Paranormal Romance published by Sourcebooks Casablanca 22 Feb 22
A special military team of supernaturals, a race against the clock to save millions of lives, the introduction of never-before-imagined super humans, and a captivating pull between two very different personalities….sounds like a party to me!
This book is the third in this series, and it is focused on one pairing within the team. I realize as I write this review that I should have read the first two books. It is difficult to tell the chronology of the stories, because the first one is not marked. But good old Google found it for me.
The book starts off slow, but once the plot, about finding stolen nuclear weapons and discovering the intent behind them, began to come together, it held me captive. The search takes this team in many directions across the globe, and the way they can maneuver around the governments of the world to find answers is plenty of fun.
The focus of this book is the relationship between Caleb and Brielle. It’s fun, flirty, and exciting. The author does a great job encompassing the feelings into her words. I was hooked. I appreciate the balance between the plot and the romance – it is not just a soft-porn thriller as some can be. There is a good balance of romance and adventure that kept me invested in the outcome.
Caleb is a typical Alpha wolf with additional tendencies, and that puts him into a newly explored category. He held me hostage with his beast and surprised me with his humanity. Brielle’s abilities are unique; her selfishness and bravery make her awesome. The only downside is the limits to her abilities. Otherwise, Brielle is supernatural goals, for real!
I enjoyed the introduction of new paranormal characters; the idea is brilliant. Creatures that can create tunnels through the ground with their hands, are hard to kill and can shrink themselves to move in and out of spaces; a family line of characters who can walk a pathway of decisions to see the outcome; characters who resemble vampires but are not left me wanting more. But vague descriptions are given, and I hope Ms. Tyler brings more detail about them in a subsequent book.
The other team members are identified and paired as follows the previous books in this series. There are not a lot of details about the rest of the team, but their interactions correlate a relationship between them all that is endearing.
All in all, the author does her best to encompass details that do not quite hit its mark. The storyline feels rushed with a quick background flash that leaves more questions than answers. BUT I enjoyed the book as a quick read. I really want to know more about this world the author has introduced. I can’t wait to read more of her books to get more insight.
Grade: C

Werewolf agent Caleb Lynch takes the lead on STAT’s newest case: to track down the thieves who stole nuclear weapons from the Air Force. His best connection is a brother-sister duo with a shady record, but there’s no guarantee Caleb can trust them—especially because of Brielle Fontaine’s supernatural abilities. Still, Brielle could be a useful ally for STAT, and Caleb sees something in her that could change his whole world.
