I recieved a copy from voracious readers in exchange for my honest review.
Shadow Pack by Marc Daniel is a great shifter book. It contains multi P.o.v.s and it is action packed from the first page.
It does contain 165 chapters but dont let that put you off. The chapters introduce new characters and are filled with action and suspense. The chapters are rather short aswell.
Give this book a try if you like shifter books
Park Ranger Michael Biorn lives an idyllic life in Yellowstone Park, as far from civilization and modern troubles as possible. However, Michael has a secret. When Chief Deputy Mark Sullivan of the Harris County Sheriff Department is found torn apart, along with his Rottweilers, it is obvious that they were killed by an animal of some sort. However, this animal doesn’t seem to be anything that has been seen before, at least not in Houston Texas. Because Michael Biorn is an expert on animals of all types, he is called to Houston to identify the animal. More killings take place and Michael uses his preternatural abilities to track whoever or whatever is responsible. As the book progresses, we are introduced to the Russian mob, and a pack of werewolves; both of whom seem to have a part to play in the apparent murders of high ranking law enforcement officers. This book will keep you hooked as the action and suspense build up to an exciting conclusion. The protagonist, Michael Biorn, is well drawn and proves to be a likable, although unusual hero. The book is well written with short, snappy chapters. This book will appeal to you if you like crime dramas or supernatural tales. I would highly recommend it.
A series of grisly deaths. Cops killed at home and it appears to be some sort of animal, a big animal. Michael Biorn is called in to help with the investigation. To most people he is a forest ranger but to those who truly know him he is a berserker, a Viking and very old. He has many skills and begins the investigation with the focus on werwolves
This is a very complex storyline with many different sectors of the criminal world, paranormals and law enforcement. It is full of twists, turns and surprises that make the story action-packed.
The main character is interesting and it takes intellect, cunning, and persistence to sort through everything that is going on. It is a very creative book and realistic in that some characters are hurt, killed or changed. If you like paranormal thriller that are more on the graphic side rather than cozy side, you will like this book.

A heart-thumping adventure of a story! I’m not usually a big fan of short chapters but they were very effective in this book. Michael is an enigmatic, complex character who you learn about piecemeal as the story progresses. The mystery itself had enough twists and turns to keep any puzzle junkie happy and a gut punch ending. I received an advance copy of this book and voluntarily left a review.
I loved this book. After the murder of a police officer, an expert is brought in by one of the detectives investigating the murder. The expert is Michael Biorn who is an expert on wolves. He was brought in because he was in the Marines with the detective. Something strange is going on and more murders occur that appear to be committed by wolves, including the police detective Steve Harrington and his wife. Then Steve’s daughter goes missing and more murders happen. This is a paranormal mystery where the main character Michael has some praeternatural connections. There are wizards, shifters, the mob and bullets flying. The action is incredible and the many disparate story lines all come together in the end. I can’t wait to read the next in this series. A fun, easy to read murder mystery.

Other authors have written werewolf stories or police procedurals; others have written police procedurals including werewolves. Very few write police procedurals including werewolves in such an intriguing and engaging manner that the reader gets lost in the action, living the story with the characters and cannot put the book down. Moreover, the world that the author created is carefully detailed and consistent, yet allows for human `error`and impulse. This kind of writing I usually see in epic fantasy like George R.R. Martin`s work. I am looking forward to book 2.

I had almost given up on finding a good shifter book that was not full of foul language, unneeded graphic sex and violence that had nothing to do with the story. This was not only a good mystery but also a good were-person story. I really enjoyed it.
This was a good read. The story was well written and the characters as well. I found the storyline interesting and it kept my attention. I would recommend reading.

DNF at 48%. I couldn’t finish this book. I did not care for the multi-point of views. Every single character has some chapters in this book, and there is a ton of chapters, and for me that took away from the quality of the book. I did not one star this because it has a very interesting storyline but seems extremely long and drawn out. I just wanted to get to the point already. The beginning makes this big mystery out of what Michael is and when its finally revealed it’s like it’s no big deal. I didn’t care for any of the characters at all.
