►SYNOPSIS◄
Pack Leaders who were allies
at the time of the Vikings, had rings made to remind them of who they were and
what they stood for. Weremen of peace, justice and loyalty. We try to stand by
that principle.
After the attempt on Nik's
life, he and Jaz leave Deer Creek to escape the dangers and judgements on both
their heads. But many are determined to find them and drag them back.
Curs are creeping out of the
woodwork and making themselves known by the increase of deaths, kidnappings and
rapes but it seems the Head Council are looking the other way.
Jaz and Nik put their
differences aside to begin her training in self-defence and controlling her
ability to Change. Jaz allows herself to trust him again despite their rocky
start, and in doing so, she soon understands the true reasons behind his past
actions.
Things aren't what they seem.
Packs are stirring, enemies
are coming out to play, humans will be caught in the crossfire, hybrid Weres
must fight for their survival and sides must be picked.
Which side are you on?
►MY REVIEW◄
WOW....
This book is intense, action-packed and full of all kinds of twists, turns and
complete surprises. I cannot say how much I am enjoying this very detailed,
unique and suspenseful take on the werewolf genre!
Book 2 pretty much immediately starts off where book 1 ended. After a complicated and horror filled duel gone wrong between Kain and Nik and Jaz exposing herself as a hybrid Were. No one is safe and all kinds of chaos is about to hit the fan. With Nik on the run to protect Jaz the pack is under the tyrannical rule of Swain, Nik's disloyal brother. As more secrets are revealed and new faces come into play, Jaz will have to place her trust and faith in Nik and finally accept who she is and what she is capable of.
There is alot happening in this book and while I was a little confused by the abundance of characters in book 1; book 2 provides you with more insight, background and history surrounding those characters building a better connection for the reader and a story that flows both flawlessly and effortlessly.
I love the political nature of the plot, the rawness and ruthlessness of the Were culture that Green creates and the emotions that run deep throughout this story. Jaz is an amazing alpha female character. She is tough, smart, capable and compassionate. She defends those she loves on pure instinct and it is quite a formidable force. I love both the undeniable connection and tense attraction between her and Nik, it ripples through the pages like a tsunami waiting to explode and it compounds the plot that much more. Its not just the secrets and conspiracies or the action that add to the suspense of this story its also the romance. Its the building and build up of Nik and Jaz's relationship which coincides with Jaz's acceptance of who she is.
I absolutely adore this series, its both exciting and refreshing and CANNOT wait for book 3!!!

BEASTHOOD

Series)
Genre: Dark Fantasy, Paranormal
Romance
Pages: 390
►SYNOPSIS◄
The bloody, raw meat was tantalizing her;
calling to her. She hated it and yearned for it all at once.
Stop, she ordered. What are you doing?!
So hungryyyyy, snarled a primal voice deep
within her.
Don’t you dare! she screamed back.
But the primal hunger ignored her pleas and
took over her body, forcing her rational voice deep within the crevices of her
mind.
What would you do if you
discovered you weren't human? That you turned into a bloodthirsty monster
against your will?
What if your instincts,
emotions and desires were torn between your own and the dark, dangerous animal
lurking inside of you?
If it could make you yearn
for someone you shouldn't, make you say and act in ways you wouldn't and
overwhelm your whole existence?
If everything you'd ever
known about your life was a lie?
In a world where a deeply
hidden community is swathed in mystery, deadly secrets, betrayal and murder,
Jaz Barker struggles to fight against the dangerous Beast within her and the
emotions and desires it thrusts her way.
When tensions ride high and
people she cares about are put in danger, she will have to decide how much of
her newly awakened animal-side she's willing to let in.
And if it is worth the risk…
