Blurb/Summary:

Moves Like Jagger, the eagerly anticipated 4th book in the Wolf Mates series by USA Today bestselling author Dakota Cassidy is here. Return to Cedar Glen for a laugh-out-loud cast of characters and a mystery to solve. Love is in the air and danger is on the horizon in this holiday romp in the woods.

The weather outside is frightful, but the romance is so delightful in Cedar Glen! 

Vivienne Hathaway is a cat shifter who's still learning about the ways of the paranormal. Sometimes she finds herself in a bit of a mess as she works out the kinks.

Like looking out from the inside of a dog crate.

Naked.

And on her way to be spayed.

EEK!

When she meets hot bear-shifter, Jagger Dubrov and Cedar Glen's local mobile veterinarian during a catch and release program designed to thwart the population of feral cats in his new hometown, Jagger mistakenly catches Viv, and it's all out holiday magic at first sight.

As Viv and Jagger begin a perfectly fine Christmas romance and get to know each other over eggnog and mistletoe, a problem lurks. Someone’s hunting pets and killing the wildlife in Cedar Glen, a strictly forbidden practice. And that someone? They also want Viv dead.

Review:

You won’t want to miss this little gem of a story.  Dakota Cassidy brings us back to Cedar Glen for Vivienne Hathaway and Jagger Dubrov’s story.  In case you are new to the series, Cedar Glen is a small town of shape-shifters most of them werewolves.  However, diversity is hitting the little town. 

Vivienne Hathaway is a cat-shifter that is best friends with the alpha’s wife JC.  Vivienne is down on her luck and is accepting the help of both JC and Max the werewolf alpha.  She finally feels free enough to shift and run through the town and surrounding woods, that is until she gets caught by Jagger Dubrov.

Jagger Dubrov is Cedar Glen’s newest arrival and is setting up shop as the mobile veterinarian for the area.  He accidentally traps and catches Vivienne during her cat shift.  Hilarity ensues from that point on. Vivienne and Jagger’s comments, quips, and inside jokes had me laughing out loud.  Their chemistry together is palpable.

As they get to know one another and share their love of animals there is someone in the shadows ready to rip them apart.  There is just enough mystery and suspense in this romance to keep you turning the pages as fast as you can.

Moves Like Jagger is a great holiday read for all of you that like to read seasonally.  Dakota Cassidy artfully combined Christmas, mystery, romantic comedy, paranormal romance, and a HEA ending into a fun story to read.  I fell in love with this couple and you will too.

 Blurb/Summary:

FBI agent Lily Yu’s mind is a dangerous place to be in the latest Novel of the Lupi…

Thanks to the mindspeech lessons she’s receiving from the black dragon, Lily is temporarily benched from Unit Twelve—until her brain acclimates and the risk of total burnout passes. At least she has her new husband, lupi Rule Turner, to keep her occupied.

But when her mentor calls in a favor and sends Lily to a murder scene, she’s suddenly back on active status—despite the hallucinations she can’t keep at bay.  With one touch, Lily knows the man was killed by magic, but her senses don’t warn her how far the conspiracy goes…

A shadowy force within the government wants to take Unit Twelve down, and they don't mind killing to achieve their goal. With none of her usual resources, Lily is up against impossible odds--because with her mind in disarray, she can’t trust anything she sees.

Review:

Fans and newcomers alike will not want to miss out on the latest installment of the Lupi Series by Eileen Wilks.  Mind Magic is book twelve in the series, but Eileen Wilks gives enough background to keep newcomers from being lost and entice them to read the rest of the series.

In Mind Magic, Lily Yu and Rule Turner are back onstage as the main characters.  I enjoyed reading about them again and Ms. Wilks does not disappoint in introducing new characters.  Readers will get to meet Demi, a girl who likes to be called Danny and has Asperger’s Syndrome.  Ms. Wilks does a fantastic job of bringing Demi to life in the pages and shedding light on this syndrome throughout the story.   We also are introduced to several new Leidolf Clan werewolves that are hard not to fall in love with.  I would be remiss not to mention the unforgettable little Brownies full of tricks and games that play a vital role in this story.

