This was probably my least favorite one so far. I liked Izzy but Jericho is just kinda boring.

Great story

I loved this book of the Seven series. I can't wait to start the next one to continue the story of these characters!

********** Contains Spoilers**********

I’ve been a fan of Dannika Dark, and the Mageriverse that she’s created since I purchased the Mageri Series Boxed Set back in 2014. I’ve read a lot of the books from the Mageriverse multiple times since then, and never gotten around to posting a review so here goes. My favourite go to reads from the Mageriverse are Closer, Risk, Three Hours & Two Minutes. I’m currently working my way through all of Dannika’s Mageriverse, as it’s been ages since I’ve immersed myself into the thrilling, action packed and amazing universe of Immortals and Breed that she’s created. I really enjoyed this book, and thought that it was another good addition to the Seven Series. For some reason I did find that it felt a bit disjointed in places, and I’m not 100% sure why. The Jericho we meet in this book seems to be different than he was portrayed in the previous books. Yes, he still a rock star, the life of the party and a ladies man, but when he interacts with Izzy he has more serious as well tender moments.

I loved the s*xual tension between them, and their chemistry was completely off the charts, as well as hot as hell. Jericho and Izzy spent 5 years travelling together around the US, and Jericho was gigging. They were each other’s best friends/families. Izzy secretly had feelings for Jericho, and then once things started heating up between them but Izzy bailed as she knew that it would mean more to her than him. She came back to the hotel room awhile later to find a red headed women on top of him and wearing her favourite Pink Floyd top. Izzy was extremely hurt by Jericho’s actions so she left. Not long after Izzy ditched him Jericho ended up overdosing and luckily Denver made it in time to save him, but he walked in on a red headed women taking money from Jericho’s pocket while he was overdosing. Denver got Izzy’s name from the front desk and assumed that she was a heartless b*tch.

Izzy never grew up in a pack, and her parents were a cougar and a wolf who faught like cats and dogs, literally. Her siblings were all cougars, and used to terrorise her because they suspected she was a wolf and it got worse when she changed for the first time and she was a wolf. Her own mother told her that they’re just protecting themselves against a predator, which is completely horrible as Izzy was nothing but prey for her siblings. She hasn’t seen her family in about 20 years. Jericho gave her first really feeling of family until it all went to sh*t. Izzy has moved to Austin, and is living with her boyfriend Hawk. They haven’t been dating long. She’s got a waitressing job at Howlers, on her first day she finds that the new bartender not only hates her, but he’s also Jericho’s brother and that Jericho is still hot as hell as well as being in a rock band that he named after her, and still a ladies man.

Things don’t go as smoothly between them as there’s a lot of unresolved feeling from their shared past, as well as misunderstandings regarding what happened the day that Izzy split 20 years ago. Izzy and Jericho have a lot of obstacles to overcome during this book. I loved getting more Wheeler during this book. Ivy is still an extremely insightful old soul and a total treasure. I’m really looking forward to hearing more about her pass when I read her story next. I was pretty shocked seeing how protective and bada*se Jericho is when he’s protecting Izzy, as I really wasn’t expecting it. Both Izzy and Jericho went through some heavy stuff while trying to get their second chance at their happily ever after. Man, did Izzy have to put up with a lot of judgement from Jericho’s brothers. They all thought she was what nearly destroyed Jericho in the first place, but that was Jericho’s own actions that lead to his downfall. I’m looking forward to reading Ivy’s story next. I’d definitely recommend this book, series, universe and author to everyone.

Izzy Monroe gets a job at a local shifter bar being reunited with the man she could never forget, Jericho. This story is one that I appreciated because they have a history, they are both wolves in the community, and know what and who they are. Which essentially puts them on equal footing.

I'm not one to gravitate towards a story about a musician - but Jericho was fun to read about. Obviously I had to read this since it's a part of the series, but I'm also glad that I did. I like Jericho. He's one of the Cole brothers in the Weston Pack, a former famous rock star, now a local musician that tries to keep things low-key. He's not perfect, but he also shows his strength as he's really changed his life around. He came out of an addictive situation that a lot musicians deal with. Drugs, women, etc. It was all bad for him. At the root of it, he's a good guy and he proves that over and over in this book.
