About this listen
After escaping the claws of Corrigan, the Lord Alpha of the Brethren, Mack is trying to lead a quiet lonely life in Inverness in rural Scotland, away from anyone who might happen to be a shapeshifter. However, when she lands a job at an old bookstore owned by a mysterious elderly woman who not only has a familiar passion for herbal lore but also seems to know more than she should, Mack ends up caught in a maelstrom between the Ministry of Mages, the Fae and the Brethren. Now she has to decide between staying hidden and facing the music, as well as confronting her real feelings for the green eyed power of Corrigan himself.

Swooning
I'm definitely swooning over the Lord Alpha! I love him and I so desperately want to see where this thing between him and Mack will lead to. The narrator did an outstanding job of bringing this story to life!

Great story
I love this series! The characters are quirky, the main character is kind of a moron but still likeable.

After being forced to leave the Cornwall pack, Mack is on the run from the Brethren, and on her own for the first time in her life. Of course, she can’t just have a quiet uneventful life in the backcountry, as more and more people are looking for her. The Brethren are after her because she is a rogue shifter, Corrigan has a personal interest in her, a mysterious fae is following her around, and even the mages are taking an interest in her.
While the plot is not bad, I feel that the story didn’t progress that much. The final part with the Brethren pack and the mysterious sickness was pointless and over with way too soon and too easily in my opinion. We didn’t have the time to be afraid for them and the tension didn’t build up, it was just a basic: here is a problem, Mack finds a solution in a few hours, problem solved. End of the crisis. I still don’t see why this sub-plot was added to the book honestly.
I want to say that I like Corrigan, but we saw so little of him, it's hard to really know what he is like or to truly get attached to him. Sure, I like his sexy charisma and his suaveness, but he was really more of a secondary character in this book.
Solus is the one new secondary character that took more room in the book, and I have to say that I am intrigued by him, and I hope to see more of him in the next book. I missed Alex in this one, but I liked Solus, so I hope that at least one of them, if not both, will be part of the plot in the third book and that they will not just be pushed aside to make room for yet another secondary character that will take a liking to Mack.
While I still like Mack as a main character, and I like how even though she is a solitary person that tends to push others away, she is selfless and loyal when it comes to the people she cares about. Sadly, her anger issues are still annoying me. As a grown-up (because I do believe that she is in her 20s?), she needs to start learning to control her mouth and her temper. I do not mind the feisty side of her, but it just seems to get her into trouble because she can’t ever control it. Her aversion to nicknames is also getting a little out of hand. I get it, she doesn’t like nicknames, but snapping at a stranger because he calls you “love” or “darling”? Just ignore it, girl, it's not worth the energy, and it just shows how little control you have over your temper when you get mad for something so silly and simple as a nickname.
I said in my review of the first book that I enjoyed slow-burn romances, but I would still have liked it for Mack and Corrigan to spend more time together. I love this game of cat and mouse they are forced to play because Mack is still trying to hide her true identity from Corrigan, but after two books of him pursuing her and her lusting after him, I was hoping for a little more progress in their relationship before they got separated again (because I imagine that they will not spend much time together in the next book either with the way things are looking).
If you are looking for a paranormal romance, this series might not be for you, because even though I do believe that there will be romance at some point, after 2 books there is still nothing romantic going on between Mack and Corrigan. Some sexual tension on the few occasions they crossed paths, but nothing more.

It’s kinda slow but interesting enough to keep going
Mack has so much great potential but at times seems so juvenile. It’s taken her 2 books to trust the Alpha when she could just talked to him or put out some feelers before deciding she should run away rather then have a simple conversation. No a whole lot has actually happened in the books just a lot of her self doubt which gets annoying.
I have hope that it will get better as I like her band of misfit friends & I’m waiting for this slow burn romance to pay off.
