Amazing series - I want more!, September 27, 2006
This review is from: The Wolves Den (Paperback)
It has been a long three weeks for Samantha Houston. First she found out she was part vampire, then became one and was promptly infected by a werewolf. She now has two weeks left to find the werewolf who infected her, and drift with him or they will both die.
However Samantha doesn't have time to mourn the loss of her humanity as both the vampires and werewolves are trying to kill her. Working with Sevastian, they conjure the "Dark Avenger" Samantha's only hope to even live long enough to find Ty. Then there is the vampire Sion Baptiste...the man she both craves and would like to see really dead.
But all Samantha really wants to do is get revenge.
YES! YES! Tamara Gray has had me chomping at the bit to know what would happen next and well, I want the next book... now! I really enjoy her writing style; I find it quirky, upbeat and I love the subtle little descriptive words she adds to her characters that make them more realistic.
Like the first story, THE WOLVES DEN is very fast paced and a lot happens in a very short amount of time. This story is also very action oriented but it has many violent altercations, where our heroine would have died had she not already been immortal. However, I found myself laughing at various different things that happened as well. For example, I got a good laugh out of her growing list of people she wants to kill, when she has the time.
There have been some comparisons made to Laurel K Hamilton's stories. I've never read one, so I can't answer this. I can tell you that Samantha is a very strong, independent woman who while has admitted she loves Sion Baptiste, can't stand the vampire. This story seems to focus on her search for Ty - the werewolf who infected her. While she does find him, a battle breaks out and she inadvertently sends him to (I think) the innards of Earth to save him. So this is still unresolved, hence, I need the next book!!
As a reader, we start learning, as Samantha learns, what it means to be a vampire as well as the prophecy she is a part of; often with humorous results. We also get to find out more about the mysterious and evil dracomeres. I really liked the Dark Avenger; he fits the description of tall dark and mysterious. At first he wasn't what I was expecting but my opinion changed when Sam actually needed him.
I would highly recommend reading Tamara Gray's stories in order, the first being THE SILVER FANG, because there is no back story to catch you up on the events you would have missed out on by not having read the first book. THE WOLVES DEN is an awesome story, and this is definitely an author you won't want to miss!

Better THAN THE FIRST, August 3, 2006
This review is from: The Wolves Den (Paperback)
This book was fast paced from start to finish! ENOUGH OF THAT WORTHLESS DRIBBLE, action keeps you interested and Gray provided just that.
It read like a movie. If this author could find herself a top knotch publisher she'd be a bestseller.
I was already a fan from her previous titles with NCP but she knocks this one out of the park. I can't wait for the next in the series
