A New Pack for New Year by Kiki Clark
3.5
#0.5 A New Pack for New Year: ★★★✮☆ | 3.5 stars
This is a sweet little short story that takes place about 3 years prior to the main series.
Victor escapes his abusive parents and former alpha and comes to the Kincaid pack with the help of his cousin Marcus. When he shows up at the local diner to interview for a job he meets Cole, a lion shifter, and sparks fly.
Three Thoughts:
1. I really liked the hurt/comfort aspect of this story. Victor is reeling from the trauma of his first shift, and Cole is so incredibly kind and patient with thim.
2. I loved how close Cole was to his family, and that his mom takes to Victor immediately. Victor really needed parental love and acceptance and I so glad he got it.
3. The age gap was pretty significant, but it makes sense for the story. And, I felt like it was handled well.
Though this is considered a prequel, I think it should definitely be read at least after Book 3 (when we first meet Victor) or maybe even after Book 4. I think the story will make a lot more sense once you have a better understanding of the world, and the plot of the main series.
