The Wolfs Heir ( The Wild Rites saga 3)
By Anna McIlwraith
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Of all the shapechanger races Emma's met so far, the wolves are the most loyal - and the least tame. When the Russian wolves beg Emma for help, she jumps at the chance to use her burgeoning powers for good, in spite of the misgivings of those who would rather she stay safe and untouched under their protection. After all, Emma Chase is the Caller of the Blood, destined to command the magic of all shapechanging races - and if her power can't save one innocent kid, what the hell is it good for? Besides, the Russian wolves might be able to help her solve the mystery of her own stray wolf's origins, or at least give her some tips on how to stop him chewing up the furniture.

But old enemies have been biding their time, and Emma's promise to the wolves sets events in motion that will push her to the limits of her mind, body and soul, and finally awaken the ancient powers that have, until now, lain dormant within.

Can she save the wolf's heir - and herself?

This is my favourite so far! Fast paced loved the story development and oh my am I a little bit in love with Alexi!! This is a pretty decent shifter series!

A string of fires in the village of Winslow Falls, New Hampshire, turns deadly when the body of Beulah Price is found in the town’s museum after it had burned. Volunteer fire chief Gwen Fifield finds herself teaming up with Hugh Larsen, the state’s arson investigator to figure out what is going on. The locals are ready to point the finger at the immigrant family in town, but Gwen suspects someone else is behind the crimes. Can she find out what is going on?

Having read Jessie’s other books, I had to go back and read her debut. While it was good, it needed more polish. Some of the characters tended to blend together, and I was really bothered by how all the villagers but Gwen treated the immigrant family. One scene introduces a sub-plot that is left hanging as well. However, the mystery itself was good and kept me turning pages. My irritants were all minor, and overall I did enjoy this book.

When the members of the Algonquin Round Table gathered for lunch, the last thing they expected to find was the dead body of a theater critic under their table. From Round Table, to speakeasy, and all over the city of New York, Dorothy Parker has to chase down a murderer before the police try to pin the crime on her or one of her gang. She has plenty of help from her friends Peter Benchley and a visiting Billy Faulkner.

The mystery was good, and the characters were larger than life, but there were so many characters that it did get a little confusing at first. Once I figured out who everyone was though, I really enjoyed it. I loved the banter between Dorothy and Peter – they reminded me a bit of Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn in Bringing Up Baby. I highly recommend this one if you enjoy a little humor with your mystery.

Several members of the historical Algonquin Round Table are featured or make at least a brief appearance in this story. To read more about them, visit the <a href="http://www.algonquinhotel.com/story/round-table/">Algonquin Hotel's Website.</a>
