This is the final book of a trilogy that is honestly on of the best zombie series I have ever read. I only have one problem with this book and that is that it is the end. I want more. I love Dora, Dirk, Rave and Maddox. I want to know what happens beyond the epilogue.
Spoilers Below
*********


At the beginning of the book, a zombie clearing, Dora finally is able to shift to her familiar animal. She hadn't been able to shift in the past because she was trying to shift into a wolf like Dirk. Instead she shifts into a domestic house cat. That comes in handy when while on a mission to get chimpanzombie DNA her magic fails, she is pregnant with a dragon as the prophecy foretold, and Dora is captured by the Kindred. Sloane, the daughter of the Kindred that Maddox killed in book 2, now leads this vicious band of killers. The Kindred are on the road to Vegas for the Zombie Games. They have chimpanzombies and captured Benandanti werewolves to wager on in the pit.
During the rescue Dirk is captured and put in the pit games. He wins of course. Shari, the mysterious girl Falco loves turns out to be a protean but also one of the good guys.
After they all escape Dora gives birth to a beautiful baby boy they named Derrick. Dora and Dirk adopt a teenage boy they found in Vegas and solve the zombie problem. The book ended too soon. The final chapter was two months later and the epilogue was two years later. I either want to know what happened or I want follow up.

I really enjoyed reading Lycan Gladiator. The struggles that Cassie and Ulric went through just to be together to me were epic. I look forward to readiing more of ths Saga. I would like to see Lucious's story be told.

paranormal, werewolves, romance, action, danger, suspense*****

Seems like mutant werewolves are as addictive as Rachel's blood is to Lev! This is the first book I've read in the series, but it won't be the last. Intense attraction and fiendish danger are the biggies here, but all the characters are interesting and the plot twists made me nutz. Loved it! Especially when voice interpreted by Holly Holt!

They’re both werewolves, but they come from worlds apart. Cricket is technically a Runt in the werewolf hierarchy, but her competence and ability to blend in as human has granted her honorary Beta status in the American Lycan Intelligence Agency in Team Greywolf. Slade comes from a long line of werewolf royalty where long-held rules of mate choosing are strictly adhered to. Recently, he lost his entire pack and madness threatens to consume him utterly. It’s hoped that Cricket’s Runt status will serve to bring out his Alpha protectiveness and ground him once again. Cricket isn’t too enthused about the assignment even as her libido lusts after the well-muscled Slade.

I’ve been wetting my feet on paranormal shifter romances this past year. I find some parts of this genre to be fascinating (like the shape-shifting) and other parts to be a bit over-pronounced (the damaged Alpha male). I found this book to be a better story than most I have encountered in this genre. It was Cricket. She made the story for me. I found her wit and sense of purpose and self to be refreshing and totally entertaining. She has a career and a place in Team Greywolf that she earned. Her status isn’t dependent upon the man in her life (another theme in shifter romances that has worn thin for me). I often chuckled at her sarcastic jokes. I think I could be best buds with her.

The damaged Slade was not much more than that. He has his royalty thing going, being a rich man in his own right and then his damaged psyche that needs healing. I could have used something more to give him personality. The lusty scenes between him and Cricket were good if a little brief. Perhaps that’s just my lustful hormones wanting more…

I did enjoy the big mystery to the story. Something is taking out werewolves, like Slade’s pack, and the Lycan Intelligence Agency is at a loss to explain it. One tiny lead gives us another and then Cricket and Slade have to go undercover and on the hunt. The action picks up and there’s one rescue after another. It was fun if a little predictable.

As a biologist, I also liked the few realistic touches about wolf hierarchy, such as all the sniffing, the nose nipping, and other such things. These details made the shape shifting, and especially the wolf form, more realistic and the other all story more entertaining.

At the end, not everyone gets everything they wanted, which I also liked. I don’t need everything to turn out totally happy hunky dory in my shifter romances. A few complications were left for the characters to work out.

I received a free copy of this book.

The Narration: Christine Padovan was great as Cricket. She has Cricket’s sarcasm down to a T. Padovan does tend to drop the last word in a sentence and draw it out, giving her speech an odd cadence that I can’t place. However, she doesn’t do this often when she’s doing a character’s lines. She does do it often when telling the story narrative and I feel it takes a little getting used to. Don’t be put off by it though as her character voices are worthy.
