From the moment that Anna steps out of the nightclub and into the arms of two werewolves (wolven) in the opening scene, I was hooked on She Wolf. In fact the first chapter was one of the best opening sequences to a book I’ve read. It had the right mix of action, interest and emotion. The author perfectly details the scene by allowing the reader to experience the situation using Anna’s better-than-normal sense of smell and inner voice.Anna is accosted by two rough males - she can sense that they are up to no good, but Anna is unaware of the danger she truly faces. Like most humans, she does not know about the existence of shifters, and when she sees one of her attackers start to “go wolf” she assumes it’s all trickery. Then she sees another stranger, but she is drawn to him. I love that when our hero, Kieran, shows up, Anna can sense his goodness. And the first time they touch (innocently!) sparks fly - literally. I’m a big sucker for the “one true mate” love stories and this is one of those stories.Anna and Kieran quickly get to know each other. And although this is definitely an “alpha male” story, Anna holds her ground and does things on her terms. She is a strong individual that can handle any situation. In fact, when our alpha-boy goes weak and wimpy, it is Anna that fights for her man and then forces him to prove he’s worth the fight. The story flowed nicely - moving from the open scene, to the “get to know you” to the “we have problems” and then “fight for each other” scenarios. There were a few plot points that left me slightly annoyed, but overall the story was much stronger than a few errors or confusion. The biggest issues I had came at the end of the story. I really felt that I could have used about 2-3 more chapters to play out some of the events that only took a few sentences to explain. I felt a bit cheated after such a fun, emotional ride to be told “this is what happened next.”However, I am pleased that the second book of the series, Dark Succession, is already available for my reading pleasure, and I have been told by Ms. D’Amario that some of my questions will be answered. I recommend this book - especially if you enjoy shifter and/or predestined mating stories. It is a highly enjoyable read.My Rating: #3.5 stars. I started SheWolf about a day or so ago and I probably would have finished it yesterday if I wasn't up working late. It's one of those books you start and you know you should be in bed but you can't stop reading no matter how many times you promise yourself "I'll stop at the end of this chapter".Right from the start the story engages you with complex characters who live and breathe right off the page. I wanted to keep following Anna and Kieran around and loved being entrenched in their world. Anna's struggles, although otherworldly, are still identifiable and you want to root for her to overcome her fears, struggles and go get her man! I loved how independent and strong she was while still allowing her femininity to rise to the surface.Kieran on the other hand. Wooo doggie. And I mean that literally. Very alpha, very masculine and VERY HOT, I could smell his testosterone as it dripped from each word. Personally I'm not one for alpha domineering males in real life but like most romance readers when it comes in the form of paranormals it is very very sexy in the hero. There is one scene where the hero demands something of the heroine that nearly melted my palm pilot, I'll tell ya that much.Woo! *Fans self* Where was I...Ah yes.The hero and heroine very hot together and the love scenes are seriously smoking here. Very well written. Also what I loved about the story is how there's so much emotion. One minute you're on edge with fear, then excitement, then anger and then overcome with sadness. Not many books lately, although good reads, have been able to make me feel such a range. I had to stop myself from finishing the book or else it'd be over. And, readers, you know how much that sucks because of how much you've invested in the characters.If and when this comes out in paperback I'm definitely adding this one to my keeper shelf. It's currently available in ebook format and I urge you readers out there if you haven't tried an ebook, trot on over to Freya's Bower and download a copy.I'm also reading Blood Martyr but as it comes out in short chapter formats I must wait with much anticipation for the next one to come out. Hopefully it's soon! :-D
