A note from Audrey: Some series can be read out of order – this isn’t one of them. Start with Alpha and welcome to Ghost Mountain!The pack is coming out of the shadows—but some of its shifters don’t know how to live anywhere else.Fallon grew up on the street. She’s a survivor, and her skills kept her pack alive in the darkest of times. Now the sun is coming out, and she has no idea how to be a … and she has no idea how to be a bird who lives in the light. She’ll do anything to help her baby pack get there, though.
Even if it means returning the shinies she stole from a polar bear.
“Unique and joyous fantasy as no one else writes it.” ~ Amazon reviewer

Generic review, as I have so thoroughly enjoyed every book of hers I’ve read.
I’ve yet to read a book of hers that didn’t leave me feeling better about life, the universe, and everything.
Don’t think of them in terms of fantasy of sci fi (if that might put you off) — think of them in terms of books that are heartwarming, inspiring, comforting.
Strong characters who learn and grow, and who find and support connections with others and the world around them.
I eagerly await each new book!
“Raven” is the fourth book in Audrey Faye’s Ghost Mountain series. It really feels like this series proves how much paranormal romance has matured as a subgenre. There’s definitely a space for the sexy fun times and snarky banter books, but ones like Raven offer more emotional depth and a web of connection.
Trauma is once more handled sensitively as we meet new characters and catch up with old friends. A lovely series.
I’m enjoying this series and this book was no exception. In this book, Raven, the fourth in the Ghost Mountain Wolf Shifter series, we get more background information on several of the characters and more pack history. Audrey Faye has a way of writing characters who feel like family. People who you’d like to hang out with, love, and be loved by. She does a good job of diving into broken souls who are trying to fight their fears and put their lives back together and of writing the characters who love them and are trying to heal and help in any way they can. One comment, try not to leave too much time between books. There are several characters and relationships here and it helps to be able to keep them all straight. I’m already hoping for another book (or more!) and will read the whole series again when it’s complete.
Intricately layered shifter saga continues.
Audrey Faye’s Ghost Mountain Wolf Shifters series continues with book 4 Raven. This is a series that must be read in order to keep track of what has happened prior to the series start and the growing cast of characters. I absolutely loved Raven with all her fierceness and scars. Ben is a perfect mate for her and I enjoyed seeing the interactions between her baby back and all the wonderful characters from the previous books. I love how the author conveys the sense of family/community. This book pulled at so many of my my emotions from tears to laughter. I highly recommend this book and the previous books in the series.
I received an advance reader copy.
Raven – Fallon’s story
Raven shifter Fallon, grew up on the streets. Flying over Ghost Mountain territory she saw Ben Dunn, and the wolf looked shinny to her raven, and she literally dropped into his arms and was welcomed into his pack. When Samuel destroyed her new home, she took to the woods with her mate, taking the pack healer and her bear mate along with Ben’s big sister. They have been taking care of the packmates left behind in any way they can. Keeping the pups fed.
Brandy’s anxiety has kept them in the forest. They have formed their own baby pack. Adding Mikayla, a shy just out of her teens, sentinel from Bailey’s wolves and Reuben another wolf who struggles like Brandy.
Fallon had to steal at times to feed the pups. She is trying to make restitution. The biggest is to the Alpha of the polar bears. Ivan became friend to their pack when he agreed to act as Eamon’s jailor and his roar brought them peace. Fallon was not as carful as she thought and Ivan finds her. He only wants her story to add to the story of the coins she stole. To the polar bears, her story is one of honor.
Lissa’s pebbles are still rippling. They brought Ravi home to his mate and the daughter he never new. They brought old friends of the pack, Reese, the bobcat Alpha, and the cats of Lonely Mountain back. The teens of Lonley Mountain and the pups and cup of Ghost mountain are renewing their childhood friendships. Now the new Raven alpha whishes to forge a stronger friendship with the pack. Fallon is scared, she knows nothing of Ravens.
Tressie, her beta Martha and Emma Jean the trader that the pack have been working with, only offer friendship and are more then happy to teach Fallon about her heritage. It starts with a bead for the half Raven Wolf that will be soon joining their pack, along with another pup.
Hayden, Kel and Rio know all about Raven chicks. Tressie’s Ravens are happy to bring their chick to the pack to help the pack get ready.
Merna tells Hayden the Packs story. The pack makes a big decision to help in their healing. The are moving their den. A move that help some of the wolves living in the forest to feel safe again.
Great series. PG-13 rating. Not a stand alone, books need to be read in order.
Love these characters.
Highly recommend this series. Hoping there’s several more books to come. Please and Thank You.
Author is correct that this series reads best in order. Every story rests upon people and actions in previous books. The core characters of each story so far, Alpha = Hayden, Heart = Lissa, Rebel = Kennedy and Raven = Fallon and Ben. Viewpoints and thoughts of other characters are spread through every book.
Baby packs and gravity beams have more ghost members coming closer to the den. But so many are traumatized by pre-Alpha events.
Revelations of some of the evil done by the previous alpha and his cousin. Lots of tears as more of their actions to isolate and control the pack are brought to light.
Time to go back and re-read earlier stories in light of the new information.
Fantastic news and decisions made as this book ends and the next begins.
New additions to our favorite bear and psychic wolf groups.
After a line in an earlier story I’m very interested in what may or may not happen with Rio and Bailey.
Looking forward to more of the Dunn clan as well.
Still hope to read of Ronan’s visit (move) to the pack someday.
Next, but hopefully not last, is Breath.
No triggers but mention of despicable cowardly acts of evil, no sex, no cliffhanger.
Highly recommend this series, so addicting watching these people work together to heal and progress. And so many of the words speak to me, all the quotes I’ve underlined in this book especially.
Thanks for the great series Audrey Faye.
