An alpha always puts his pack first.
Detective Silas Flynn wants revenge. Since the day Alex Bloodright murdered his parents, he's made it his mission to bring the rogue werewolf to justice. With information obtained from his ex-girlfriend, Soleil, the Madam of the local bordello, he's closer than ever to neutralizing Alex for good.

When he's unexpectedly assigned a new partner, Silas fights the decision, but he can't dissuade Detective Meredith Turner. The feisty redhead claims she has reasons to want revenge on Alex too. To complicate things, Silas's wolf takes an unnatural interest in her.

As he closes in, it becomes apparent that someone on the inside is helping Alex. Stopping him will force Silas to question everything, including his ability to be the alpha fate has demanded him to be.

In the finale to Genevieve Jack’s Fireborn Wolves trilogy, maniacal villain Alex Bloodright remains an elusive foe to the Fireborn wolves. The Flynn siblings, pack ruling royalty, have a particular score to settle and seek to ensnare the rouge wolf, however, he’s always one step ahead of the good guys. Vengeance is Silas’s story. The dark , brooding pack alpha and Carlton City detective, has been a fixture throughout Jack’s Knight World books. Known in part as the love interest of Soleil, celestial fae and brothel owner, Silas emerges in this installment as one seeking vengeance and new romance.

Vengeance follows a similar arc as the previous two books in the trilogy. This time, however, Alex’s machinations are much more diabolical and will have dire consequences if not stopped. I have a feeling this may continue in future Knight World books. This book has a strong thriller-type element. The plot twists and turns constantly and the action is riveting. Jack has created an unforgettable world of paranormal creatures whose lives are intertwined with mythological elements. Fans of the Knight Games series will enjoy the substantial part Grateful plays in this installment.

Call me crazy/hopeful, but there are a couple characters I’d like to see in future Jack novels namely vampire Julius and incubus Ryker. I like how Jack has created peripheral characters with magnetic charisma that have definitely piqued my interest.

Overall, Fireborn Wolves is a solid trilogy. Within the series there’s something for everyone; mystery, romance, and action. All three books were quick, engaging reads for me. As always, I’ve come to rely on Genevieve Jack as a perennially effective storyteller.

Book Review: Virtue (Fireborn Wolves #2) by Genevieve Jack

Virtue (Fireborn Wolves #2)
by Genevieve Jack
January 16th 2017
202 pages
Can love’s promise bloom in the shadow of a dragon’s curse?

Jason Flynn loves women. For years he’s indulged his wolf’s vice for sex— his wealth, status, and Hollywood good looks ensuring an endless supply of females to meet his need. But after an ex-lover, dragon fae princess Nickelova, threatens to use his habit to strike out against the pack, Jason realizes his regular routine has become a liability.

Selene Andrews is an acolyte to Preotka Artemis, Fireborn pack’s high priestess. Adopted as a homeless teen, her only desire is to serve the pack as Artemis’s successor. To advance, she must prove her mastery of the ritual magic required of a werewolf priestess.

When Jason’s attempt to quit his vice cold turkey goes awry, Artemis assigns Selene to break Nickelova’s curse and help Jason overcome his addiction. As a celibate acolyte, Selene has plenty to teach Jason about virtue. But is she prepared for what Jason can teach her about her deepest desires?

Genevieve Jack’s Fireborn Wolves series follows the action-packed adventures of the Flynn siblings; shifter wolf royalty. This, the second installment in the series, revolves around Jason Flynn, the younger brother to alpha Silas Flynn. Each wolf has a vice, a habit or ritual that needs to be satisfied. Jason’s vice is sex. As such, he’s been satisfying his wolfish appetites for women as long as anyone can remember. But when Jason’s bad habits spell trouble for his pack, he’s forced to turn to a young a beautiful acolyte, Selene, for help regaining control for his own sake and that of his entire pack. And Selene is definitely off limits. Sworn to remain pure in her service to the goddess, both Selene and Jason need to keep their emotions and hormones in check.

Jack is certainly delivering with this series, a spin-off to her Knight Games series. Old favourite characters make cameo appearances in Fireborn Wolves, which is always fun. Jack deftly balances action, suspense, and romance in a book that begs to be read. The romantic tension is off the charts with this one and I had a hard time putting it down. Readers are also given an absolutely delicious lead in to book three, Vengeance due later this year.

It’s been my experience that Jack never disappoints. She is definitely a perennial favourite.

Book three coming March 2017

Book Review: Vice (Fireborn Wolves Book 1) by Genevieve Jack


Vice (Fireborn Wolves Book 1)
by Genevieve Jack
September 13, 2016
215 pages
Genre: Werewolf & Shifter Paranormal Romance/Urban Fantasy

Some cravings can't be denied. 

Werewolf Laina Flynn longs to break from the patriarchal expectations of Fireborn pack. A successful entrepreneur, she doesn't have time to be bossed around by her alpha brother, Silas, let alone to act as a proper werewolf princess. 

But when a wolf is found murdered on Fireborn shifting grounds, Laina will do anything to protect her pack, even if it means posing as a waitress at a club that flies in the face of her feminist ideals. Unfortunately, her inner wolf marks the club's owner, Kyle "The King" Kingsley, as her vice--her metaphysical addiction. He becomes a hunger she can't ignore...one that could threaten her life, her family, and her pack. 
˃˃˃ **Due to explicit sexual content, language, and violence this book is recommended for ages 18+**

Veterinarian Dr. Laina Flynn has a secret. While she’s confident and fiercely independent, she’s also forever tied to a patriarchal wolf pack. As princess to the Fireborn Wolf pack, Laina is expected to fulfill family and pack expectations above all else; a critical sticking point between Laina and her brother Silas. When pack loyalty forces Laina to work undercover, she must leave behind her practice and personal life to help combat a familiar, but very dangerous, threat.

Vice is an entertaining, action-packed story full of suspense and steamy romance, a formula that has served Jack well in the past. Laina is written with a feminist voice. As such, this provides a more modern romantic exchange. While I adore an alpha male in my fictional life most of the time, I don’t always enjoy the suppressive, at times abusive, undercurrent inherent to those relationships. Laina’s strength contributes to a fresh, equitable love story that doesn’t skimp on sexy.

I’ve been a long-time Genevieve Jack fan having read her entire Knight Games series, a solid saga from start to finish. Vice takes place in the Knight World with some character crossover. It was a nice touch to see an appearance from Grateful and Rick. I’m happy to report that Vice is a formidable fit for this world and I look forward to the rest of the Fireborn series.
