Overall, great boxset, well worth the money.
1. Savage Surrender. Beelzebub or Bez- Bez’s story:
I really enjoyed this book, it kept me on the edge of my seat, I couldn’t stop until I finished. Thrilled that Bez gets his mate with Sarial. I am excited to see the rest of the Dire wolf pack find their Omega mates. Both Bez & Sarial are very likable/believable. I felt like there might be some more background from a different series by this author, like this is an off-shoot of another series, I’d like more background about the Dires, as well as having enjoyed this book by this author.
2. Savage Sanctuary. Leviathan or Levi- Levi’s story
This was my least favorite in the boxset. I was very bored, & thought once or twice of quitting the whole box set from this book. The flow was not at all like Bez’s story. Nothing really pulled me in. I persevered & made it to the end of the story. I felt it was less believable, & the character of Levi was really not likable.
3. Savage Seduction. Mammon’s story
I’m glad I didn’t give up after Levi’s story, as Mammon’s was much better, it pulled me in & held my interest. It flowed pretty smoothly, not as fast & furious as Bez’s story though. I think the whole enemies to lovers was sort of a stretch, since he assumed she was the enemy, when she really wasn’t.
4. Savage Silence. Sathaus or Thaus -Thaus’ story
This was a bit of a twist for the character of Thaus, I didn’t see this as the same character from his behavior in the other 3 books. As long as I didn’t keep thinking that, I did really like the story. I loved his restraint with his traumatized mate. This did flow as fast & furious as Bez’s book. It pulled me in, had me on the edge of my seat, and not able to put it down.
I was hoping by the end of book 4, that more of these 4 couples would have been in the family way then what actually happened. I am interested to see the remaining 3 find their Omegas. Hopefully they will be as good of stories as 3 of the 4 in this book.
Very entertaining and unpredictable!!! Loved all the characters!!
Good characters . Hot read
A truly talented paranormal author!
Predictable.
It was a real pageturner kept me up all night . Thoroughly enjoyed the storyline had to order the next book asap
Loved this series. I had to read them all to find out what mate each got.
Enjoyed book but writer is a bit hoakey with her romantic intimate descriptions. A bit too egotistical with vocabulary.
Kept me involved throughout the entire series
One of my favourite series to reread.
You cannot go wrong reading this series. If you love strong women and really alpha males this is for you.
All books have been reviewed independently but I have included them here.
1 – SAVAGE SURRENDER Bought
4.5 stars. This is a book from a new author I found in the Shifters in Spring box set and was free on Amazon.
I just loved this book and the Dire Wolves, OMG. The biggest, baddest of all the wolf shifters out there.
The story had loads of action and just kept me reading and I cannot wait to read about the rest of these really extraordinary pack of Dire Wolves.
I loved the instant knowing that the one you are seeing is your mate but it was not in a silly way, it was sensible, grown up and enjoyable.
I have read the short bonus follow up to this (Savage Surrender-Homecoming) which is free from the authors newsletter, so if you like this book make sure to get and read this too.
I have just started book two in this series and had to force myself to put it down to write this review.
I am going to have to read her other series Feral Breed MC even though I am not into biker books.
2 – SAVAGE SANCTUARY
4.5 stars. Another good book in this series, bring on the rest.
Poor old Levi, treated like the idiot baby brother by his pack. I think he did very well all things considered, especially when you get to the end and it all comes out as to what is going on. No one could have seen that coming. His pack sure didn’t.
Loved Amy, feisty, smart and her own woman but more than able to be his mate and balance Levi.
12 brothers, that is a series in and of itself.
Will be fun to see Amy and Levi in future books, Levi especially living small town life.
Whilst this book is not as great as book one, it is still very good. I think this is due to the uniqueness of these Dire wolves and book one was just a wow due to this fact.
We are now getting to know these Dire Wolves and will appreciate their characters as the series progresses.
3 – SAVAGE SEDUCTION
4.5 stars. OMGoodness, what a great read. Just loved it.
Talk about Lady and the Tramp. We have Charmaine, a well-bred lady who hides behind the persona of an Ice Princess. In reality she is gritty, sensitive, caring. untrusting and loyal to those she loves, who are few. She is practically a sister to Finn O’Rourke.
Mammon is a Dire Wolf through and through, never deviates from what he sees as right but also not a follower of rules if they should be bent. He believes in honesty and justice. He has had a grudge against the O’Rourke’s for two years.
To find his mate is Charmaine was one hell of a shock and he thought he could deny the fates, silly wolf.
What follows is a well written very enjoyable tale in which we see most of the Dire Wolves involved to bring down those dreaded Apex Hunters who everyone was told had been destroyed. Yeh right, evil will always survive, it just needs the Dire Wolves to keep it in check.
Loved the background in this story, it is really bringing this world together.
Can’t wait for more of these Dire Wolves. Hope Phego gets his story soon. Oh who am I kidding, I want all off their stories.
This can be read as a standalone but you will want to go back and read the others.
4 – SAVAGE SILENCE
4.5 stars for another great Dire Wolf book.
