🎧 I listened to an audiobook version of this story narrated by Meg Sylvan who has performed the full series to-date. The emotions of suspense, victim’s terror and mated lust comes through clearly in the recording as does Vivian’s precociousness and all the males protective instincts. The story goes from action to lusty downtime and back taking the listener along for the ride. The distinct voices for the main characters made it easy to follow the story and characters.

A wild ride of hunter and lovers in this continuing wolf pack protecting their families and neighbors from evil.
