"My first Fellini film, at the old Normandy theater, and though I got to love all the rest of his work, this one, like all first loves, has a special place in my heart. Watching Zampanò on the beach, howling like a lost wolf at the black star-filled night, has never left me. What a way to begin a Fellini career. And it was one of the films I remember that had a great beginning, which got almost forgotten by the end."

"Wolf Creek, the Australian independent film that has such great locations and great music. A very simple premise, and it’s surprising. It starts out in this sort of idyllic setting and situation, and it just falls like dominoes into this horrific situation. Your hopes for the characters are dashed, one by one. I just love when I see a little independent film that’s got all the elements of good filmmaking done on a small budget with extremely powerful performances by the two lead characters in it."

some on page violence to Harlow that you need to be aware of!
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.

This is the second book in the Healing Duet and you really MUST read book 1, Healing Her, before this one. It follows on and you need that book's story to follow what happens next.

Keiron will be Calvin's Beta, once he takes over the pack. Leaving for Aberdeen didn't quite turn out to be the week he expected. Finding his mate in the hands of a sex trafficking ring, was not on his to-do list! Harlow has been caught by an enemy unknown. Being rescued at the point she was, meant she could go home. But why was her wolf so hell bent on staying near the beta wolf who rescued the girls?

Now, I wasn't too impressed with book 1 in this duet, but book 2 was far FAR better.

There is some on page violence to Harlow, and you need to be aware of it. I do think it's necessary for the plot though, as much as I hated reading it. And the bad guy does get his comeuppance!

I loved that Keiron, while not happy, nor was his wolf, let Harlow decide whether she wanted to come to him, or not, after her recovery at home. her wolf wasn't happy to leave Keiron, but she knew they had to try to heal, at home. Once Harlow goes to Keiron, they both instantly start to feel better.

I didn't like what Paisleigh gets Harlow to do, but then again, as she says, she is a big girl and can make her own choices about her actions.

Again, first person, present tense and multi point of view. I didn't notice it quite so much here, maybe because I enjoyed this book more.

I did think I could see some other pairings between the supporting cast, and I wonder if there will be any more of this pack, I would enjoy catching up with them!

Oh one thing: it says that THIS book is some 70 pages shorter than book 1. I didn't find that, I thought this was a lot longer!

Still, a much better read than book 1, so. . .

4 solid stars

Wolf Leader (Arctic Brotherhood #6) by Jane Godman
Wolf Leader is the final book in the Arctic Brotherhood series, and we deal with the last member of the Brotherhood who is unmated - Vigo. It starts with Vigo's past coming to bite him in the ass, but then we get carried away with defeating Fenrir. Amber is his mate, and she is very much a lone wolf, but that is not wholly through her choice. Something happened when she was young which made her this way. She is Vigo's mate, and she's not altogether pleased at the idea of being anyone's mate.

This book started off very well - all the ingredients were there to make this a smashing finale. However, for me, it just didn't quite work. The red herring was more than obvious and I don't think that he actually enhanced the story in any way. Amber's storyline was interesting, but could have been so much more. As for Vigo, it felt 'too' convenient. With the other wolves, it wasn't as obvious and had more depth. And the ending itself seemed rushed to me. Instead of going out with a bang, it was with a whimper.

That being said, this book was nicely written. The pace was smooth (until the end) and the scenes flowed from one to the next. This is the last book in the series, and I would definitely recommend you read them in order to get the full enjoyment of the storylines and the characters. I would recommend this series and urge you to read this book and make your own opinion.

* A copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book, and my comments here are my honest opinion. *
