Too short! I was so hungry for the continuation that I read the book in one sitting. It was exciting; it could have used a little more depth, but I enjoyed it immensely. The ghost dog, who/what was the purpose? What's next for the Werewolves of Wall Street? I eagerly await the next installment!
I loved the inclusion of a deaf wolf as the MMC. Noah is an independent and strong wolf. He doesn't know he is an Alpha. Aster is an equally strong woman who has strong ethics.
I enjoyed the entire book. I wouldn't mind if Esme had her own wolf-shifter romance. I would love to see her character develop.
I love every book she's written!
Aster is an seeress for the Adalwulf pack who has never been treated with kindness or respect. When she replaces the old seeress died will be binded to the current Alpha in the blood bonding ritual. Noah is a lone wolf who happens to be deaf. Noah works for the Blackthroat pack but refuses to join. Noah is hoping to join the Adalwulf pack for personnel reasons. Aster and Noah are having dreams/visions of each other. Noah knows that Aster is the key to his success and uses the dreams to find her at the Gem and Mineral Museum where he slips a tracker on her. When Noah steals a mystical artifact, thawing the Adalulf alphas plans it puts him at odds with Brick Blackthroat. Running out of time Noah kidnaps Aster from her "cage" and realizes she is his fated mate. The problem is he can never claim her or she loses her seerer powers. Aster's visions show that Noah will be the downfall of her pack. She must learn to interpret her visions for the betterment of the pack. As the Alpha Rites ritual fastly approaches, Noah and Aster work together to stop this barbaric practice. However, time is running out when Noah finds out his sister is scheduled to take part. When the plan partially fails, Noah realizes he must have the backing of a pack and reaches out to Brick. Without given to much away, there were twist and turns and a "cliffhanger " that make me wonder who is going to continuing this story. I throughly enjoyed reading this book and cannot wait for the next installment.

love fated mates and Aster and Noah were wonderfully written, a puzzle to solve. In no way I was it easy to find her but kept calling on him.
This was exciting and dangerous being a lone wolf is not safe but Noah and his strengh and abilities payed out.
Such a great story! I love these stories so much.
The book fit right into the rest of the series. A lot of action. Significant self sacrifice on the MFC part. It was a medium burn but the reason for that was a major plot point. When they finally get together graphic hotness. I enjoyed it.
Excellent book. I liked the way Renee and Lee wrote this book to not only incorporate previous characters but to give us updates on those people. If you enjoy Wolf-Shifter heroes who are over-protective and loving and heroines that are independent and fierce, youwill love this book.
Loved it!
This was the perfect mix of Romance, plot, spice and banter.
Noah is working with the Blackthorne Pack in NYC, but has never truly become part of the pack. He has dreams of Aster, who is the Seeress for the Adawulf pack.
The Adawulf Pack treats women horribly, and Noah sees Aster in his dreams imprisoned and starving.
Their rituals to produce an heir are barbaric.
The Blackthorne Pack, meanwhile treats women like like equals.
Noah and Aster meet and realize theyy are Fated Mates. They need to work together to help the women of Adawulf.
Along the way we meet members of both packs, as well as Esme who helps Noah in a daring theft.
This was the perfect length and the writing (as always for Renee and Lee) was top tier.
I loved it! Noah is the 'wolf without ears', the rightful heir to the vicious Adalwulf pack. He's a noble hero who only wants to rescue his mother from them, a formidable task. He will need the aid of his newly discovered mate, Aster, a woman with a beautiful spirit, raised to become the seeress for the Adalwulfs, and desperate to escape all the horror that comes with it. This story doesn't focus on the Blackthroat pack as in previous books in the series, although they do play a significant part in the outcome, but provides a lot more insight into the Adalwulfs.
The connection between Noah and Aster is heartfelt and captivating. The steamy story is engaging and heartwarming but also with it's fair share of danger and suspense. The writing, by master storytellers Renee Rose and Lee Savino, as always, is superb. I couldn't put it down.
