Relieved to see that Joey and Dean’s story had not yet come to an end with the previous volume and that they would get a chance to tie up the loose ends left at the end of ‘Heartsick Alpha’, I jumped right into this thirteenth book of the ‘Rogue Wolfhounds’ saga. In what feels like the final book (at least for now) in this fantastic series, there is certainly enough going on to satisfy my curiosity. There are more details about Joey and Dean dealing with their changed relationship, information about all the other mated couples in their pack, and the evil human scientists who created the wolfhounds in their labs with the intent of using them as “werewolf killers”. Action-packed and full of suspenseful moments, this is definitely a “grand finale” in the best sense.

Joey and Dean are struggling. Their love is stronger than ever, and physically they get on like, well, a mated shifter couple, but the implications of what happened to Joey when he was brainwashed are significant. Dean wants revenge in the worst way. Joey doesn’t want Dean to put himself in danger by going after the tormentors. They fight about Max’s plan to attack the compound where Joey was held, but in the end, Joey can’t stop Dean from going. And while Dean has to deal with the physical danger of dealing with the evil scientists and their wolfhounds, Joey is stuck with all the emotional and mental anguish of the one staying behind, worrying and wondering whether he will ever see his mate again.

But Joey and Dean are not the only ones affected. Todd and Max have to deal with Max leading the pack into danger and leaving Todd and baby Frankie behind. George tries to reason with Jason that, as a doctor, he should go with them, but Jason won’t have it. Every omega/mate tries to get their stubborn alphas to listen, but deep down, they also know it is necessary to put the dangerous humans out of commission. They’ll never have any sort of a future while being constantly hunted. And who knows? Max has an ingenious plan that may just work to their advantage. And no, I am not telling you what it is, that would be a huge spoiler.

If all of the above has made you curious – buy and read the book(s). They are imaginative, entertaining, suspenseful, and not to forget super hot! Werewolfhounds are a new concept in shifter-land, and I really enjoyed reading about their adventure. Thank you, Marcy, for a great series!
