Man, I hate getting to the end of the books in this series and I can never wait to jump to the next one, even though I need to read something else for a while to break things up a bit.

Beyond the Veil is book 5 in the series and pretty much leaves off where book 4 ended with Romanian and Serbian packs now re-organizing while on the lookout for the psych bitch witch, Desdemona, who happens to be planning her next diabolical attack. I think my favorite Desdemona scene was when she got played by Adam, that was just so mean of him but she totally earned some major payback for her own meanness. Jen’s relationship with Decebel just cracks me up, especially when she gets huffy and accuses him of treating her like a child because technically compared to him she is, but then again, the age gap does make him a dirty, older than dirt old man so where do you go from there? Think Beyond the Veil is much darker than the previous books but I thought it was pretty awesome how the ladies in the story will get to come to the rescue of their entrapped mates granted that will be in the next book, great cliff hangar.

I am really impressed with how Quinn Loftis maintains the integrity and continuity of the story line and the personalities of her characters from one book to the next. So far if I had to rate the series itself I would give it five stars but as I am only rating the individual books I think I will give this one a five rating, it was well written and well edited as I found very few edits. Thank you Quinn Loftis for the grand adventure, I enjoyed it.

The whole gang is back, Jacque, Fane, Jen, Dec, Vasile, Alina, and Sally and a certain evil which Desdemona has evil and nefarious plans to destroy their happiness and lives. Traveling to the Carpathian mountains the pack is attacked by new enemies, hidden threats and new alliances. But all isn’t so dreadful, the Great Luna has now opened out more mates to the wolves… the fae and maybe other magical creatures.

Facing imminent danger, will they have the strength to endure what just might be the greatest challenges they have had to survive?

This nail biting, non-stop adventure had me on the edge of my seat…laughing, crying, celebrating and cheering. Sally now has Costin and he is exactly what she needs exactly when she needs it. What a extraordinary twist to a spectacular tale! I would like to caution you: make sure you clear your schedule to read Beyond the Veil because you won’t want to put it down.

Wow!!! What a Ride!!! The Grey Wolves series has covered quite a journey. As we approach the largest battle the werewolves will have ever seen Jacque, Jenn, and Sally will have to embrace their futures and become truly part of the pack. No longer just participants in this unique world, but warrior fighting for their survival and future.
I was so excited for this book, because Sally has played a bit of the sideline character through much of this series. Beyond the Veil was a guarantee that her character was going to take over the lime light. This was a reality, but shockingly there was so much more that unexpectedly developed in this single book. This was not a devotion to Sally, but rather the beginning of a chain of events that will transform the story.

As for the well loved and cherished characters I was surprised to see their story continue just as strongly. Jacque has seemed to have taken a side seat some of the past novel, but her role was so much larger in this book. It was refreshing to be able to reacquaint myself with her and Fane’s characters so deeply. Beloved Jenn continues her break neck pace that we have come to love in the past four books. With all of the developments in packed into this one story; readers will find themselves primed for the ultimate battle that seems inevitable from the cliff hanger ending.

I am not sure exactly how many novels are planned in The Grey Wolves series, but I am nervous that everything is building for the grand finale. I would hate to see the next novel be the final story, but if it is this series has taken a exceptional journey. With incredibly talented writing Quinn Loftis has proven her extraordinary talent, and I hope to see that this was just a stepping stone to an amazing future of writing.
