"Wolves and vampires face off in the Arctic Circle"

Fresh Fiction Review

This paranormal mixes up the supernatural beings as wolves and vampires and a bit of both hide out in the Arctic Circle. The characters are Levi, Ian and Darius who have already appeared in two books of the Tooth And Claw series and by now are a unit. All three are vampires but confusingly both Levi and Darius are also werewolves. If they bite a person to feed the vampire, the person will turn into a werewolf. The only hope is to find a willing wolf shifter who will allow them to snack. I have to say I started wondering if the wolf would turn into a vampire. But I'm all in favour of giving characters challenges and I wanted to see how long it would take before Ian was a wolf too. THE UNITED AND THE DIVIDED takes up straight after a previous adventure so the guys are hiding in a boat recovering from wounds and avoiding sunlight. The local villagers on Sitka Island are all wolves and not pleased to think they have vampire guests. However an elderly lady who is respected intercedes for the trio and at least this gives them a chance to explain their position. The narrator changes between chapters which can be a little confusing. Darius has been a vampire for half a century but lately he's made a string of enemies, all wolves. With difficulty they come to an understanding with the wolf pack, but how long will it last? THE UNITED AND THE DIVIDED includes drinking blood and an ongoing strong, loving gay relationship between the three vampire men. For adult readers only then, with strong language, action, violence and the odd Molotov cocktail just when you thought you could relax.

SUMMARY

Where do you run when there’s nowhere left to go? Tooth & Claw, Book 3 Levi, Darius and Ian are on the run, but Levi’s wolf clan is the least of their problems. Levi’s now part vampire. Darius, a vampire for the last half century, is now part wolf. They have to feed on blood, but a bite will turn a human to a wolf. They’re left with only one option: find a group of wolves to live amongst…which is a challenge when the wolves want them dead. Finally, on a remote island off the coast of Alaska, they find a small community willing to let them stay, at least for the time being. The decision isn’t unanimous, though. Some are willing to destroy their own village to see them gone, and only at great risk do the three convince the townsfolk to lay down their Molotov cocktails. Yet just as the trio begins to trust they’ve at last found peace, one of the clan Elders learns that the island wolves are harboring them. And he’s going to make sure Levi, Darius and Ian fry under the deadly Alaskan sun. Warning: Contains a vampire and two vampire-wolves who are seriously over all this running around stuff. Also lots of bullets and fur flying, but you’d better believe the boys still find time to burn up the sheets.
