Sandy M’s review of Legend of the White Wolf (Werewolf Series, Book 4) by Terry Spear
Paranormal Romance published by Sourcebooks Casablanca 1 Feb 10

Terry Spear has definitely come into her own as an author. I have very thoroughly enjoyed her last two books in her werewolf series, both of which show a lot of growth from her first book. After reading this latest edition, Ms. Spear is now on my autobuy list.

What I like best about this story is that the hero and heroine are not wolves. At least in the beginning. They meet while doing their own investigations for different reasons in the same place. And from that comes a great storyline not only from their perspective but also from the wolves in the area.

Cameron is on a mission to find his two missing partners in their P.I. firm who disappeared while on a hunt in the wilds. Faith is after the man who stole her father’s current project and her self-respect, leaving her without a word after pursuing a relationship with her for months. Now she knows what he was truly after. After bizarre and dangerous circumstances, along with a few sensual ones, Cameron and Faith join forces to get to their final destination and hopefully some answers.

However, once there only more unusual and weird things continue to happen, but they press onward to find what they’re seeking. In the midst of it all, they are attacked by a white wolf, Cameron jumping between Faith and the animal, suffering a bite in the process. And things then become more fantastical. Cameron dreams of running wild through the mountainous snow, a sense of freedom coursing through him. Only thing he comes to realize later is it’s not a dream. He’s become one of the magical creatures he’s recently learned about in the area.

Not sure what the future holds – a white wolf in Seattle? – Cameron continues his mission, and that future changes once again when Faith is accidentally bitten. They’re led further into the world of wolves who have done an amazing job of fitting in with normal people and are doing everything to protect that front. Cameron and Faith can rely on no one but themselves, and as their feelings for each other escalate, so does their drive and power to do what needs to be done.

I really like Cameron and Faith. Cameron is alpha to begin with, so as a wolf he’s awesome and will need a mate strong enough to be his equal, and Faith is that woman. She’s independent, fast on her feet, knows her own mind, and definitely takes no guff from anyone, even the local alpha wolf who wants her for his own. Ms. Spear has created an intricate and interesting world with her werewolves and has come a long way since her first book. Her characters, good and bad, are a delight to read.

She’s now one of the best, as far as I’m concerned, when it comes to shifter stories. I know I will get a top-notch read every time.

Grade: A+

Summary:
