I've been on a Jeaniene Frost kick lately. I finished listening to The Beautiful Ashes, then Outtakes from the Grave (review coming soon to my BookTube Channel), and now an novelette! This novelette does not connect to any of Frost's existing series. It's a stand alone, easy for quick consumption! Read on to find out what I thought of Pack.

Big, bad wolf...
As the pack's enforcer, Daniel has sworn to keep the existence of werewolves a secret. He knows that Marlee's bites may change her life in a way she can't imagine, but if they don't, he can't let her tell others about his race. Yet Marlee is awakening Daniel's most primal urges, and soon neither one of them will be able to resist the call of the wild.

Jeanine steps away from the vampire world and delves into werewolves head first. Our protagonist Marlee, is on top of her game being that she finds herself in such a strange, confusing and unheard of predicament. The wolves are a well kept secret and she has to face a future of possibly becoming one.
| Enter our hero, Daniel. I could tell pretty quickly where this was going, but I didn't care. I like Daniel's character and I like him with Marlee. There was character development, romance, and a bit of action all wrapped up in a cute little novelette package. Yes, the story is a tad predictable, but you can't expect a fully flushed out story in under 60 pages. It's intended to be short and sweet and this is exactly what it was. Tavia Gilbert works her vocal magic as she reads for Marlee, Daniel and the other pack members. If you don't know by now, you should - Tavia Gilbert is one of my favorite narrators. She always rocks it. | |
If I had one wish, it would be that this novelette was the beginning of a series. I would jump at the chance read more about not only the pack, but Marlee and Daniel especially. I could sense already that Marlee has a strong personality. Put that together with the pack enforcer and we could be in for wild ride.
If you're new to Jeanine Frost, this would be a great way to check out her writing. I recommend Pack, it's fun for all!
Happy Reading & Listening,
