The Dallas SWAT
team had gathered at a dinner to honor some of its members
when the scent of a female shifter distracts Max Lowry, but
there's something unusual about her smell. Max goes looking
for her, starts talking to her, and she is as nice as she is
pretty; they hit it off right away. Max actually likes the
idea of a true soul mate; is she the one? But either Lana
doesn't want to acknowledge that she is a shifter, or she
doesn't know? The biggest problem though is that Lana
Mason's father is the Chief Deputy of the Dallas PD, and he
hates Max's guts!
Max and Lana are so cute together, it's a sin! They talk,
they date, they don't jump each other's bones upon
meeting; they act like any normal couple! Max and Lana also
have terrific backstories, and although Ms. Tyler dwells
quite a bit on their pasts and their falling in love, I
didn't mind one bit because theirs is such a sweet romance,
and it felt genuine all the way. On the other hand, an
important part of WOLF HUNGER focuses on a case of domestic
violence, which is relevant to Max but has very little to do
with our paranormal SWAT shifters. While I realize that
domestic abuse is a serious societal problem, and should be
addressed, I'm not quite sure it should have taken so many
pages of this novel. However, the issue is handled extremely
well by Paige Tyler, and I believe it will help readers who
might deal with such traumatic situations.
The first half of WOLF HUNGER is paced slower, and the
author sprinkles hints at the danger to come, as Max and
Lana get cozy. I also loved the creative way Ms. Tyler dealt
with Lana's shifter issues, most unusual and fascinating.
Things really get going in the second half, where we are
treated to some spectacular action scenes and disturbing
methods used by the dreaded shifter hunters who have upped
the ante. The dialogues are excellent, and the writing is so
smooth, and I think those are the main reasons why WOLF
HUNGER is such an easy, pleasurable read, in spite of some
ugly stuff. We still don't know precisely from where the
menace originates, but we now have a very solid clue, and it
will not be pretty! I cannot wait to see what happens next!
When SWAT Officer Max Lowry meets Lana Mason, he falls fast
and hard. He's positive she's The One. And Max's favorite
part? Lana's a wolf shifter too, so they can skip the
awkward reveal and head straight to the happily ever after.
There's just one problem: Lana doesn't know that she's a
werewolf.
To make matters worse, hunters with intent to kill have
tracked Lana to Dallas. Max has to figure out how to keep
Lana safe, show her who and what she really is―and just how
much she means to him.
