Red Wolf by Jennifer AshleyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Fighting the Fae
It seems like eons since I read the first part of this series. This book has sat in my library languishing for a very long time. After being unable to get into any of my newer books over the last few days I decided to read this, as I knew I enjoyed the series and the characters were familiar. Sometimes we need the comfort of familiarity, even in books.
This book revolves around Jaycee, a leopard shifter, and her Tracker partner and best friend, red wolf shifter, Dimitri. They were raised from their teens together and are inseparable. Recently they had sex after their community leader went into a mating frenzy and dragged them with him. In the aftermath, Dimitri mate-claimed Jaycee and she has yet to decide if she will accept or reject him. She thinks he did it because he thought it would help control her and keep her safe during a dangerous interlude.
Their leader Kendrick decides to send them on a mission to assess if shifters are betraying their own kind by siding with the fae who enslaved them for centuries. They are eventually approached by a wolf shifter who invites them to New Orleans.
There are all sorts of antics in New Orleans, with a goblin, a sentient house and fae. They have to decide if they are going to fight for their relationship, or try to do their duty.
Theirs is an interesting relationship because they’ve been friends for years. It makes a nice change to have shifter relationships not being insta-love ones.
This series is well written and interesting. The characters continue through the series, which is always nice, as it often covers the main characters of previous books so it’s almost like a continuing epilogue. Having a continuing battle with the fae and the human authorities gives the series cohesion and means a new plot doesn’t have to be established in each book.
The book is enjoyable and helped me get out of my reading funk.
