About this listen

Out of the frying pan and into the fire, they say. Well, I'm about to learn just how true that aphorism is.

First, I have to meet a queen in hand-to-hand combat and hope I come out as the victor because only one of us will walk away from the training grounds alive.

Second, I have to try and find a way to live with the fact that three of my four mates unwittingly betrayed me.

Then there's the king, who's looking me over with a speculative eye and not just as his wife's challenger.

Most of all, there are the damn Reavers that are slowly gnawing at the edges of Strelae: killing people, burning fields, all while the capital keeps going about its business as if there's no threat looming on the horizon. Somehow, some way, the five of us have to get the king and the people to admit there's a problem. If we leave our response too late, we may not even get a chance to fight back.

I dream over and over of a pack of wolves running across the earth, swallowing, tearing, and chewing everything in their path, and I'm terrified that all of us will be next.

When we start this 2nd book in the series, we begin in the middle of a mess. In the first book, the female MC Darcy has had to learn and adjust to being newly engaged to 4 men (Shifters) whose society has them mating their true mate (one female) as a pack. She is also in a new country as a human woman (in the beginning) and oh by the way, the males that she is to mate are 4 Princes of the Realm....oh, and the current Queen wants her dead. Not to mention the fact as book one ends, she has just challenged the current Queen (the one who wants her dead) to a duel....to the death. So, there is that.

What I really liked about this series is that even though it is a RH, there is never any rush. Each of the men are completely different - character wise- with their own strengths and personalities. They have each told her that they are going to wait until SHE is the one who wants to come to them to proceed with their relationship. The guys are all amazing guys.

Back to the Queen. It also becomes apparent that things are not well in the kingdom. Darcy has been undergoing many, many changes and she is trying to cope with who she is becoming. She has also been training with the women protector group (can't think of the name right now) and it is also becoming apparent that there is even more to Darcy than meets the eye.

There is unrest in the realm and the King and Queen could care less. It creates a great opening for the Princes to step up and try to make a difference. Unfortunately, the unrest revolves around Darcy and the princes and the new situations that everyone finds themselves in. And there is still that darn Queen.....

So - this book also ends at a point that makes you want to bang you head against a wall and just say, "WHY?" but it also sets up the next book quite nicely.

Now the wait begins for Darcy, the Wolf Queen.

Only one problem

This is a continuation of a fantasy epic with strong women and shifters that can form a hybrid version of half man half wolf for battle. The story is great and involves a battle between good and evil.

My only “con” is that even though this is set in medieval times, there are too many modern phrases and idioms used, such as referring to a “peanut gallery”, domestic terrorism and consciousness coming “back on line”, obviously a reference only used in the age of computers.