Mind Magic is a hard-core, action-packed, paranormal romance laced with urban fantasy and stirred with a bit of mystery.  The action starts on page one and just keeps going.  The plot will have you glued to the pages as you take the journey with Demi, Lily, Rule, and Ruben Brooks to find out who is trying to frame them and to what purpose.

In this book as others past, the Dragons play a role in how the events play out for Lily, Rule, and Ruben.  Eileen Wilks gives the readers more Dragon information and background in this book than in the previous ones and it is information that you need to know going forward in the series.  Dragon fans will be thrilled.  I will not give away any fun highlights about the Dragons as I had fun reading it so should you without spoilers. 

The plot feeds off previous story lines and adds new dimensions.  The evil the Lupi are fighting, the “Great Bitch”, is using a new resource to fight the “Lady”, the Lupi’s benefactor and creator.  The result of this book will help determine future plot lines of other books in the series.

There is so much that happens in Mind Magic that it is a must-read!

Reviewer:  Stacey Krug  

Blurb/Summary:

Accidentally Ever After by USA Today bestselling author Dakota Cassidy is a fairy tale romp complete with fairy godmothers, an evil queen, woodland creatures, a Jersey salesclerk on a mission to find Shamalot, and of course a handsome hero. This laugh-out-loud addition to the Accidentally Paranormal series will get you in the holiday mood as the girls from OOPS strut their stuff in a land far, far, far away. 

Antonia Vitali's on the run and in hiding, working as a salesclerk in a designer outlet mall in Jersey. Toni's life has been on a steady downward decline for three years now, the ghosts of her past always nipping at her heels. 

Little does she know, her life's about to change when the OOPS girls whisk in for a day of Christmas shopping and fall through a wormhole in the store's dressing room, taking Toni with them! 

Now Toni's got a pair of sparkly purple heels gifted to her by the ​Good Witch of the South—gorgeous heels she can't take off until she returns them to the king. With ​a trio of reluctant fairy godmothers​ and​ an ogre named Dannan​,​ ​Toni's on a mission to get to the castle to ​receive ​a happily-ever-after she never asked for. Along the way, she meets an amazingly handsome, utterly chiseled stable boy named Jon Doe, who offers to help them navigate the Not So Sherwood Forest​​ and get them all to Castle Beckett before Christmas Eve. 

But if her happily-ever-after is at the castle, why would she rather make time with the stable boy? And why does the evil Queen Angria want Toni’s head on a platter?​ And how in the world has she developed her newfound, peculiar...um...talents?​ 

Join Toni, Marty, Nina, Wanda and Carl, as they journey along the treacherous road to love and eternal happiness in the magical realm of Shamalot!

Review:

Accidentally Ever After was a delightful read from beginning to end.  It is book eleven in the Accidental Series so characters and events from previous books pop up along the way.  However, if this is your very first Accidentally Paranormal Novel then jump right in because this is set in a realm that Dakota Cassidy has not explored yet.  You’ll also meet the main Accidental characters Nina, Marty, Wanda, and Carl.

The heroine is Antonia Vitali, Toni for short.  Toni is a strong, independent woman not afraid to kick some butt.  She’s a Nina mini-me!  For those of you unfamiliar with the series, Nina is the vampire with the foul mouth and gangster attitude.  Toni takes what life has thrown her and tries to find happiness.  The Fairy Godmothers help her along the way to her happily-ever-after. 

The hero in the story, Jon Doe, is gallant, full of chivalry, and has a very big secret of his own.  He aids Toni on her journey to seek her happily-ever-after from Castle Beckett.  Jon turns out to be very protective of all the women he feels are in his charge.   

Accidentally Ever After offers romance, adventure, danger, and death defying feats!

