Iva and Noah want to enjoy their reclaimed bond, but first they have to kill the most powerful of demons…or die trying. Book five of Maggie’s Grove Not much worries Noah Wulfenbach, one of the most powerful shifters in North America, but questions about Iva Yamauchi’s recovery had made him anxious. He was vigilant in his caring for his mate, sitting beside her tree, talking to it–to her. Now … to it–to her. Now that she’s back, Noah’s relief is matched only by his desire to drag the feisty dryad to his house to complete their mating bond.
Iva is ready to make up for lost time, especially with the delicious Alpha Prime of the werewolves, her fated mate. She and Noah had only just recognized their connection when she was injured and broken, forced to retreat to her tree. She’s curious and excited to find out just how firmly she’s tied to Mr. Tall, Dark and Growly.
Before Iva and Noah can explore the depth of their connection, supernatural hunters threaten the population of Maggie’s Grove. Together with the other town rulers, the fated pair must slay the demon-possessed leader of the hunters. Iva and Noah just found each other; they’re not ready to say goodbye…but they may not have a choice.

‘Maggie’s Grove is the place to be… the strong, solid characters are easily connected to and draw readers into their story which is full of passion, strength, loyalty and a willingness to fight evil. The romance between Noah and Iva is sweet with lots of powerful chemistry but their relationship has started off with trouble which they must overcome before they can hope to fulfill their destined bond. This keeps emotions and passion flowing from the pages as readers become enthralled with this couple.
The plot is fast paced and a bit complex with lots of suspense and excitement and readers can’t help but continue to turn the pages until they have read every last word. The battle with the Van Helsings is an ongoing one, so the story is best read in sequence for complete understanding of the character relationships and the nuances of the conflict but the story is still quite enjoyable if readers haven’t read them. This series is full of wonderfully unique and fascinating characters in a vivid and entertaining world that readers can’t get enough of and this one is a powerful and exhilarating reading experience.
Having read the other books in this series (and re-read them all several times!), I had absolutely no doubt at all that I would enjoy this book. That being said, even I was unprepared for how truly epic this book was going to be! While each book has it’s own story, there is also a larger story, that continues from book to book, a supernatural mystery that builds to a grand crescendo in Hour of the Wolf.
Ivy is one of the ruling dryads in Maggie’s Grove, a town inhabited by supernaturals and those that support them. But recently, something dangerous has been stalking those inhabitants, trying to destroy their way of life, attempting to eradicate them all. Ivy is trying to recuperate after a run in with those same ones left her broken and damaged, but not destroyed. With the help of her Sacred Yew, she is reclaiming her life, her strength, and is ready to move on with her mate.
Noah is the Supreme Alpha of the werewolves of Maggie’s Grove. He, too, has experienced his own share of sorrow. He has been patient, waiting for his mate to be ready to accept him. But past that, there is still danger, threatening them all, waiting for a weakness to present itself to be exploited.
This book is the long awaited conclusion to the Maggie’s Grove series. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. There is a beautiful, pure connection between Noah and Ivy, one that strengthens them both when they need it most. While each book has its own story, there is also a heart-pounding paranormal mystery that begins with the first book, and continues with each book after. Anyone who loves PNR will surely love this book, this entire series! It was so good, I already want to go back to the first book, and read them all again!
I love all the good people of Maggie’s Grove. Those that aren’t trying to kill the others that is. Wow oh wow, Noah was as Alpha as they come. Most of the time that would make them shitheads that needed to learn a hard lesson. Not Noah though, he was sweet, kind, understanding but that didn’t make him a sissy boy. It made him very good at what he did. That was protecting everyone he loved and cared about. Iva was just as awesome. Sweet, caring always there to help. This couple made a great pairing. I can’t wait to see whose story is next.
I have every book she’s written. Love her writing! Can’t wait for the next book to come out! Her characters are interesting and entertaining and the plots keep me coming back!
