review 1: I'm so glad we get to see more of Russell in this book, and especially Dalton... I mean I loved Dalton from the first time he asked Shane for some chocolate milk all the while knowing he was safe since Trevor promised him. He's ready for some wolf action, and Russell has grown a conscience. Real Quick: Dalton is the lynx shifter that was a slave with Trevor, Shane's mate, he's been living with the two since he joined the coalition and is 19. Russell is Chris (wolf Alpha)'s brother and was kicked out the pack a long time ago for being gay. He was also beaten, and swore that he would become more successful then his old Alpha. He did this by unsavory means. He's a crook, a sort of mob boss, and has been a part of bad things in the past, however he saved Mitchell's broth... moreer from slaves and fell in love with Dalton at Chris and Cassie's wedding. Meanwhile as we all know the Ravens are becoming desperate to win the war.Ok now on to the book. I really really liked that there was some blood and guts and casualties. The Ravens are now attacking humans because they know the coalition will try to save them. Russell is really trying to get 'clean' so to speak because something in Dalton's eyes make him want to be a better man, but he's 30 (yes 30) and has a lot of bad baggage with him. There is a lot that goes on in this book, including finding the lynx female that Dalton was forced to procreate with but I won't say any more and I'll save it for the book. The only thing that felt a little odd was that Dalton was a very very very young 19. I know his family lived in seclusion, but some of the things he says reminds me of a 12 year old girl. Having said that it certainly did not detract from the story, just made me want him to grow up a bit (especially when you find out what happens at the end!). I'm also super happy the price on Amazon is $3.99 and not $4.99 while a dollar may not seem like that much, Hecht also added the freebie Hey There's Fur in my Wedding Cake where the two first meet. If you love Hecht's shifter books like I do then you'll love this one, Riley, Chance, Tobias, Shane, Trevor... they all get a roll, we also get to see Gage and his future mate...AH! I can't wait. So read up, enjoy the lower price and let's hope for many more shifter books in the future... Maybe some more Shane/Andrew/Owen?? Another Christmas special?? : - ) Enjoy!
review 2: This formulaic story pales compared to the previous book (Thomas and Chance). I think a couple of issues are just solved too quickly or are not explored more thoroughly. Most especially regarding Russell's "involvement" on the murder of Dalton's family as well as how they work on that. There's practically no real confrontation or heart to heart talk. It's there then poof all is forgiven. Russel's regret of his past is also not explored, I think there is a good plot there, some sort a glimpse of his past. Oh, and Dalton is also not as endearing for me personally, compared to Chance, for example.PS: What's with all the talks of Ke$ha in so many of these stories?!? less
