Loving this series. The connections and chemistry between all the characters is like a living thing. There bonds are constantly growing stronger and you crave more of the story.
The struggles that Jase and Libby go through, are all worth it. Especially how the clan and other clans to to each other’s rescue.
I enjoyed reading about Jase’s character but it was hard to get into for me. The concept was interesting but the story jumped around and it was just hard to connect with the characters themselves and their relationship.
Jase-Black Bears of Independence, Book 3
The characters are interesting and I liked reading their story
Jase has to take care of the clan’s emotions. Libby gets visions due to her connection with the Oracle and the Goddess Isis. Visions of Jase’s death gets her to fight harder to try and make them not come true. Can the visions about Pickens and his troops be stopped?
This was my least favorite of the 3 books of Black Bears of Independence. I love shifters but life is confusing enough when you throw in bears, wolves, vampires, humans, and Seer ,a goddess in the mix and I know I’m confused. I can only guess how confusing it would be to keep track of all that for the characters and the other readers. Jase seemed nice enough but Libby was getting on my nerves. I do always love a happy ending though
I think of all the three books I’ve read so far in the Black Bears of Independence series, Jase and Libby’s story is my least favorite and got on my nerves.
I’m all for an independent woman who doesn’t just give into what fate doles out for her, however, what I can’t stand is when the characters go back an forth with their feelings for over half of the book! “oh but he’s meant to be mine and I just want him so much.” “but I can’t have him, how can I trust he really wants me, how can I compare to the many women he’s already had”. —Seriously, it gets annoying reading every other page about Libby throwing Jase’s past against him.
This story seemed at odds with how the previous characters (Corbin & Cade) were previously portrayed. They constantly harped on Jase and made fun of his lack of “smoothness” with his mate and were constantly throwing up his wondering ways against him just like Libby rather than helping their Omega win his mate.
There were quite a few mistakes throughout the story as well, in regards to the writing. The writing of the story kept switching from first person to third person and got quite annoying. There was also the issue with Viggo (Pickens right hand man) being killed when he held a knife against Libby, yet later on he’s well and alive talking with Martin. So did the guy die or not??? I would think decapitation would kill anyone, even the vampires in this story.
Jase and Libby’s story is full of danger, frustration, and anxiety. As they finally work out that they belong together, Pickens’ agenda becomes known, and Libby gets an amazing surprise.
