This is the second book in Patricia Briggs Sianim series. Loved every minute of it and hope she writes more with Aralorn and Wolf. They are a wonderful pair. As with all Briggs books, wonderful mains and secondary's a world that works very well. Great plot. Can't ask for more.

Pleasant read, with redemption and good triumphing over evil. Ends with a set up for another book, which sometimes gets tiresome, but worth reading once.

It kind of feels that this series is wrapped up with this instalment.
Not much to say about it besides I enjoyed it and it was a nice wrap up of loose ends (if that's what it is).

Aralorn returns home for her father's funeral only to find him ensorcelled, not dead.
Though the fourth in the series, Wolfsbane takes place a few months after the events in Masques. The two are the only ones in the Sianim series thus far to have Aralorn and Wolf as the main characters. There are no spoilers that I noticed for books two and three.
This book was by far my favorite of the series. In the introduction, the author mentions wanting to give the characters a story that did them justice, and she definitely has done that. It's fun, fast paced, and unexpectedly sweet.

Not bad. I think I prefer the books dealing w/ Aralorn & Wolf in this series. She's written a couple of additional books set in this particular world, and while decent, I like the continuity of the characters & their story lines. If you're already a fan of Patricia Briggs, it's worth picking up & reading.

I liked this one better than the first. I also felt like their adventures might not be over.

My review and an extended sample of the audiobook are posted at Hotlistens.com.
I continued to have a lot of fun with this early work from Patricia Briggs. Aralorn and Wolf are really enjoyable characters and I can’t help but love my time with them.
The book starts with an introduction from Briggs explaining that she wrote this book with the intention of it never being released. The first book, Masque, didn’t have a lot of success and she thought her writing career was done, so she continued the story of Aralorn just for her own amusement. This was still a really great story and just shows what a great storyteller she is.
Wolfsbane starts off with Aralorn on her way home for her father’s funeral. She hasn’t been home in many years and really hasn’t kept up with her family. Her father’s death has made it where she needs to return home to mourn with her family. Wolf is not with her. He is on one of his trips without her. He likes to go away for a while to try to keep him from becoming attached, but it isn’t working. They are both very attached.
I really liked seeing Aralorn’s family. They are an interesting bunch. They also seem to accept that Aralorn is different from the rest of the family. She never would’ve been able to put on dresses and be the socialite like other members of the family. It is the reason she left, so that the family wouldn’t have to deal with her differences. I also liked getting to know Aralorn’s father, even if only through the eyes of others.
I don’t want to go too much into the story, so as to avoid spoilers. I will just say that I will miss my time with Aralorn and Wolf. They are two really great characters. I would love to see more stories with them.
Narration
Katherine Kellgren is a great narrator who really takes this story to the next level. I love all of her voices and she really brings out the scene, no matter if it is fighting, mourning or sexy, she uses the perfect pacing and tone. I really love when Aralorn goes into telling a story. Katherine changes her tone to that of an old world storyteller. I loved these stories within the story as much as the main story.
**I'd like to thank the publisher for providing me with a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed seeing a different side to Aralorn and her Wolf. Aralorn becomes almost softer amidst her family but still is the same badass Aralorn we love.

Good Reading
I lived the characters, the story, and the fact that it didn't end dumbly. I hope there's more to come
