Into The Wolf's Den
Oh. My. Goodness! If you loved Sara and Nikolas in their story as much as I did, prepare yourself. Because Roland and Emma's story is wrought with tension, uncertainty, and love. I thought Sara and Nikolas's courtship had fireworks. LORD, Roland and Emma sure gave them a run for their money! First thought I had upon finishing this was "Sara is going to be so pi**ed that she didn't get those front row seats!" (Hehe)
Emma is an ex-vampire, only the second one in existence. She was a vampire for 21 years of her life before being freed from her Hell by Sara, and now she is trying to pick up the pieces of her tattered life and glue them together as best she can. She is a new woman, and that means a fresh start if she is ever going to move on from the horrors she faced and committed as a demon while in Eli's possession. This means moving to New Hastings— A quiet town with your friendly, neighborhood werewolves. She is unsure how to feel about being so close to her previous mortal enemies...until she meets one with the ability to quiet the nightmares that constantly plague her and make her feel more safe and wanted than she ever imagined.
Roland is our Beta-in-training, just trying to make something of his life and focus on his future, but not too far into the future. Roland doesn't want a mate. He doesn't want to be tied down at such a young age or the responsibility that comes with matehood. But fate has a serious hand in his life, and ready or not, his time for being on his own is quickly coming to a close. But then, Roland might no longer be as against the idea of settling down as he thought, so long as he gets one sassy young woman with a pair of tortured eyes that make his heart clench and give him new purpose in life.
I was absolutely floored by the story I received from Karen. Emma gripped my heart and refused to release it, and her pain and happiness were shared in me as I got to know her and saw into her troubled mind. Roland impressed me in many ways; he is certainly no longer the young player we knew when this all began in "Relentless." I'll admit, he let me down in some places with his judgy attitude and standoffish actions. But he ultimately came through for Emma, slowly making himself into a mate worthy of her.
Highly recommended for those of you who have known and loved the Relentless trilogy and have a particular interest in werewolves. Y'all won't be disappointed!
