Midnight Wolf by Jennifer AshleyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
On The Run From Shifter Bureau
I’d probably give this book 4.5 ⭐️ if I could.
In New Orleans a wolf shifter, Angus, works as a bouncer. He used to be second in command until his crazy brother, Gavan, decided to start a revolution and got himself killed along, along with Angus’ mate, who’d run off with him. Luckily Angus had managed to get his son, Ciaran, back to safety before it all went wrong. He still got tarred with the brush that his brother so gleefully plunged into the can, which is why he lost his position.
Tamsin is a shifter who has never been collared. She’s always managed to evade detection from the Shifter Bureau, leading an exhausting life, but a free one. She managed to get sucked in by Angus’ brother, but ran away before they were caught by the Bureau, after she found out what he was up to. Now everyone wants to get their hands on her, because she knew about Gavan’s plans. In order to get their hands on her, a ruthless agent with the Shifter Bureau decides to use Angus, a gifted tracker, to capture Tamsin. He kidnaps Ciaran to manipulate Angus.
I really liked this couple. Angus is stoic, determined and kind. Tamsin is joyful, mischievous and loving. Ciaran is Angus’ world and his love is clearly demonstrated early on in the book. Ciaran is funny, exuberant and sweet.
The plot in this book was fairly complex and interesting. It involved the help of several others to make the plot work and I had no idea how they were going to do it. I was kept guessing right to the end on what they were going to do. This made it really enjoyable to read and get sucked into. The world building was fairly sparse because this is the 11th book in the series and most of the heavy lifting has already been done, but the character work was, always, deftly handled and believable.
It’s been a long time since I dove into this series, but this book reminded me of why I loved it enough to get to book 11. I think I might download book 12 now, whilst I still remember how good it is!
