Dakota Cassidy, Fangs of Anarchy: Book 2 Outlaw Alpha - Part 5 - Justified

Title:  Fangs of Anarchy: Book 2 Outlaw Alpha – Part 5 - Justified

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.

Dakota Cassidy, Fangs of Anarchy 2 - Outlaw Alpha: The Ultimatum Part 4


Title:  Fangs of Anarchy 2--Outlaw Alpha: The Ultimatum Part 4

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.

Dakota Cassidy, Fangs of Anarchy Book 2: Outlaw Alpha Part 1 - Bound

Blurb/Summary:

Forced into a paranormal settlement and dealing with arcane, sexist mate calls, werewolf Freya Ashe—ex-attorney, current quilter—thought life couldn’t suck more. Unless she factored in her hunger for the sinfully luscious Liam McConnell—which she didn’t. Nope. Uh-uh. Not at all. When you want someone you can’t have, denial is the best policy. 

And on top of all that suck, the inconceivable has happened—Freya was chosen at the latest mate call. By the greasiest, smelliest, dumbest werewolf every to rub two brain cells together—Courtland Dodd. She’d rather chug battery acid than mate with the vile pack alpha, but in Freya’s world, it’s either surrender or suffer. 

Surly vampire Liam McConnell thought he’d lost everything when the government segregated paranormals. He was wrong. In recent months, he’s been kicked out of his biker club, Fangs of Anarchy, and shunned by his very family. He’ll be damned if he’s going to lose the one woman he lusts for above all others—even if she is forbidden. 

*Author note: Dear readers, this is part one 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 asplode from waiting! 


Review:

This is the second book in the Fangs of Anarchy series and the first part in a five part serial.  In Outlaw Alpha Part One – Bound, we are thrust back into the unfair world that has separated humans and paranormals.  Upsetting and upending the paranormal’s lives making them all have to start over and forcing them back into an antiquated way of life.

Dakota Cassidy had me laughing on the first page.  She knows how to put a snarky spin on a serious situation.  Ms. Cassidy created a cast of characters that make decisions and act, only to think later.  They provide wonderful plot twists and antics for us to enjoy.

Bound is a fast moving, action packed beginning to this serial that will suck you in on the first page and spit you out at the end longing for the next part.

The main characters in this story are Freya Ashe and Liam McConnell.  Freya is Claire Montgomery’s best friend and Liam is Irish McConnell’s brother, both characters that starred in the first Fangs of Anarchy book. 

In Bound we see that both Freya and Liam suffer from the green-eyed monster when it comes to seeing their best friend and brother so happy.  However, jealousy is a really bad reason to act rash and jump in with both feet before looking.  The consequences for their actions will be dealt with in the next episode since this is a serial with a cliff-hanger.


If you enjoy other stories by Dakota Cassidy or just like paranormal romance then I would recommend this story.

Blurb/Summary:

Oh, Claire’s really done it now. As if her week hasn’t been bad enough, what with the blood and the drowning and the head bashing and the intense sex… Okay, that last one was pretty awesome. But now she’s gone and got herself caught in the clutches of a paranormal so evil, he makes Satan look like a sissy. This baddest of all baddies is her key to beating a murder rap—if he doesn’t kill her first. 

Where’s a bloodsucking knight on shining chrome when you need one? 

Tonight, at long last, fangs will flash, fur will fly, heads will roll, and dastardly deeds will be revealed in this heart-pounding, breath-holding, secret-exploding final episode of Fangs of Anarchy—Forbidden Alpha! 

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

**This book is intended for adults over 18. Contains some explicit content. 

Review:

Dakota Cassidy starts us right off from the cliff-hanger in part four.  It’s a dark place to start.  Even though I questioned Claire’s ability to take care of herself in parts one-four, I was worried for her anyway.

The darkness and plot continues and builds into a crescendo of war and battle.  I’m relieved to see that Claire redeems herself and lives up to being a werewolf, finally!

Even through the darkness and war, Claire and Irish’s love rings true.  There was a good balance of hot steamy romance and sarcastic humor to keep the dark story line in check.

As with the previous parts of Fangs of Anarchy, the secondary characters play pivotal roles in part five as well.  The readers get the full story as it all comes together in this final book episode.  Dakota Cassidy does not disappoint with plot twists and surprises to the very end.  As a reader, I was very satisfied with the ending and how it all came together.

This may be the end of Irish and Claire’s story, but the author left plenty of other characters to explore in this world and an ongoing plot to be revisited.

Blurb/Summary:

Claire Montgomery’s heart is in the right place. It is. Honest! Now if only she’d stop doing things that could make her heart stop beating forever… 

He might as well admit it. Irish McConnell can’t stay away from Claire, no matter what all the rules say. And anyway, clan and pack politics have nothing on the fine mess he and Claire have gotten themselves into. From missing corpses to dastardly deals in the dreaded Zone, to a vital piece of information about what happened the night Gannon Dodd was murdered, they’ve jumped from the frying pan into the fiery pits of hell. 

But even that can’t compare to the combustible heat generated by this sexy, forbidden paranormal pair.

Review:

In the Zone is part 4 of the Fangs of Anarchy series.  The plot and series are coming to a head.  We find out some answers to the burning questions from parts 1 through 3 of the series.  Most importantly we find out why Claire Montgomery was driven to do the most awful thing to Gannon Dodd in part 1.

Irish McConnell saves Claire yet again.  Really, this girl is quite naïve.  We learn that Irish has some contacts within the Zone that might be able to help them.  Claire first has to start trusting that Irish can do more than save her sorry butt from the trouble she keeps getting into.  For a werewolf, Claire’s instincts stink.

