Review

I enjoyed the third instalment of this series, which is set in the same world as Familiar Mates. I loved a cat in the mix of wolves, and the conclusion of the storyline. Although the stories aren’t long and I read this one in an evening, they’re rich in character and world building.

I loved Cooper, and his and Kyle’s mutual instant attraction. Cooper is very much a cat, and I loved how his actions, and one particular physical difference, reflected that. I also liked seeing how good Cooper is at his job as a Coven agent.

I liked seeing characters from the previous books again, and how they’ve become a pack and found family. I liked that not all their pack are wolves, and include an ex-hunter and a witch. Not to mention Coven agents.

The showdown with the other pack was tense, and action-packed. I liked that not everyone walked away unscathed. Cooper totally rocks, and Kyle shows himself to be the leader his pack already know he is.

The conclusion is very satisfying, and I hope we haven’t seen the last of the Outcast Pack.

5 out of 5 stars.

She is an avid reader across a wide range of genres and a watcher of far too many TV series and movies, although it can be argued that there is no such thing as “too many.” These, of course, are best enjoyed with a decent cup of tea and further the continuing argument that the concept of “spare time” is really just a myth.
