When all your plans crumble like a demolished building, hopelessly destroyed and beyond repair? Mali&Em, book #five in the #HWH series will answer that very question, when wolf twins are separated and Mali is sent to the ‘Island of Shadows’, can … Shadows’, can she survive long enough for Emerson to get to her? Can she survive long enough to see the next sunrise? And what’s with the gargoyle with a seemingly unending list of hard cock related jokes.
Synopsis-
Emerson and Zamali—
wolf twins together forever.
One single moment, one single exam, one single word…
FAILED
…will separate them for life, banished to the Island of Shadowsfor eternity.
When Zamali fails her Paranormal Safety Exams (PSE) and is sent to the Island of Shadows, Emerson is a lost and brokenwolf. Styx, the local pack leader’s sassy daughter, tells him to either shut his muzzle or grow some balls and rescue her. In that instant—in Emerson’s head—the plan is hatched.

Or will the Island engulf them both?

Now seriously if a book can make me cry in the first two chapters it’s gonna be a good one.
I love the Halfway House series and book five, Mali & Em, is no different.
Reading all the other books you think out of Zahmali & Emerson if anyone was going to end up on the Island it would be Em, but no, as fate would have it Mali failed her PSA and got sent to the Island. Luckily for her, she found a couple new friends in Torsten and Barren and they helped her keep safe.
What makes Dzintra Sullivan’s books so good is not only the emotional connection I feel with the characters but the hilarious one-liners. Oh the amount of times I laugh in her books.
The 5th book in the Halfway house series i had been waiting for for ages… It was well worth the wait!
This book had me in tears for at least 6 chapters!,I was also laughing and angry and sad and hopeful and excited such a roller coaster ride of emotions from i book i just couldn’t put down at all . The characters are well developed flow fluidly and them and their story pulls you in and holds you captive til the very end. I so look forward to more from this series and can quite happily say i am an addicted fan!
I know Merakai, the next book in this sensational series, is due to be released soon but after just finishing Mali and Em I want to read it now! This series is so good that you find yourself impatient for the next one.
Mali is banished to ‘The Island’ after failing her paranormal exam, her twin Emerson sets out with his mate to rescue her. This starts a whole domino effect and there is never a dull moment both on and off the island!
I can honestly say that never having been a huge fan of paranormal books Dzintra Sullivan has converted me. Her books are so good it’s hard to put into words and accurately express how fantastic they all are and how entertaining too. Reading is entertainment but this author takes it further and you really feel like you step into the pages and experience the whole story with each character.
At times I was holding onto my paperback, yes they are that good I will continue to buy the hard copies, tensely waiting for the outcome to a situation while at others I was mesmerised by the charm and uniqueness of the characters. Many new creatures, to me, were exposed and explained making me quickly Google them to research further, a sign of a wonderful author if she can get her readers through invested in the story.
The humour throughout the book, even in tense situations, makes you chuckle out loud, many times I had to read excerpts out to my husband it is that good. This also balances the more intense elements of the storyline, a balance that this author has perfected to a fine art.
Bring on book 6!
Love the HWH series !!
Dzintra Sullivan has taken things to a whole new level, with this latest edition to the series. ‘Mali and Em’ has to be one of my favourite books ever…
Everything about this book was spectacular. I got totally lost in the world in which the author created. The storyline and the plot twists, had my head in a total spin. The characters, good and evil, were truly captivating. I had so many emotions while reading, and really didn’t want this book to end. I think I sat a long time afterwards, saying OMG OMG OMG!!…Then went all the way back to the beginning and started reading again…
Mali and Em (The wolf twins from the HWH family) have been waiting for their PSE results. When results day arrives, the unthinkable happens and Mali has failed. Which means, she must go to the dreaded Island of Shadows…
Everyone is heartbroken…
Eloise can’t except that she has lost Mali, and is doing everything in her power to get her back..
Emerson is broken with the loss of his twin, and takes things into his own hands, to get her back. With the help of Styxx, he sets out to rescue Mali from the Island…
Can Em and Styxx rescue Mali? Will Mali survive the Island of Shadows? OR Will the Island prove to be too dangerous?
Can’t wait to read more of this amazing series
If ever there was an author to one click then this lady is it, with each book in the halfway house series she releases, Dzintra Sullivan takes you on a rollercoaster journey of emotions.
This book had tears streaming down my face at the beginning, I felt like my heart was being ripped out my chest at one of the twins being sent to the ‘island’ because omg no one returns from there ! it seems a hopeless battle to try and rectify this injustice but as always at the heart of these books is family and love and with a bond this strong there is always hope.
It was great to see Rumor’s character development in this book, are those cracks showing in that impenetrable emotional armour of our favourite assassin ?
As we get to experience the island that sends fear though the hearts of all paranormals, we meet a host of different and unusual characters, I LOVED Torsten and Barren, and with plenty of twists and surprises along the way as well as the humorous witty banter that gives this series an unrivalled edge, this is a book that I not only did not want to put down but will happily read again and again.
