Lunewulf: In Her Soul

Just wanted to say I loved this series. Excellent read and a must!! I started with the first book and didn't stop until I was done.

Werewolf Trudy Rousseau, now a widow, leaves her Lunewulf pack to find a nice, quiet pack somewhere far away, and so she can live out her life in peace. Her abusive husband has been put to death according to pack law after he was found guilty of three murders, and an attempted fourth murder. She leaves Canada and travels to the sophisticated city of Fargo, ND, to try to make a new start. But things are not peaceful in Fargo - humans have begun killing werewolves and no one knows who is instigating this pogrom. They do know, however, that a werewolf is working with the humans to give them information on who and where the werewolves are. Adam Knight, of the FBI Werewolf Affairs department, has been sent to solve the mystery. When Trudy first arrives in her new home, looking for the werewolf couple with whom she'd arranged to stay, Adam is suspicious of her motives, but is also totally blown away by his instant attraction to her. I have read all of the Lunewulf series and, as a whole, I have enjoyed them. Ms. O'Clare knows how to plot a tight story as well as write riveting love scenes. What has frustrated me about these books is the way her werewolf males tend to be overly protective and controlling of the females. In 'In Her Soul,' Trudy has just escaped from a marriage to a controlling, abusive spouse, and seeks only to test her ability to live independently. However, when she arrives in Fargo, Adam immediately takes control of her life, and forces her to ask his permission to go where she wants to go and do what she wants to do. ... The sexual scenario in this story is extremely hot and a bit edgy. The Lunewulf pack was forced by their former Alpha (Grandmother Rousseau) to participate in group marriages of 1 woman and 3 men to diversify the gene pool of their insular group. Now that she is dead, and Johann Rousseau is pack Alpha, that Pack Law is no longer in existence. Some of the pack members continue to prefer multi-partner marriages. In Her Soul further explores multiple partner sex and its possibilities. Those who are sensitive to differing sexual practices should be aware that this book contains many explicit, hot sex scenes including voyeurism, male domination/female submission, female/female sexual encounters, and group sex involving two couples. I did enjoy this book. Ms. O'Clare certainly has a creative imagination, and I look forward to seeing where it leads in future books in this series. -- Jean, Fallen Angel Reviews (courtesy of Fallen Angel Reviews)
