Kate Douglas’s Dark series is a masterful blend of new stories, twists on werewolf legend, and updates on our favorite characters from her Wolf Tales series. I’m a big fan of Wolf Tales so I was thrilled with the concept of this series. It is the next generation of werewolves all grown up. I get updates on my favorite characters without info-dumping the old series. For example, in Dark Moon Tinker flies the helicopter so we get an update on him but not his whole backstory. So smart.
Fenris is our swoon-worthy hero number one. He has the mixture of brute strength and marshmallow insides that make him instantly likable. I love the twists on his journey to living with the Chanku – even though he isn’t completely Chanku (sorry no spoilers). The way he meets Sunny and the pack is unique to his story. While her reaction wasn’t quite believable (she wasn’t mad enough in my opinion), his dilemma of having to prove his character was fun to read – only because he has a heart of gold. His adjustment to the pack life only takes forty-eight hours from finding Sunny to going on his first mission which was jarring as a reader. However, he remarks on the time frame and makes the break-neck pace credible. Masterfully written.
Douglas brings back Igmutaka (and his Louisville Slugger) as hero number two. Fans of the series will love the continuation of his story with Star (Mik, Tala, and AJ’s daughter) but new fans will have enough of the backstory to keep up with this book. Igmutaka is also on the fringes of Chanku with his status as a puma shifter and spirit guide to Star. I loved reading about his torn loyalties between his spiritual duties and his forbidden feelings for Star. Star is the prickly character of the group, but Ig described her in such poetic terms, he won me over. I was rooting for them to get together from page one, even though he had chemistry with Sunny. Ig even had more chemistry with Fen than Star. Thank goodness they are Chanku where jealousy doesn’t exist, and groups often tussle between the sheets.
Overall, this is an extremely hot book of four individuals coming together through divine intervention. It has real-world action, fantasy elements, and swoon-worthy heartthrobs. I look forward to the next installment of this series.
Love all Kate Douglas “wolf” books.
My Thoughts – 5 out of 5 unicorns – I loved it!!
***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!! Yes, I got a review copy of this book, but no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book!
The cover is very nice! I do think both of them should have been on the cover though or all four of them.
This is the 3rd book in the series. I don’t think you have to read the books in order. This series is for adults only due to the steamy content, and you should be aware there are descriptive scenes up to and including 4 people.
There was definitely intrigue and mystery galore in this book, and it was definitely enlightening. I liked both women and both men. This book has a lot going on and kept you engaged in the book. This is a unique Chanku world that Kate has created.
I highly recommend to any of Kate’s fans because you know her work, and to any shifter fan who loves a unique world with multiple partners and steamy scenes!