Right after some steamy love scenes between Irish and Claire we are left with another cliff-hanger.  One in which Claire’s werewolf instincts should have helped her out a bit.  Instead we are left knowing she needs saving once more.  Don’t get me wrong.  I really like Claire Montgomery, but as a librarian she should have been reading up on how to be a better werewolf!

Thus far this has been an exciting book opera.  I look forward to seeing how Dakota Cassidy wraps up this series and what she has in store for Irish and Claire.

Blurb/Summary:

While Irish McConnell and Claire Montgomery try to hide their sizzling attraction for one another, and in order to keep the peace between his vampire clan and her werewolf pack, Claire begins to dig deeper into the mystery surrounding the very bad thing she's done (it's really bad!) based on a rather obscure clue. 

To follow the clue, she makes plans to immerse herself in a place Irish would never allow her to go into alone, but in an effort to keep him out of her troubles with her pack, Claire makes a choice that could end up getting her killed. 

But Irish has his hands full, too, because his efforts to protect Claire have gone very awry...

Review:

This is part three in the Fangs of Anarchy Serial.  Things are heating up to a critical point.  The Clan’s blood supply is in jeopardy because of Irish’s actions against Courtland in parts one and two.  Irish saves Claire’s life yet again!  Talk about a damsel in distress, Claire’s picture is next to the definition in Webster’s.

If that wasn’t enough drama don’t worry, Dakota Cassidy has spun a romance of impossibility between Irish and Claire.  Vampires and Werewolves are not supposed to mate or date.  However, the hero and heroine cannot keep their hands off one another or stop thinking about each other.  This can only lead to war between the Clan and Pack.  Definitely more drama and better than a soap opera!

This episode of Fangs of Anarchy included a hot, steamy love scene between Irish and Claire.  Mystery surrounding Irish and Liam’s sister Hadley.  Tension between Irish and Liam.  Suspense and mystery surrounding Gannon Dodd’s body and another great cliff-hanger.

The Fangs of Anarchy Serial is a fun read and something to look forward to.

Blurb/Summary:

If Irish McConnell wasn’t so hot for Claire Montgomery, he’d muzzle her pretty werewolf mouth and tie her to his bed forever. No one would blame him. It’s the only way to keep her out of trouble… 

Claire’s done a bad thing, the consequences of which point to more badness in her immediate future. And possibly Irish’s future…and the future of both his vampire clan and her wolf pack. But Claire’s determined to fix everything. All she has to do is find proof to justify her actions, avoid the drunken threats of her pack alpha, and stave off a race war between the vamps and weres. Easy-peasy. 

The hard part? Staying away from her favorite forbidden vampire. Especially hard when he’s saving her hide every five seconds.

Review:

So the saga continues with part two of Fangs of Anarchy: Girl Most Lycan, bringing with it some laugh out loud humor, tension, and a bit of mystery.  The story is still focused on Irish McConnell and Claire Montgomery.  In this episode they are dealing with a very angry Courtland Dodd, brother to the missing Gannon Dodd.  Courtland wants answers and he’s not above accusing Claire without evidence.  Irish tries to divert Courtland and his thugs to give Claire more time and fair handling.  Let’s not forget to mention that Irish would love some more time with Claire as well.

As the story unfolds, the reader is treated to more background information on some of the characters regarding their lives before the government confined them in communities.  Irish’s brother Liam is a secondary character that we get to know better.  As well as Freya, Claire’s best friend. 

The story ends with another cliff-hanger keeping the reader on edge until the next episode.  Fangs of Anarchy as a serial has some great plot and character development going on.  Dakota Cassidy’s writing style and humor makes it easy to tune back in and pick up where the story left off.

 Blurb/Summary:

Fangs of Anarchy-Killing The Alpha: Part One—Alpha Down 

Irish McConnell would give his immortality for a taste of Claire Montgomery. But the Fangs of Anarchy leader can’t risk his biker club, his vampire clan, or his tenuous truce with werewolf Gannon Dodd, Claire’s pack alpha—and her intended mate. Nope. Vamps and weres don’t mix, and Irish has managed to keep that in mind for five long, lust-filled years. 

But now Claire’s gone and done something really, really (really!) bad, guaranteeing her doom if she’s ever found out. Truce be damned, Irish won’t leave her unprotected, despite the fact this is one murder-filled bundle of trouble he doesn’t need. 

And unfortunately for Irish, the trouble’s just beginning… 

*Author note: Dear readers, this is part one 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 asplode from waiting! 

**This book is intended for adults over 18. Contains some explicit content.

Review:

This is the beginning of a multi-part series.  New episodes will release approximately every two to three weeks.  This book is not meant to be read as a standalone story.

Irish has longed for Claire for five years.  Claire has been promised to another alpha werewolf as his mate.  Claire not being real keen on that plan took matters into her own hands and it gets a little messy.

Vampires and werewolves don’t mix, but when Irish stumbles across Claire and her mess, he can’t help wanting to protect her.  Irish comes to Claire’s rescue more than once and then they finally have it out.  Neither one can resist any more.  Their attraction and chemistry are palpable.  Claire and Irish light up the pages with their doomed love making.

The hero and heroine are very likable characters and as a reader I rooted for them.  The evil characters are evident and quite loathsome.  There are some plots within plots waiting to be hatched in this serial story. 

Fangs of Anarchy: Killing the Alpha (Part One) was easy to get sucked into.  The characters are being developed right before our eyes as the plot unfolds.  Readers even get a new world to play in with Dakota Cassidy.  A plot twist at the end will have readers holding their breath until the next episode.

This story is part of a serial, and Dakota Cassidy knew right where to leave us hanging for more.  These serial books seem to be all the rage right now and are kind of like soap operas.  Readers will want to tune into this book opera to see what happens next!
