Exciting!, April 9, 2006
Quinn is a werewolf that has traveled from his home in Ireland to the United States to meet with the Council, the governing body of the Others. The Others are non-human races; vampires, werewolves, witches etc. Before the important meeting takes place, the tantalizing scent of honeysuckle has Quinn distracted and searching for its source. He can't fight his desire for the sweet scent and he abruptly leaves to find it.
Cassidy, a werefox, is taking a break from the meeting when she hears growling. She turns to find Quinn hiding in the shadows staring at her. Cassidy runs and Quinn chases, each shifting in to their Other forms. She manages to get away but she ends up coming face to face with Quinn again soon after, when she is brought unwillingly to the Council's emergency meeting.
The mistress of a very powerful vampire has been kidnapped and the group thought to have taken her, The Light of Truth, could expose the Others to the humans now. The Council decides that, because Cassidy is an anthropologist, her extensive knowledge of human culture will be useful in finding more information about The Light Of Truth. She will be working closely along side Quinn as well. Right away Quinn and Cassidy's relationship becomes intimate.
It's a race against time for Cassidy and Quinn to find the ones responsible for the kidnapping and to stop their evil plans before the Others are exposed and Cassidy's loved ones are harmed as well.
Wolf At The Door is jam-packed with mystery, thrills and it's full of fascinating characters. Quinn is incredibly sexy and Cassidy is strong and intelligent. Their passion is scorching! This story draws you in with a familiar time and setting and then it's blended with an edge of the supernatural. Christine Warren does paranormal stories so well, and Wolf At The Door is no exception. This new series is proving to be a very entertaining and exciting one!

Read the eBooks first, August 14, 2006
While this novel can be read as a stand-alone book, much of the background and characters are not well fleshed out as they have their own stories in the authors "Fixed" series of eBooks published by Ellora's Cave.
If you prefer not to start in the middle of a series, I highly recommend you download the other stories first. Book 5 of the Fixed series - Fur For All - is Rafeael De Santos and Tess' story.

Like It, Don't Like It, Like It..., April 2, 2006
As a whole, I like this book. The characters could have used some more development to bring about more depth. They were what I would call sufficient, but they would have been stunning had they been better developed. The plot was predictable. The theme of supernatural beings on the verge of being discovered by humans is quite popular in this genre at the moment. If you're looking for a book with some intense "romantic moments" between total strangers who are in touch with their inner beasts this may be the book for you. There is a rush and lack of details about this book that make it seem more like an expanded short story than an actual novel. I pre-ordered the next novel in the series.