Accidentally Ever After is a mishmash of just about every fairy tale you can think of along with some book and movie references.  The reader is being told the story by the “storyteller” who pops in and out of the tale and fills us in on events happening outside the main characters’ scope.  I recommend reading the story if for no other reason than to find out all the funky character names and what Dakota Cassidy does to Carl, Nina’s zombie.  

This book was meaty.  There is now an entire new realm added to the Accidental Series, new characters, new abilities, and new friends.  You will not want to miss reading this before the next book comes out as Accidentally Ever After left us with a bit of a cliff-hanger.  Not a cliff-hanger so big you want to knock your head into a wall after reading two hundred and twelve pages, but one that has you anticipating the next book and what the characters will face then.

Toni and Jon are characters that stay with you after you are done reading their tale.  I want to know what they are up to now and who have they met since I stopped reading.  What adventures are in store for them down the road?  It will be very interesting to see how Dakota Cassidy pulls this realm along in her Accidental Series.

Reviewer:  Stacey Krug

Blurb/Summary:

After spending ten months in magic-abuse jail for a crime she doesn’t remember committing, accident-prone witch-in-denial Bernice Sutton is zapped to the small paranormal town of Paris, Texas. With Miss Fee Line, her kitty drag-queen familiar, by her side, Bernie just wants to fulfill the terms of her parole—shoveling horse and cow dung on a ranch—so she can get back to Boston and dig into the mystery of her parents’ deaths and her witch lineage. 

But plans be damned, Bernie’s quickly distracted by the town’s quirky cast of magical characters, from Winnie—the sassy owner of the local witch halfway house—to the entire posse of Poise Pad wearers at the senior center. And then there’s the biggest distraction of all, Ridge Donovan, Mr. Hot-Pants ranch owner. Maybe it couldn’t hurt to let them teach her how to harness her magic; if nothing else, it might make her less of a walking disaster. And Ridge is one hunk—er, *helpful* study partner. 

Between learning spells, wreaking havoc on the ranch, turning bingo night at the senior center into a “whirlwind” of excitement, and fighting her attraction to Ridge, Bernie is unprepared for an unwelcome person from her past. On one hand, he’s the key to her lifelong questions. On the other, he could destroy the new life she’s coming to enjoy—and the lives of all those she’s coming to love.

Review:

Witch Is The New Black is the third book in the Paris Texas Romance series.  I have not had a chance to read the first two so this story took some time to get into, but by the end of the first chapter I was hooked.  However by the end of the book I was still not a fan of one of the names in the story, Baba Yaga, as it reminded me of telletubbies.

Dakota Cassidy spins a tale with surprise plot twists and turns galore.  Once you’re hooked the story takes you on a fun journey through Bernie Sutton’s life as a witch parolee.  Bernie didn’t even know she was a witch until she landed in magic-abuse jail.  The surprises for Bernie keep coming as the riddle of how she became a witch unravels throughout the story.

Bernie is a great heroine.  Independent and caring, trying to make her way in this new and crazy world on her own.  Along the way she finds out she doesn’t have to be alone as the wonderful seniors of Paris, Texas take her under their wings.  The welcoming community of Paris helps get Bernie settled.

There is one resident that seems to do anything but settle Bernie and that would be her boss, Ridge Donovan.  She can’t stop thinking about him which leads to unsuspected witch shenanigans.  Ridge helps Bernie with more than just studying as they get to know one another.  I found the romance to be comfortable.  Their relationship was set on simmer and towards the end the heat was turned up.

While Bernie is lusting for Ridge and Ridge is lusting for Bernie there are evil people in the wings ready to ruin everything for them both.  Will all the witch training, studying, and reading Bernie did help save the day?  Find out in Witch Is The New Black.  You will not be disappointed in this fun read that has more of a happily-ever-after-for-now ending.  We can expect another installment in this series coming out in December 2015.  Hopefully we will see more of all of these characters then.

