I feel like I'm only reviewing part of a story with this novella.
There's no real character development and no real bonding between the character except for the fact they both love animals.
The heroine was a bit too whinny for my tastes. She seemed to be crying or stressing over Sable not calling, instead of pulling up her big girl panties and calling him herself.
The ending was so abrupt that I'm not even sure I could say we had a HEA for this couple. They're in a position that they either have to deal with a long-distance relationship or no relationship at all.
By the end I'm left with more questions that answers. Like:
-What happened to the guy that Akila was seeing on occasion?
-If he disappeared and is a known vet like he seemed to be, why wasn't it questioned by patrons?
-How did Mr. Morris come to know about shifter & how is he now able to tell who is one even when they're in human form?

I finished this book in one day but I wanted to wait to review. I wasnt sure how I felt and wanted to wait a little bit. My feelings didnt change. It was ok just lacks a few things like character depth. I really wasnt feeling the romance that much between Sable and Akila. I dont know it just wasnt there for me. The ending wasnt necessarily a HEA it was actually kinda sad in a way. Of course he has responsibilities to his people and she has her business. Long distance...errr just not a fan of the ending and I felt a little disappointed in how it ended so fast without even knowing if it works or not. I like my HEA or even HFN but it seems like there was a dark cloud hanging over this couple. Dont get me wrong I didnt hate it and I dont dislike the characters I just wanted a little more I guess.

I enjoyed this story it kept you turning the page to see what was going to happen. Akila & Sable meet in an install way in the back of a vet clinic with him in a cage. The back story as to how he got there does get told and from there things get dangerous. The story told about them but not a lot about the people looking for shifters. Over all a great read and looking forward to book 2 .

Akila fell in love with a dog which turns out to be not what she expected. Her heart is pure when it comes to animals; if only she could find a man she could feel about the same way. She meets a fellow vet who is gorgeous in her eyes and wonders if he could feel the same way about her. Meanwhile Sable is trying to find his sister while falling in love with Akila. Will she still like him when she finds out his secret? He hopes so.

I just loved this unique story about some special werewolves. Has strong and likeable characters, especially Akila & Sable, our heroine and hero. This story pulls you in from start to finish - couldn't put it down until I was done! Has action, suspense, humor and hot romance. Highly recommend this e-book and I have purchased the second e-book which I can't wait to read. Advise this e-book for 18 and over audiences.

Sable can't hear his sister in his head anymore and he know something is wrong. He heads down to Georgia to where he last feels his sister only to be caught by the same shifter hunters who caught his sister. After escaping he is caught by the pound as his captors gave him a drug stopping his from shifting. He's taken to Dr. Akila, a no-kill Vet and she takes care of him in wolf form. When he is able to shift, he continues his search for his sister but also starts hanging around Akila. Does she feel the same pull he feels?
Even though there is a lot going on, this book has a relaxed easy way about it. The characters are well thought out and fleshed in her writing. This book does have a couple of naughty parts, (my husband really appreciated them, LOL) and a lot of action.

I was thinking that this story would be too short, but that is not the case. I really enjoyed the dynamic between these characters. For those wondering, yes they make an appearance in book 2. I couldn't help it and started the 2nd book before logging on and reviewing book 1 lol. I also liked the fact that Akila tried really hard to behave herself, and not jump in too fast with someone she just met. It didn't do much good, but she tried! There is adult content, and some violence.

This was my first time trying a Dariel Raye book and I really liked it. This first book in the Dark Sentinels book follows Sable as he tries to figure out where his sister is. Along the way he meets a veterinarian who is somehow involved with his sister's disappearance and keeps pulling him back for more of her. I liked seeing the relationship for these two develop. Akila had a great sense of humor and kept Sable on his toes. Loved reading about these two and can't wait to read more books in this series and from this author.