I do not know how Ms leigh manages to keep writing such good stories.
This book was another page turner.
Thaus has been the quiet one we know very little about. The weapons and demolition expert. When he is asked to take on a mission on his own you know there is something special coming.
Thaus was one big wonderful sweetie with his mate Ariel.
Ariel is one of the Omega women and has been through what no woman should ever have to face, she managed to escape and get herself to safety. She is horribly scarred and suffers panic attacks if anyone touches or startles her.
How these two forge a mating bond is so poignant and makes me firmly believe in the fates.
A well written, superb story of triumph over circumstances and the power of love.

Title: The Devil’s Dires: Dire Wolves Missions 1-4
Series: The Devil’s Dires
Author: Ellis Leigh
Designation: Books 1-4 of Series, Full-Length, Standalone, NO Cliffhanger #paranormalromance #direwolfshifters #suspense #action #adventure
Reading Platform: Kindle Edition
My Rating: Five Sexy Suspenseful Stars*****
Oh my! Oh my! Oh my! Four Dire Wolves Missions in one convenient box set??? YES, please! We have four perilous missions filled to the brim pulse-pounding danger, nonstop action, spine-tingling suspense, heart-wrenching drama, menacing villains, four hot hunky heroes, and a whole lot of steamy romance! *swoon* Ellis Leigh totally rocked my world with The Devils;’s Dires – AGAIN! I’ve been a diehard Ellis Leigh fan for several years and eagerly await each new release. For anyone familiar with Leigh’s work, you may be asking yourself: Why does The Devil’s Dires sound familiar? Well, there’s actually a very good reason. The Dire Wolves were first introduced as minor characters in Leigh’s Feral Breed Motorcycle Club Series, so we’ve known of the existence of this small select group of wolf shifters for quite some time. We just didn’t know a whole lot about them other than they acted as the Cleaners for the NALB (North American Lycan Brotherhood). While the Feral Breed MC members act as the enforcers or police for Blassius ‘Blaze’ Zenne, president of the NALB, the Cleaners are an elite strategic group created by Blaze as a cover for the seven-member pack of Dire Wolves. And folks, these wolf shifters are tougher than tough, badder than bad, meaner than mean and better than the best. They live hard and fight harder. These men are all handsome, sexy wolf-shifters, but unlike other wolves, the Dire Wolves are a dangerous breed among themselves, one shrouded in mystery and now almost extinct with only a small group of seven known to still exist. And all seven of their pack make up an elite team of soldiers, trackers and hackers who are by far the biggest, baddest, and toughest of any species known to man or wolf. They are better than the best, called upon when the talent and skill of the Feral Breed’s finest fall short to successfully accomplish the mission. The Dire Wolves submit to no one, but they do work for Blasius ‘Blaze’ Zenne, President of the North American Lycan Brotherhood which is the ruling power over all shifters in the country. Their breed owes no loyalty to the Feral Breed Brothers but the only man these Dires respect outside their race is Blasius Zenne. They are loyal to Blaze, not the NALB. They answer only to him when he calls, not because they have to, but because they respect him, choose to bend to his authority and obey his orders. Their duties fall under the purview of Blaze’s Cleaners, a unit used to solve certain problems when unparalleled skill and lethal action are required. But after a lonely millennia of existence, none of these alpha wolf shifters have found their mates – until now. In this series, we get to know all seven of the Dire Wolves but each release is a standalone story featuring primarily one member of the team as he embarks on a perilous mission, made even more complicated when he meets his fated mate, the one woman the universe created just for him. Each of these highly principled wolf shifters must face their destinies while their hearts battle between duty to their new found mates, and duty to their mission, as well as to their breed. One Brotherhood…. One mission…. One man…. One mate…. One fate…. So buckle up, my lovelies, it’s a wild ride!
But as always I digress, so let’s talk about the actual craftsmanship. The books are exciting, imaginative, compelling, fast paced, action packed, suspenseful, sexy, romantic, exceptionally well crafted and edited. The narratives are all beautifully written with third-person perspectives from the two protagonists of each story. The dialogue is smart, raw, intense, seductive, flows effortlessly, and quite explicit. All of these wolf shifters are alpha males who know how to talk trash! lol… But never fear, they still always manage to get the girl! I love the premise for this series as well as the fascinating world Leigh has created, but it’s the magnificent cast of characters who explode from the pages, capture my imagination, and completely steal my heart. Leigh takes no prisoners in this series, and I do mean that quite literally! I’m totally smitten with each member of the Dire Wolf team and don’t ask me to pick a favorite because I can’t! I love them all! Swoon!
Did I like this set? No, I LOVED it! Would I recommend it? You bet, and I am but only for adult readers because this woman knows she can write some of the steamiest, dreamiest sex scenes – ever! Will I read this author again? Abso-freaking-lutely! Just as soon as she releases her next book! And finally, was I entertained? Completely! I love this series and its characters. I cried for them, empathized with them, laughed with them, cheered for them, as well as screamed and shook my fists in anger as they fought their enemies…..and loved every single minute! Fabulous entertainment and an awesome read!