Reviewer:  Stacey Krug

Blurb/Summary:

Dakota Cassidy, USA Today bestselling author of The Accidental Dragon, brings you a laugh-out-loud romantic comedy Accidentally Aphrodite, Book 10 in the Accidentally Paranormal series. Get swept away to Greece in this international romp where you'll meet a few gods and goddesses, and fall in love with Quinn Morris as she transforms from a heartbroken mess to the goddess of love. 

Mythology buff Quinn Morris has always wanted to visit Greece, where her inner hardcore romantic envisioned proposing to her boyfriend. And she's finally here--with her friend Ingrid. She might not have found love at the Parthenon, thanks to her cheating ex, but she has found big boobies...and swirly purple eyes...and sparkling skin. Oh, and Greek hottie Khristos, who claims to be descended from a goddess and swears Quinn's the new Aphrodite. 

With help from Khristos, and support from Ingrid's employers--Nina, Wanda, and Marty--Quinn has to learn all the tricks of the matchmaking trade, STAT, lest she has her new friend Cupid sticking arrows in all the wrong places. All while dealing with her man-hating mother, guarding her own heart from Khristos, and protecting herself from an invisible foe who might want to snatch Quinn's newfound powers from her--dead or alive.

Review:

Once again Dakota Cassidy does not fail to suck the reader in on the first page of her latest book in the Accidental Series.  Accidentally Aphrodite is a fun story with a great plot, amazing new characters, and non-stop action and drama from beginning to end.

Dakota Cassidy takes creative license and puts a new spin on the Greek gods and goddesses.  The author cleverly sets some backstory so that the Greeks are ingrained into the Accidental family history.  We are also treated to all the main characters of the other Accidental books in this story which of course means hilarity ensues. 

Quinn Morris is the latest victim of a paranormal accident and she takes it in stride with lots of deflection and humor.  It was fun to see Quinn grow and evolve throughout the story from a vengeful ex-girlfriend to Aphrodite the goddess of love.

Khristos is the hero of the story that helps Quinn through the paranormal and emotional trauma of becoming Aphrodite.  Khristos too learns more about himself and what it is he wants out of life during his time mentoring Quinn.

Readers are kept on edge as to whether Quinn and Khristos will become a match.  Will they let their pasts get in the way of their future?  Will love prevail for our hero and heroine?  I’m not telling.  Go purchase the book.  The reading journey is worth it as I was unable to put it down until I was finished.

Accidentally Aphrodite is a fabulous edition to the Accidental Series!

Reviewer:  Stacey Krug 

 Blurb/Summary:
An American Werewolf in Hoboken-- 

Wooing a life mate can be hard enough for a wolf, wooing one while under the threat of a curse even more so. 

Wooing a mate while pretending to be her dog? Nearly impossible. 

After being drugged and captured by Animal Control, Max Adams is on Hoboken's doggie death row when his life mate adopts him, takes him home, and promptly names him Fluffy. While JC, in all her new-pet-owner-ness, feeds "Fluffy" vile kibble, dresses him in mortifying dog couture, and schedules to have his manhood removed, Max's human side gets to know JC. Especially in the biblical sense. 

Hopefully well enough to make her fall madly in love, mate with him under the full moon, and move with him to Cedar Glen to live happily ever after forever and ever amen. And fast. 

Because the curse comes with a deadline...and the clock is ticking. 

What’s New, Pussycat?-- 

Martine Brooks is in a pickle. Derrick Adams is in a jam. 

Pickles and jam. Not exactly a hot combo. Unless the "pickle" is a sultry, sassy cat shifter and the "jam" is a gorgeous hunk of wolf. 

Derrick is cursed to die if he doesn't make the woot-woot with his life mate on the night of the next full moon. Martine's been held captive by a power-hungry warlock for six long months, forced to do his bidding before finding herself stuffed in a cat carrier and ditched at a 7-Eleven. 

