Forged Contracts (Tribal Spirits #3) by Katherine McIntyre
Forged Contracts is the third book in the Tribal Spirits series, and I would definitely recommend you read this as a series, rather than a set of standalones.

After reading the second book, I was invested in knowing more about Raven, and I found out! Her and Jer have watched each other from afar for way too long, but now it seems their time is on hand. The pack also faces a threat from the Coalition, whilst Raven faces a threat from her past. It's not all plain sailing for Jer either, as he is off his meds for his bipolar, and is struggling.

There is plenty of action in this book, and a couple of steamy times for Raven and Jer, but they add to the storyline, rather than detract it. It was brilliant to see how these two damaged people helped to heal each other, rather than cause more injury.

There were no editing or grammatical errors that I noticed, and the world and characters continue to grow. Although we didn't hear from Finn and Navi, we do get an update from Sierra and Dax (obviously, considering they are heading the pack!). Thoroughly enjoyed every word, and I have no hesitation in recommending this book.

Forged Decisions (Tribal Spirits #2) by Katherine McIntyre
Forged Decisions is the second book in the Tribal Spirits series, and I would definitely recommend you read this as a series, rather than a set of standalones.

I mentioned in my review of book one that I wanted to know more about the representatives of The Tribe. I got my wish as we spend the book with Navi. She is paired with the Great Panther, and has control over the element of water. Finn is the beta of the Red Rock pack, but due to his past, he feels restless and out of control. Together, these two confront both of their pasts, and maybe even find a future.

With plenty of action in this book, the story is fast-paced and, as I would expect from Katherine McIntyre, exceedingly well written. I didn't have the immediate connection with Navi and Finn like I did with Sierra and Dax, but I don't believe that to be a fault of the author. This pair grew on me the further along I read, and I was fully invested in their story by midway through.

With no editing or grammatical errors that disrupted my reading flow, I have no hesitation in recommending this book. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and can't wait for the next one.

A dark epic fairytale
This captivating fantasy is set in the frozen north of Russia in the 13th century, and used Russian myths and fairy tales as inspiration.

At the centre of the novel is the family of a local Lord, in particular the headstrong youngest daughter Vasya who is gifted with 'second sight'. The existence of the community is threatened when a dark power in the forests begins to wake up, just as the villagers start to turn away from the household spirits who've protected them, in favour of a charismatic new priest.

The Russian setting adds interest and mystique and the protagonist Vasya is fantastically outspoken and scrappy. The plot is easy to follow despite the odd Russian word. It truly is a compelling read.
