The third and final book of the Angel Hills series, Winter’s End follows characters introduced in the first two books. This series must be read in order for complete understanding and enjoyment. However, reading the River Wolf Pack or Cascade Cities series is not required.Dangerous and debilitating illnesses among the omegas of Angel Hills Pack cause concern for pack alpha Grey and his long-time … Grey and his long-time beta mate, Ian. Grey must decide if he’s willing to let their omega mate, Gabriel, take the antidote offered by the human doctors in Cascade City or risk never allowing the omega to reproduce again. Meanwhile, Duncan’s relationship with Canaan confuses him; Roanan struggles with a new mate and three teens, one of them an omega; and two new omegas arrive from the city.
Contains A/B/O wolf shifter dynamics and m-preg.

I’m sorry to see the series end. It was a wonderful, incredible journey. Seeing the pack grow and fall in love was just beautiful. I really hope there will be more books. I highly recommend the entire series. You will not be disappointed!
I’ll start saying this was absolutely a delightful series. It felt whole, with an amazingly positive vibe. Every character had a clear place and voice. I felt deeply involved with every family.
Grey shows to be a consistently good pack leader. His decisions to combine alpha’s and omega are just great even where I had my questions. He was loyal and kind, forgiving, and honest. His mates were everything to him.
After following the pack through this series I desperately needed some couples together and thank goodness I wasn’t disappointed!
There are a lot of pregnancies and pups and oh boy it was all fun.
New pack members were welcomed and some were leaving, whatever it was it felt good and natural. The series had a good proportion of hurt/comfort, a lot of, read: a-lot-of delicious sexual activity, with the most engaging characters. I fell in love with this pack, with all its flaws, from first sight! They were dedicated and committed just like a good pack should be.
The whole series was wonderfully written, enormously captivating, I couldn’t stop reading.
Did I like it, YES! Did I want it to end NO! But I know it had to stop at some point and the time of ending was perfect, I couldn’t wish better!
We’ve made it to the “conclusion” of the Angel Hills Pack series. I say this with a touch of sarcasm that I will explain shortly. Once again, Gray, Ian, and Gabriel are the essential triad, while Duncan and Canaan, Roanan and Emory, and young Christopher and X, are the remaining couples in need of some resolutions.
I do think this book was better written than the first two. However, I still don’t enjoy the overcrowded plotlines. I really feel that the multiple story lines reduce the strength and development of the characters and the relationships.
As for the relationships, the only outcome I was remotely satisfied with was Roanan and Emory, and their family. I was extremely disappointed with the way the author chose to settle things between Duncan and Canaan. Sure, it was all “oh, how sweet, swoon…” In my opinion, that just totally destroyed the truth of what they had been building, and what they both needed from the other, and did a great disservice to one of my favorite couples.
Then, there is Christopher and X. This is a good time to explain my sarcasm about this being a conclusion. We have learned of the horrible things humans are doing to shifters, and both Christopher and Gabriel have been paying the price. Unfortunately, if you want answers more clear than mud, I’m afraid you will have to read the Cascade City Pack series. You’ll also have to go there to find out what happens between X and Christopher. At this point, I’m not sure I really need to know that badly. I hate when authors present a group of books as self contained, even if it is a spin-off, and then you find out you have to do something else to tie up all the loose ends.
Anyway, there were some good parts, and some really disappointing parts, at least for me. Of course, the author had to bring in more new characters and form new pairings…at that point, I knew I was not going to continue down the rabbit hole. For fans of this author, I imagine this book and series was just great. But, as someone who had never read their work before, I can honestly say, I will probably go back to my blissful world of ignorance.
* I received an ARC of this book and I am leaving my honest opinion. *
I totally loved the latest in the series, Winter’s End. It was super romantic in comparison, totally hot and sexy, and more couples and even more new people added to the pack. I love that Grey, Ian and Gabriel were still the main characters. I loved learning more about Roanin and Emory, plus his maturing children. I like the Omega Den, so much more than I first thought. And the romance between Canaan and Duncan went from harsh and total sex, to just a bit more. I definitely recommend and I hope there’s more to come.
The story continues with more pack mates being added. I especially loved getting to know more about Duncan and Caanan, those two were perfect for each other. Ian’s brother finds himself a new mate! I loved how Rebecca James wrapped up the story lines of about everyone.
I am voluntarily leaving a review form an ARC that I received from Gay Romance Reviews. My reviews are solely based on my thoughts and opinions.
I was so looking forward to this book! I wanted to see reclusive, emotionally stunted Duncan brought to his knees by love, and the author not only gave me that, but also the adorable sight of the rough alpha all tender with a baby in his arms, added to his suprising sweetness toward Cannan. I loved it!
Although, really, everything about this book was fun. It’s an incredible ending to the Angel Hills Pack series, with less drama than I found in the previous installments. Never boring, because some pack members left, new ones arrived, established couples and triads got stronger while others were only just forming. Multiple points of view, again, which I appreciated, a whole range of emotions, moments of calm affection balanced with hot, steamy ones, and the cutest pups in the world.
Great, nicely wrapped series. Recommended.
Winter’s End by Rebecca James is the third book in the Angel Hills series. This shifter more story is amazingly easy to fall into. There’s a bit of sweet, a lot of heat, some drama, and a touch of suspense. Fantastic Story and characters, I love the world of pack built in this series….fascinaing.