After rescuing her from a Dumpster, Derrick and Martine strike a mutually beneficial deal: Mate, save a life, walk away—both alive and kicking. Win! Yet, there are kinks in the plan. Like the fact that Martine's one-time captor is on the hunt, planning to extinguish all of her nine lives at once. Or the fact the curse threatening Derrick's life is about to throw him a monster curve ball. 

But the biggest kink might prove to be Derrick and Martine themselves, two avowed commitment-phoebes...who are beginning to wonder what forever looks like. 

Gotta Have Faith— 

Five years ago, Brock Adams disappeared from Cedar Glen, New Jersey, never to be seen or heard from again, leaving behind his wife Faith, his daughters…and two sons under a family curse. 

Give up everything. That was the deal. Give up his werewolf pack, his family and his immortality, in exchange for finally, finally ridding his sons of the deadly curse. But when a disguised Brock sneaks back into Cedar Glen, he finds the curse still very much in effect. He also bumps into Faith, who he aches for just as much now as the day he left. 

Coming back was a horrible idea. Winston, his foul-tempered fairy friend, told him so. But did Brock listen? Noooo. He’s listening to his heart and his libido, and both are begging for one more moment in Faith’s arms. So what if she doesn’t even know it’s really him? And one of his sons hates him? And he’ll have to leave again? And he has a vindictive witch on his trail…? 

***Author Note: Dear readers, Please note, if you recognize these titles, these books, originally published in 2006, are a rerelease and have been updated, revised and expanded.

Review:

These books are awesome on their own, but it was so much more fun to read them in the box set one right after the other.  The three stories; An American Werewolf in Hoboken, What’s New, Pussycat?, and Gotta Have Faith are all interrelated and surrounding the Adams Family curse.  I promise not to give away too much, but basically the Adams men have to go on a journey to find their life mates.  The journey is always fraught with danger, the possibility of failure, and imminent death.  Never fear though, Dakota Cassidy’s characters laugh in the face of death and are forced to do all kinds of crazy things in the name of love.

The first story is about Max and JC.  Both strong and confident characters that will make you laugh.  In the second story we meet Derrick and Martine.  Both pig-headed and stubborn characters that have to learn to trust.  In the last story we get Faith and Brock’s tale.  Faith and Brock are Max and Derrick’s parents.  They are the epitome of loyalty. 

Each story has a great plot with twists and turns.  Some plot twists are more like mini tornados that will leave your jaw on the floor.  Every couple has their hot, hot, hot moments some a little more scorching than others. 

As a reader, I really liked how each story built upon the previous one while you learned more about all the characters and the Cedar Glen townsfolk.  There are some very colorful secondary characters that I would love to see get their own story someday.

These three stories did not disappoint.  Each had a thrilling part, sexy part, mystery/suspense part, and ended with a HEA part.  Now how they got to that HEA part I’m not going to expand upon because that is the meat of the stories and the journey you must take with these fun characters.  I highly recommend the Wolf Mates Box Set.

Blurb/Summary:

Vampire Liam McConnell was inches away from striking a deal with Angus Sweeten, the foulest, scariest, evilest demon in the land, who holds the key to the synthetic blood Liam’s clan so desperately needs. But that was before Sweeten became sweet on a certain ex-werewolf-turned-vamp. Now the demon wants the impossible. A trade Liam can’t live with… 

The synthetic blood formula in exchange for Freya Ashe—Liam’s mate. 

With Freya’s ex-pack members calling for her head, a sly she-wolf on the prowl with her own agenda, half his clan turned against him and a shifty demon’s sights set on his mate, Liam will have to rely on his Fangs of Anarchy brothers to help get him and Freya—and maybe a few others—through the chaos alive. 

*Author note: Dear readers, this is part five of a five-part serial and not intended as a stand-alone read.

Review:

Justified – Part 5 is the conclusion to Fangs of Anarchy: Book 2 – Outlaw Alpha.  Justice is served up in this episode and readers get the HEA ending that followers of the series have been waiting on.

