Review: The Granite Lake Wolves



First of all...can I get an Amen for www.goodreads.com? I never would have found this series without the goodness that is Goodreads.

Now that I got that out of the way, let's talk about some wolves, shall we? This is a short, five story series. (I know the picture only shows three of the books...Google doesn't always give you what you want).

This series focuses on a pack of wolves that reside at Granite Lake. There are your typical wolves actions: hot sexy men that can change into wolves, super scent noses, lifetime mates and super hot wolf sex.

As a reader, I have certain expectations for a story. If the story is short then I expect quick character development, quick feelings of love and quick hot sex. This author delivers on all my expectations. High five to Vivian Arend.

If you are looking for some quick reads about some hot wolves then check this series out.

The stories are:
  1. Wolf Signs (the lead female is deaf. How cool is that???)
  2. Wolf Flight
  3. First Howl (this is a super duper short story...it barely counts)
  4. Wolf Games
  5. Wolf Tracks (my favorite of the series)
My overall rating: 4.25 hot sexy wolf stars!

Review: Deeper Than Midnight by Lara Adrian

Deeper than Midnight is the ninth book in the Midnight Breed series by Lara Adrian.

If you have not read this series then what in the hell is wrong with you? Walk, no RUN and get these books immediately!

This book pics RIGHT up where we left off with Brock and this time the focus is on Hunter. In the last book, Brock had saved Corinne after over seventy-five years of abuse she suffered under Dragos. Corinne wants nothing more than to go home and see her family and start learning how to live her life. Hunter, the former weapon owned by Dragos, has volunteered to take her back to her family.

Hunter is drawn to Corinne, which is surprising because Hunter has never "felt" before. He was trained to only be an assassin. No feelings. No emotions. NADA. Watching Hunter struggle with his emotions and feelings was an interesting read. I will say, I was surprised with how quickly the two of them realized their feelings for each other. I would have appreciated more relationship development in that area. I'm still left with the question of why they really liked each other.

This story also focused on Chase. While Chase's story is critical to Deeper than Midnight, and his story is next in this series, dammit, I wanted more Hunter!

The ending of this book left me with a, "oh no she didn't just cliffhanger me!" feeling, I still highly recommend it. I also recommend getting a calendar to mark off the days when the next book comes out.

Vhampy's rating: 4.75 hot vampire stars!
