Another race exists outside of humans- the Others, populated by a variety of supernatural beings.... Sullivan Quinn is determined to get the Council of Others to listen to him. Little does he expect a scent to derail him... but the honeysuckle smell is irresistible to his werewolf nose. He follows the scent and finds Cassidy Poe, a Foxwoman and granddaughter of the most formidable Council member. There's no way Cassidy's grandmother will approve a mating between a werewolf and her Cassidy but bigger problems have come up. A group is stalking the Others and is willing to do anything to expose them... anything, including murder. Can Cassidy and Quinn work together to save the Others? Christine Warren combines romance, suspense, and the paranormal together in the prefect blend. The mystery of this story was an added bonus. The relationship between Cassidy and Quinn happens almost instantaneously and then over the course of the book develops into something lasting as these two realize the power of a true mating. I really like the idea of a society of Others with their own governing body. It will be interesting to see how this concept develops in the future books but Christine Warren is certainly off to a good start with WOLF AT THE DOOR. The villains found in the Light of Truth (aka as the Lightheads) aren’t as well developed as the Council itself, but the storyline still seems fresh even upon a second reading two years after the initial publishing date of WOLF AT THE DOOR. Christine Warren shows a true flair for world building in WOLF AT THE DOOR. The power of this story isn’t necessarily in the individual characters but rather in the overall creation of a hidden society of Others. I look forward to more tales featuring the Others as WOLF AT THE DOOR is an excellent start to the series!Reviewed by Debbie |
