Wicked Wolf by Carrie Ann Ryan
4.0
To start with I have to admit that I had never read this authors work until now and I worried that this being book 8 in the series I would be totally lost. I was pleasantly surprised to find that while I knew I was missing pieces of the entire story I was never lost or never felt like I needed to stop reading before I ruined myself for all the books that came before this one. This is exactly how a novella in an anthology should be written. It gives new readers like me the story they are looking for with out leaving us confused and hooking us on a new series and it gives fans of the series what they are looking for which is another part of the tale, movement forward for books to come.
Quinn and Gina, members of different packs have been thrown together to form a council made up of members from the two packs in hopes of bringing the packs together as the fear of upcoming war looms.
The tensions between Quinn and Gina starts right from their first meeting and they hook you right away. I had all the feels with these two, love, hate, angst, fear, sorrow....it was all there. Were there times I wanted to throttle each of them, sure, but when can't I say that about a book? The majority of the time I spent getting invested in their emotions (especially when it came to Quinn's Son) and in the Redwood pack series in general.
One of my favorite things about this story was simply Gina and that is saying a lot because I am often left wanting to pull the hair out of most heroines heads, ha. Gina is a strong, sassy, independent, family oriented woman who isn't going to put up with anyone's crap, especially Quinns. I adored her connection to her family and how they all rally behind each other in times of need but know when to step back and let each person handle life on their own. I think that may be the biggest draw to the Redwood pack series for me, these family relationships. They are the kind of relationship we all wish we had with our loved ones and Gina's brothers totally made me melt in a puddle, a bunch of stinking sweethearts is what they are and I just know they are going to have some awesome stories in the future...ladies watch out for those Jamenson boys!
Sufficed to say I have a new series to dive into and if you are a paranormal romance fan like me I hope you will check this one out as well as all the other 1001 Dark Night Novellas!
