Normally anything that Tammy Blackwell writes gets an
automatic 5 big stars, but this book was slightly different than her previous
series with Scout and Liam. Without
Scout narrating we lost some of the humor from her sarcasm. The narrators were Charlie Hagan is so very
broken and a new addition to the group: Maggie McCray. Because of this the tone of the book is
different. Not bad…just not what I had
come to love. Of course if it was the
same I would be thinking, “Ok, so all your characters have the same personality
huh?” So Tammy can’t win with me is what I am saying…
This book takes off with the Alpha Pack having a
headquarters in Kentucky in a university town.
Scout is going to Sanders University and ends up sitting next to
Maggie. She knows Maggie is something
supernatural and assumes she is a Seer.
She invites her to a hustings, but Maggie doesn't show up. Scout and Talley then find Maggie on campus
and convince her to come to a picnic.
The picnic is interrupted by something terrible that lands Maggie in the
company of the Alpha Pack until it is resolved.
This is when she meets Charlie…and Charlie immediately doesn't like or
trust little Maggie and makes this known.
He is assigned her bodyguard as she continues with her classes on campus
and the pack continues the investigation into the crimes that keep happening. I am thinking that the next book has Joshua
in it and I am looking forward to this.
Maggie just wasn't as likable as I wanted her to be. I think it was very real to make her jealous of Scout, but knowing what Scout went through and what Scout and Charlie went through it was distasteful that Maggie had animosity towards her. I am sure that if I was Maggie I would have those same feelings towards Scout. I know...once again poor Tammy can't win. Charlie was Charlie and I enjoyed reading about his growth and thought processes. They made sense just like Maggie, but perhaps the Hagans just can't do any wrong. I really did love reading about the Liam/Scout saga. It wasn't quite enough to satiate me, but it was more than I thought I would get. Beggars can't be choosers.
