Great little short stories, but I did have a bit of a hard time placing where they fit in the grand book scheme, especially with something as big as the Christmas announcement.

All the stories in Thrown to the Wolves take place before the the big final battle in Over The Moon. These short stories are all part of the Black Dog Universe. Fans of the Black Dog, Gemini, & Lorimar Pack will enjoy dropping back into the world and see their favorite characters again.
Thrown To The Wolves - 3 Stars
Here we get a deeper look into Zed, wolf in the Lorimar Pack and Jo, a human in town. We learning some interesting things about Jo and her Aunt and get to see Zed happy.
Out For Blood - 3 Stars
Here we get to see Lema a dhampir, a Marshal, and a character we meet in the Gemini series who was sent into the mental institute and is now out and back to work as a Marshal. We learn a little more about her heritage. Here we see a young coworker who has taken an interest in her and wants more then just a working relationship. These two are brought together; because of a murder investigation.
The Bakers Grimm - 3.5 Stars
A Fae and a Witch. Their family have been competitors for years. They both are backers and have shops next to each other, but in this tail the children come together and it's a Fairy Tale ending.
A Stone's Throw Christmas - 3.5 Stars
Graeson & Camille from the Gemini series celebrate Christmas with the pack and a few surprises are revealed. It was nice to see the Lorimar Pack again. It's a sweet holiday short story.
Dog Days of Summer - 4 Stars
Dog Days of Summer takes place between Dog with a Bone & Heir of the Dog. It's a fast-paced action packed novella. I devoured this adventure from the first to last page.
In this one Thierry is still very young and not very experienced at being a Marshall yet, so the cases she can choose are limited. We get to see Thierry in action, doing her thing to find a missing chicken thing, help Shaw find a kidnapped or missing boy and find a rogue Warg; before things get way out of hand.
The Black Dog, Gemini, & Lormair series are fabulously fun and entertaining. The world is vast and the characters are fascinating. Those that love Urban Fantasy's should give this world a try.

Overall, I found the collection to be a great addition to the Black Dog Universe, especially with establishing cozy romances for side characters.

Thrown to the Wolves
Rating: ★★★★☆
Tags: shifters, fae, magic
This is a short story set after Promise the Moon and Wolf at the Door as it's about a little romance between Joanne and Zed after. I really enjoyed reading about new fae species and Zed getting his chance at second romance.

Out for Blood
Rating: ★★★★☆
Tags: detective, vampires, fae, elves
This short story takes place sometime after Hell or High Water as it follows Agent Hayes after she finally leaves the mental institution she was placed in as a consequence of her experience with Charybdis in the original Gemini trilogy. It's a super cute romance between Agent Hayes and fellow Agent Jones as they try to track down a paranormal murdering humans in the region. We finally learn some more about vampires in the Black Dog universe, a species that hasn't been brought up much in any of the main series so far.

Dog Days of Summer
Rating: ★★★☆☆
Tags: detective, hunter, shifters, fae
This short story followed the FMC Thierry and her boyfriend/partner Shaw as they looked for a missing half-warg child and a neighbor's cockatrice. It was a quick short mystery, but it wasn't super complex or developed any characters or relationships very deeply.

A Stone's Throw Christmas
Rating: ★★★★☆
Tags: shifters, fae, magic
A cute Christmas story about the Lorimar Pack with Graemar and Camille that appears to take place after all the events in Over the Moon since Dell and Isaac are together and Enzo is mentioned as the pack witch. It was an adorable scene, and a nice conclusion for the whole universe.
