Broderick and Joanne had ten months to get to know each other. There was attraction but nothing else until this book. This was a positive for me. But forget the romance. I thoroughly enjoyed the plot. Hackers, dead Guardian kept prisoner in Faerie, dead brother not really dead, the Guardian's sword missing and a lot action to get at least some resolution because Faerie keeps interfering in the human and Shifter realm. I don't know if this series will ever have an answer to this conflict or will it go on and on. For now I'm entertained.

~ 5 Bad Wolf Stars ~

Bad Wolf is a novella #7.5 in the Shifters Unbound series by Jennifer Ashley. I love this series especially the novella’s. The novella’s give us such a wonderful taste of Ms. Ashley’s writing and the world of the Shifters Unbound.

Broderick is a wolf shifter. We learn a little more about him. If you have read some of the earlier novellas and books then you will notice that Broderick comes of as a dick, but here we get to see his vulnerable side as well as getting an understand of how he sees himself.

Joanne is a human. She brought some bad publicity/cops to the Austin shiftertown when she was looking for her sister. Broderick stood up for her and they have been dating for sometime, but she is not sure where she stands with him and shifters.

I enjoyed the plot and learning more about these two. I love the human shifter hook ups the best in this world. Joanne and Broderick’s relationship came off as friends with a little something on the side, but as you read on you understand that Jo wants more, but is unsure of where she stands. Broderick keeps her at a distance, but he also wants more. We see sides of both these character we never thought to see. The secondary characters are as wonderful as every, plus we are back in Austin with some pretty fun shifter couples that we get to see where their lives are at.

Bad Wolf is a quick, fast-paced, action packed adventure with some pretty cool characters. I recommend this series. Do you need to read in order? Not really, but you will get the best enjoyment if you do. Some of the books and most of the novellas can be read as standalone.

Maybe not the best "romance" but good in terms of overall plot advancement.

I've been holding on to this book for a while, not really feeling the desire to actually read this one. Maybe it's been because the series have declined or become a bit more other worldly? Or maybe I just wasn't in the mood? I don't know. Now I finally got around to read it.

And actually enjoyed it!

There was some parts that weren't that interesting but then again there was parts that really surprised me. It's a romance, but with twists and a bit of actions. I loved meeting Spike and Tiger again, my favourite shifters. Broderick and Joanne were a bit hard to get to in the beginning, but in the end both ended up on the plus side. Broderick more so than his mate.

The thing that disturbed me was that
Spoiler we never got a real explanation to the cyber hacks and how the mysterious fae could target Cilla's loved ones if he needed the portal to come to this world. The scetchy explanation was not enough for me.


All put together, I would recommend this book and the series. I will continue reading the series and looking forward to the next installment.

It's easy to burn through these shorts in a day. Good stories that want you to keep reading.

I was not a fan of this story like I was with the other books in this series. The last few have left something to be desired. Joanne and Broderick had already met, already knew each other,and were already dating. The meeting and courtship is half the fun of a book, and this story lacks that. So this was not as good, not a lot of romance...which took the back seat. It was more adventures/investigation...trying to figure stuff out. There was no chemistry. Broderick is supposed to be an alpha, but he doesn't seem like it. His thoughts make him seem like he has low self confidence. He is reluctant to mate Joanne. And with no food reason. The book was boring, and lacks heat. And this series numbering is getting kind of silly. Having books with .5 is fine...but .25 is just too much.

I read this right after Lion's Eye, which is a good thing as you need that one to know who some of the people are in this one. Really neither one of these is stand alone as there are a lot of character and you cannot understand where they are in the hierarchy. It is kind of important since many people show up. It is a good edition and I liked both the main characters. We get more of Tiger and his foretelling. I don't understand why that makes him scary, him being able to best any of them, sure, but the foretelling is not. Tiger is a teddy bear.
