This is book three of the series and I do hope there is another book to come.
I have read some reviews that criticize the writing style of this book, but I have to say it is exactly what draws me to this series.
I read this book in an afternoon, I found the storyline interesting and of the three it was my favorite.
ok, so I liked the story line and everything. I have read all the books up until this point and after i finished this book, I was so upset. I didn't understand why the author just killed off Chase!!! Like seriously! You can't just kill off the main character's boyfriend/mate! You just can't do that. Otherwise, I thought the book was well written I love the story line as well.
4.5 stars. This series just keeps getting better and better. And even more mysteries are introduced, that Callum cannot even foresee. Although the ones that he can see are much, much worse. And the fact that he doesn't say anything about them... I think I would hate to have the knowledge of what is going to happen in the future, and not be able to say anything because it would change things drastically in a way that could be worse. This is a book where no one is safe, even an important character. And I applaud Barnes for having the guys to do what needed to be done. It was just so heartbreaking to read. I am going to be chomping at the bit for the next book.
here’s the issue: i really, really wanted to like this book. in fact, i was extremely excited to read Taken by Storm, but i DNFd around 100 pages. unfortunately, this series was super tedious, and i felt like i was reading the same thing over and over again.
i’m sure at some point i will return to this book and give it another shot.

This ending took everything that was great about the first one and threw it down a 1,000 story window. I'd been hoarding this book series for 10 years, wanting to eventually read the entire seriies and I finally did. I loved the first book, but this hurt me on a different level. I wish I could go back in time and stop myself.
REVIEW: http://theliteraturelion.blogspot.com/2012/07/series-selection-2.html
This was part of the Series Selection post in which I do mini-reviews for books that are a part of a series.
This novel really dug deep for me! There were times when I was reading where I thought that if I really wanted to that I could just cry and let it all out. It was an emotional journey, and the ending was just... woah. I cannot wait for the next novel to see what happens to these awesome characters!

This is a perfect novel IF there ends up being a fourth book. This is because the book ends literally with our heroine in the act of a life changing event. "Taken by Storm" ties up a ton of other story lines which is satisfying and heartbreaking in turn but the story still doesn't feel complete. It feels like a game changer (or shall I say, a series changer) but in no way, shape or form does this feel like a series finale.
Bryn and her pack must find a ex pack member who may be involved with some grisly murders taking place across different pack lines. They want to get to Maddie before another pack does. I almost can't say another thing about the plot because it sounds so simple but it is anything but. This was such a well written and intriguing book. Ms. Barnes doesn't take the easy route. She made some tough decisions and puts her characters through pain and heartbreak. The resolution to the Shay storyline and what it means for his brother Devon was completely amazing. I couldn't believe how well thought out and thrilled I was with the way the good guys pulled off a win in this piece of the story.
There was a shocking death I would NEVER have predicted. I was bothered by this but apparently not as much as many fans. I think it could be a great transitional point if this series continues. I really hope it does continue. For all the wonderful YA books out there, this series may be among the best. If there is not another story than I can't say I am happy with this book because the story will feel so incomplete and darn it, the series shouldn't be allowed to end with Bryn so unhappy.

This is by far the best werewolf novel I have EVER read. Unlike most supernatural books, this was all about the romance. I love how exact the wolf behavior is in this novel. You can tell that Jennifer Lynn Barnes studied animal behavior. Great book!!