Episode four was a little slow with more relationship building than plot.  However, episode five makes up for it in spades.  Justified is non-stop action and plot resolution.  The answers to all the lingering questions are brought to light.  No spoilers here, read the story and enjoy the experience like I did.

Frey and Liam make a great vampire team.  Go team Freyum!  Dakota Cassidy’s sarcastic wit abounds throughout this final episode.  Freya became one of my favorite characters in the Fangs of Anarchy series because of her witty mouth.

If you are looking for a HEA vampire/werewolf romance series with humor and a great plot then be sure to check out the Fangs of Anarchy series.

Reviewer:  Stacey Krug

Blurb/Summary:

How much trouble can one woman get into? Especially when her favorite past-time is quilting? Well, Freya Ashe is turning out to be an atypical ex-litigating ex-werewolf. There’s the newly turned vampire thing and the murder thing and the going-on-the-lam thing. Oh, and the sex thing with the hot-on-hot Liam McConnell, her new vampire mate. 

And when a terrifying demon drops by and issues a few friendly death threats, Freya discovers just how clueless she’s become, how disconnected to everything and everyone around her. That’s was all those Law & Order marathons will get you. Seems her would-be werewolf mate, Courtland Dodd, is nice and tight with the demon Angus Sweeten. The very pile of nasty Liam has been trying to meet with. And he’s this close. 

With intrigue around every corner and a slew of alleged misdeeds piled on Freya’s slender shoulders, she and Liam better be careful. If you make a deal with a devil like Angus, everyone might go up in flames. 

*Author note: Dear readers, this is part four of approximately a five-part serial. You know what that means? That’s right—cliffhangers (cue evil music). But wait! Before you hate, I hear anticipation is good for your complexion, and even your hair. I don’t know if that’s true or just a rumor, but is it worth the risk? Nonetheless, I solemnly swear to keep the stories coming swiftly, so your heads don’t asp lode from waiting! 

Review:

This episode of Fangs of Anarchy 2--Outlaw Alpha: The Ultimatum Part 4 picks up in the tavern with Liam being confronted by Cortland and Petra.  Meanwhile, in the woods, Freya is coming face to face with Angus the demon.

Right from the very first scene in this episode the reader just knows that Petra is going to cause all kinds of drama over being humiliated.  Petra is going to try with everything she is to bring someone down with her.

Liam is still playing Courtland and, as a reader, I am on pins and needles hoping his actions don’t come back to bite him in the butt.  Only time will tell and the next episode.

I was so proud of Freya!  She acted nothing like Claire from the previous Fangs of Anarchy book.  Freya didn’t wait around for someone to come and save her, she took action.  Freya is a wonderful heroine and strong female character.

During this episode things really heat up between Liam and Freya.  It becomes hot, hot, and then scorching hot.  There was a little bit of plot movement and a maneuvering of characters, but this episode was really more of a cementing of Liam and Freya’s relationship.  We also see the beginnings of what eternity means to each of them in regards to the other.

As always, Dakota leaves us hanging with a massive plot bomb waiting to explode.  Don’t miss this episode or you will be lost in the next one.

Blurb/Summary:

Firefighter McAllister "Mick" Malone knows he has a protective streak, especially when it comes to his deceased best friend's sister, Tessa. But after twenty-five years of verbal sparring, Mick can't help but notice that their recent arguments have started to feel a lot like foreplay. And while Tessa knows exactly what to say to get him going, Mick is thrown for a loop when he actually starts breathing fire.

Antique-store owner Tessa Preston has loved Mick Malone since she was ten years old—not that she'd ever admit it. Fighting with Mick is the only thing keeping her from an embarrassing romantic confession. But when the sexy firefighter accidentally ingests some ancient dragon scales masquerading as powdered aspirin, Tessa finds herself handling something much hotter than long-simmering sexual tension.