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
A little darker than the other books and I loved it. Asher’s Adawulf pack is dark and despicable. So meeting her outsider fated mate, should have been her happily ever after. But her ties as Seeress and desire to truly help her female pack mates turn their instalove into an adventure that will keep you tied to book until the end. From the beginning I was rooting for Noah, the lone wolf trying to set things right. So when he finally meets Asher in person, I just had to read on to make sure he got his happily ever after. Renee and Lee never fail to produce perfection. They are always a must read.
Shallow characters
Aster overheard a prophecy ten years ago: the deaf wolf needed to be put down because he would be the beginning of a war. Now, years later, she serves as the seer for the Adulwulfs clan. Aiden demands a true vision from her during the next lunar eclipse and insists she touch the clan’s newest acquisition at the Gem and Mineral Museum—the Tiara of Ix-Chel—believing it will amplify her powers.
Meanwhile, Noah has been watching Aster ever since he saw her at Brick and Madi’s wedding. There’s something familiar about her, especially when the two begin dreamwalking into each other’s dreams. Noah’s original plan to steal the tiara quickly changes after he discovers Aster locked away in a tower, convulsing. Protecting her becomes more important than the mission, though the growing temptation between them only complicates things.
Noah is such a heartbreaking hero. Abandoned by his mother and born deaf, he was raised by his Nan and eventually found a place within the Blackthroat Company. His desire to save his mother while seeking answers about why she left him pulls at your emotions.
Aster’s journey was equally compelling. She has always followed Oma’s guidance and bowed to the alpha, but she slowly begins questioning that guidance. Her feelings for Noah threaten her visions, and the emotional conflict heightens the tension in the storyline.
While Aster’s visions felt frustratingly unclear, this added to the suspense. When she’s eventually forced to choose between prophecy and her heart, her decision changes everything.
This instalment not only delivered an emotional romance between Noah and Aster, but also set the stage for even bigger conflicts, deeper pack dynamics, and more revelations to come in future books.
I was gifted an ARC of this book and am leaving a personal review.
Renee has a way of captivating your attention and drawing you into her characters story,till you feel you are a part of it.I want to know how to get a werewolf of my own.
I absolutely LOVE this series. But this book can also be read stand alone! Noah is a lone wolf shifter who arrived in town without announcing himself to either the Brickthroat nor the Adalwulf packs. He is employed at with the Brickthroats at Moon Co. and meets Aster who is a human. This tale of Noah and their relationship is heartwarming and exciting. Don't want to say more so there are no spoilers. I Highly recommend it!
Aster was the seer for the Adalwolf pack of wolf shifters after her grandmother died, supposed to be bonded to the head of the pack Aiden, but she knew from overhearing conversations that Aiden wasn't the true heir, but a deaf wolf who was ordered to be murdered was Oden's heir...Noah was a lone wolf who joined the team of Brick Blackthroat's Moon Company...a graduate of Harvard and through friendship became a Moon Co. Bro. All the top company men learned ASL since Noah was deaf...but he never joined Brick's pack, partly because he was actually an Adalwolf who wanted to free his mother from a cult run by that pack...so he needed to find her, then create a diversion to free his mother...but was thunderstruck when he saw his fated mate, Aster...but you will need to read this intense and sometimes hilarious story of Noah and Aster with comic relief provided by a friend of Noah's, Esme the witch and bear triplets...I voluntarily read this book through an Advanced Reader Copy.
Aster is the seeress for the Adalwulf clan and destined to be blood bonded to their leader Aiden. Aiden is cruel and not taking good care of his clan. Aster sees Noah in dreams. Noah is deaf and was taken from his mother exiled as a baby from Adalwulf clan. Aster can remember hearing about this baby when she was a child and in training as a seeress. Noah is working with the Blackthroat clan and they are very kind to him. Learning ASL and hoping he will ask to join their clan. But he is just trying to get closer to the Adawulfs to get answers for the past. Aster and Noah meet and find they are fated mates. Together they will help take Aiden down once and for all! Exciting, action packed and lots of romance!
I love the seer elements, but my favorite parts were the grandmothers. They offered their views and let the seeresses do as they will with their information. I so love loved the grandmas.
Hold on to your seats. This is an intense love story for Noah and Aster.
Alphas, lost mother, Seeress seeing visions. Grandmothers of long past send Noah and Aster on a journey through life, to find their destiny.
