he still doesn't fit inside his own body but it makes a refreshing change to read about a vampire who is insecure and will try out different costumes/attitudes to help discover himself.  Throughout the books, he is Lestat, Edward Cullen and one of the Black Dagger Brotherhood!!!  Brilliant!Overall a fantastic Pack and a story to drag you in.  You will find yourself rooting for Darcy and Mason and hoping that love can indeed overcome all obstacles.WARNING! - one warning though, if you do not like cliff hanger endings then wait until all books have been released as each one comes to a heart-stopping end.