Review:

First, if you are not familiar with the Accidental Series please take note that The Accidental Dragon is Book 9 of the series.  As a reader that likes reading series in order that is what I would suggest, but I know that some people don’t mind reading out of order.  You can read this out of order just be prepared for spoilers from the other books.

Second, run don’t walk to the nearest bookstore and snag your copy as soon as it comes out.  If you are a kindle person then one-click away.  This book was so much more than I expected!

I dare you not to fall in love with these newest additions to the Accidental family.  McAllister (Mick) Malone and Tessa Preston are incredible and handle all the “crazy” with a healthy dose of humor.  Both the hero and heroine are centered and strong, just struggling to make it on their own, each with their own set of heavy baggage.  Mick has been in love with Tessa since they were kids.  Tessa has been in love with Mick since she was a child.  However, they don’t do normal and just talk.  They fight like cats and dogs and now they fight like dragons!

The Accidental Dragon is almost a family reunion of sorts because they have to call on so many different friends to help solve the Dragon mystery.  It has an awesome plot complete with wonderful twists, a snarky, evil Nina, and her badass friends Wanda and Marty.  To my delight, this book brings in previous characters with some slight background, but don’t worry the plot moves forward full speed ahead with constant action and adventure.  You’ll be glued to the story and turning those pages as fast as you can.

Without spoilers, The Accidental Dragon is about friends that become lovers and overcome their tragic pasts that have been holding them back.  Mick and Tessa’s journey is heart-wrenching and beautiful.  Just have some Kleenex nearby.  This story had me crying and laughing.

I love a book with an epilogue because you get to see how the characters you just fell in love with are adjusting to their new lives.  Dakota Cassidy doesn’t disappoint on this front either.

The Accidental Dragon is a wonderful story and I can’t wait to see where the Accidental families end up next!

Blurb/Summary:

Werewolf Freya Ashe—ex-attorney, current quilter—thought things couldn’t get worse after being chosen at the latest mate call by Courtland Dodd, the greasiest, smelliest, dumbest werewolf in forty-nine states. 

Until she’s drugged. And accidentally turned into a vampire. And accused of murder. Aaaand, because she’s clearly won the bad-luck lottery, targeted by a lynch mob. 

With the help of her newly acquired vampire mate, the sexy and surly Liam McConnell, Freya’s on the lam, unable to trust her own foggy memories and desperate to discover who’s got it in for her. But a small-town enemy could be the least of her problems. Especially when someone truly evil comes calling… 

*Author note: Dear readers, this is part three of approximately a five-part serial. You know what that means? That’s right—cliffhangers (cue evil music). But wait! Before you hate, I hear anticipation is good for your complexion, and even your hair. I don’t know if that’s true or just a rumor, but is it worth the risk? Nonetheless, I solemnly swear to keep the stories coming swiftly, so your heads don’t asp lode from waiting!

Review:

Part three of Fangs of Anarchy: Fugitives has Freya and Liam on the run.  I’ll try not to spoil anyone’s fun, but the town thinks Freya has done something heinous and she can’t remember what she did or did not do.  Hence, Liam gets them both out of town until they can get to the truth.

Freya is lucky to have her friend Claire and Liam looking out for her.  Claire if you will remember in Fangs of Anarchy 1 really knows how to find trouble and not be able to get out of it without help.  It’s nice to see her nut up and help Freya who finds herself in much the same predicament.

This book episode raised more questions than it answered.  Who committed the heinous act?  Who is trying to frame Freya and why? Why is Liam living so close to the Zone?  What is Liam doing for Courtland Dodd?  Why have they become so close?

Even though there are a lot of unanswered questions, Dakota Cassidy gives us a sneak peek near the end at who might have set up everyone.  We could be in for a couple of major plot twists in the next episode.

Again we are left with the mother of all cliff-hangers.  Hurry up and catch up in this series so you’ll be ready for the next episode!
