3.0 out of 5 stars The Mystic Wolves January 23, 2012

By Vanessa

Format:Kindle Edition

The Mystic Wolves is the previously released first three novellas of the Mystic Wolves series, Without Mercy, Cherished, and Blood Oath. They have been bundled into one book.

The Mystic Wolves is one hell of an emotional roller coaster ride, told from Darcy's point of view. She is the future mate of
the Mystic Wolves Alpha Mason. Darcy is full spirited and enjoying life hanging out with her friends and pack mates, playing football and enjoying backyard grill parties when one small choice to go to the store changes everything she knows. Attacked and left to make choices that she never imagined she would have to make in her lifetime Darcy fights for her life. She loses something in the fight and begins to doubt all that she is.

Mason is the perfect Alpha. He helps Darcy through a horrible tragedy. He reminds her of all the reasons that he loves her, why he has accepted her as his mate, and that together they can get through this guilt that is affecting both of them. In return Darcy helps him with the stress that he is going through as Alpha, the blaming himself for the attack, the guilt he is experiencing over the consequences of his choices. Darcy and Mason are excellently matched! The love they feel for each other is an almost tangible element to this book.

Readers are swiftly moved into the working of the pack as they discover that the attack was not an isolated event. The Mystic Wolf pack must now unite to find out who would want to harm members of their pack and why. The overall flow of the book moves readers at a fast pace where the pages don't stop flying by.

Stop at this point if you are not interested in reading a potential spoiler. I would have easily given this book a 4 star rating had I not had the following two elements presented to me at the last minute.

The last paragraph of the book is a woman that Mason knows (I'm assuming from his past) showing up on his doorstep. She throws herself into his arms declaring that she is his future mate. This combines two elements I hate in a book. The first is a cliffhanger. The second is a potential triangle. The declaration of I'm your mate may ratchet up the sexual tension, but it really ruins a romance for me. This may just be a personal preference on my part. Also, the fact that Darcy is a virgin and her and Mason is impatiently awaiting their mating ceremony to consummate things has brought the sexual tension up anyhow. It made the other woman seem very random to me.

1.0 out of 5 stars I pretty much hated it... June 21, 2012

By MandyKay

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I downloaded this for free with my kindle app, and I'm glad I didn't pay anything for it. I'm assuming the ratings are so good on this book because everyone who hated it, like I did, couldn't bare to finish it.

I really had my mind set on finishing it no matter no bad it turned out, but I just couldn't. I stopped after Chapter 3 because it was so poorly written. The football game in the beginning had way too many pointless details, and their little romance scenes were too forced. Then, all of the sudden, a gunman appears. There was no build up at all and I didn't feel any connection. The characters were all so juvenile they sounded like annoying teenagers, giggling and squealing all the time. I didn't build a relationship with anyone in the story and actually hated them, especially the main character. I wouldn't even recommend this to the YA readers.

If it's free, you could try reading it, but if it isn't, don't waste your money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it! January 22, 2012

By Amber I @ AwesomeSauce

Format:Kindle Edition

Without Mercy-

My only complaint, that it ended too fast. In just a short novella we got everything you would want from a full length novel. This story was pretty intense from the beginning and had you glued to it the whole way through.

I really hope Belinda writes more about these wolves. Darcy was a very strong character and I instantly loved her when she put herself before Jasmine. Then there is also Mason, who I am dying to get to know. (So Bel if you read this pretty please write more with these characters.)

This is a perfect book for anyone who loves reading Urban Fantasy.

Cherished-
After reading the first book, I was so excited to read Cherished so I could get more time with Mason! And holy crap, did he blow any expectation I had of him out of the water. He was just so much more then I could have wanted.

Cherished is so full of love and passion. Both Mason and Darcy are trying to deal with the sadness of what happened in the first book. Mason really goes above an beyond to make her feel okay even though he is hurting too. He is just so passionate and caring and you can't help but love him. The sexual tension these two have is on the extreme side! I am marking my calendar until their mating bond.lol.

It was a great book really giving you time to see just how connected and in love these two are. We only got a brief glimpse in the first book. I was glad for the time to fully see these two together because who knows what the next book will hold. And I can not wait to read it!!

Blood Oath-

I love this series!! And I am so happy to have heard the news that book 4 will be a full length novel because my only complaint so far is that these books end to soon!!

Blood Oath brought me to tears and made me laugh out load. The story was intense from the beginning. The story will have you hooked. Mason and Darcy relationship is beautiful they are both funny and loving and every second they are together you will cherish. The funeral was incredibly sad and will have you tearing up. I loved getting to know some new characters and seeing more of the pack together.

I don't to give to much away but these are must reads for any paranormal book lover!! Trust me on this you will love these books!!
