Publisher's summary

Division Chief Seraphine Thomas knows that progress isn’t made without sacrifices. Their side has lost people, and the cost to her own life is sometimes too high.
But now that the political climate for supes shifts widely back the wrong way, everyone is scrambling to secure the protections supes desperately need. It’s simply impossible to play a fair game when the other side cheats.
Unfortunately, that’s not the only thing weighing on her, and she’s being pulled in too many directions at once. Something the new division chief of the regular office tries to take advantage of constantly while lying he’s responsible for her work.
Plus, she’s having trouble settling with the bomber case she recently worked. There are too many similarities between her and the bomber and that pulls her back into her past in a way she knows she can’t ignore.
At least she’s taking some time off to attend the next APA event and putting her needs first by driving there. Visiting Vegas a second time couldn’t possibly be as crazy as the first time, right?

Seraphine Thomas is a crime series filled with Chicago attitude and a strong heroine that pushes what most would think a female lead capable of, along with the heat being involved with several men brings while trying to figure out what she wants.

*This book is part of a series and cannot be read as a standalone. Like all my books, this is not light and fluffy and includes dark themes and events some may find triggering. Reader discretion is advised.

5 Crazy Old Vampire Says What Now? Stars

Growing Alpha is the thirteenth book in the Seraphine Thomas series by Erin R. Flynn.

I really enjoyed this book. I have been waiting, practically with bated breath, for Sera and Axel to more firmly confirm their feelings for each other. And to delve deeper into his backstory. Seeing how far he has progressed since we first met him, and to learn the horrors he has faced through his long life, has added a new appreciation for this character for me. But Axel will always be a favorite character of mine. I mean, a cuddly tiger shifter? Yes, please.

This new trip to Vegas while almost equally as corrupt and trying as her first was by far more entertaining. I think I enjoyed this book more because there weren't as many overly sexualized scenes. But did get to delve into the continuing corruption of the law enforcement throughout the US. Which for this literary world is sad, given the US is considered progressive for supe treatment.

I love her chosen family, found in the arms of the Dorcus ruling shifter line. I adore Eva and Alena's protective and loving treatment. But, I truly enjoyed meeting Zeno's younger brother. He reminded me of Sera with how honest and to the point he was. I believe they have similar moral compasses and personalities. While he doesn't face the childhood, and darkness she fights within herself, he has tasted a certain air of neglect and I think that can lead to people being more understanding of others pain.

That scene where all of the women of her pack gathered to greet the women Sera recently saved when they arrived was so strong. I was surprised that it was such a short footnote, but so poignant in those few words.

I'm seriously wondering how many books it will take for this series to reach a satisfying conclusion. There is still so much that Sera needs to resolve before it will feel as if she has succeeded and can settle into a future she deserves... At just this point in time she still has to finish taking down Murray, there's the Bolivian plan, other issues in South America, this new and evil president, and the very obvious corruption still with FBI so probably also more law enforcement offices, and then the myriad of criminals she will have to catch, and then the victims and overlooked that she will fight to save....

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
