Genres ~ Paranormal Shifter Romance
WELCOME TO ALPHAVILLE, where the she-wolves and alpha-males play. . .for keeps.
Renny Landry is a wolf on the run. Pursued by a shapeshifting stalker and his slobbering pack of killer coyotes, she is forced to flee her job as a librarian to find sanctuary in the wooded hills of Alpha, Washington. A well-secluded safe space for troubled shifters, Alpha is Renny’s last hope. But the first person she meets there is a gorgeous alpha male with fiery eyes, fierce tattoos, and one ferocious appetite—for her…
Mick Fischer thought he left his past behind when he moved to Alpha. But fate has a way of biting him in the tail when a female wolf shows up on his property. Wounded, desperate—and disarmingly hot—Renny brings out the snarling, protective alpha beast in Mick like no other woman he’s known. Can these two haunted, hunted wolves manage to mate for life…even as the deadliest past demons howl at their heels?
Having read Something to Howl About Book #0.5 of this Alphaville Series I was curious to see if this series would continue to expand in richness. I was not disappointed in this book as it expanded on the characters from the previous book.
Renny's character starts out in a dramatic way encouraging the reader to fall in love with her life threatening situation. It isn't hard to like her and want a better life for her. Her character expands throughout the story and you will find a need for the ending of the stalker behind her fear.
Mick's character is a little harder to get your head around. He's everything a woman would want but still his character felt elusive creating in this reader a desire to have him be a little bit more approachable. But that being said he was portrayed exactly as the author intended and the reader will want to know his back history which created who he was in the present day.
All in all this is a quick easy read but I would of like a little more depth to the characters. For that reason I give this 4 STARS.

When not scrambling frantically to complete her latest writing project, Christine spends most of her time as a crazy animal lady, hanging out with her dog Levi (he’s the one with the hair) and pretending to train him to have some manners. She also hangs out with her horse, Cal—a thoroughbred with a craving for strawberry licorice twists—her goddog, Merlin; and her best friend, fellow author Hannah Murray. In addition to playing with her pets, Christine’s hobbies include identifying dog breeds from photos of their underbellies, appreciating fine and not-so-fine wines, shopping for the perfect pair of Christian Louboutin shoes, and most of all reading things someone else had to agonize over.
She enjoys hearing from readers and can be reached via email sent to Christine@christinewarren.net or by postal mail to Christine Warren, PO Box 871900, Vancouver, WA 98687-1900.
