For some reason, Anna’s more passive character has never seemed to translate well for me, and combining her with the often stoic and reserved Charles does nothing to add any more energy to the story. I’ve had my up and down moments with the Mercy books, but overall, I’ve always enjoyed her as a character and had a fun time with those books. But how are these strangers even aware of these far and removed wolves and what do they ultimately want?Īs I said, I’ve been reading this series right alongside the Mercy Thomspon books, as Briggs seems to release one book from either series almost yearly. All seems well until the some of the more dangerous members of the pack, those so wild that they live removed from the others out in the wilderness, begin to report being pestered and attacked by strangers with powerful magical tools. This leaves Charles and Anna in charge of managing the pack back home in Montana. This story takes place directly after the events in the last Mercy Thompson book, thus Bran is still away overseas. So with that super clear and stellar intro, let’s get into it, shall we?
I’m still not even completely certain if my ultimate rating is accurate. My feelings are also all tied up because a very small moment in this book has a massive effect on not only this series, but also the Mercy Thompson series which I have been reviewing here. I’ll try to discuss that a bit in the beginning to lend some context to this review.
For one thing, I have read all of the other books in this series, but they were all before Kate and I started this blog, so the progression of my feelings for this particular series isn’t already documented.
Review: This is going to be a really challenging review to write. Now Charles and Anna must use their skills–his as enforcer, hers as peacemaker–to track down the attackers, reopening a painful chapter in the past that springs from the darkest magic of the witchborn… Heading into the mountainous wilderness, they interrupt the abduction of the wolf–but can’t stop blood from being shed. With their Alpha out of the country, Charles and Anna are on call when an SOS comes in from the fae mate of one such wildling. Close enough to the Marrok’s pack to have its support far enough away to not cause any harm. For their own good, they have been exiled to the outskirts of Aspen Creek, Montana. The werewolves too damaged to live safely among their own kind. Where Did I Get this Book: from the library!īook Description: They are the wild and the broken.
