Enjoy Wolf Creek Alpha (Texas Pack, #1) Conceived By Jo Ellen Available As Print

really enjoyed this book, Likeable characters with great personalities and some funny moments, When Rafe, alpha of the Wolf Creek pack, sees Lisa for the first time, he knows she is his fated mate, Since Lisa doesnt even know werewolves exist, shes going to take some convincing, Shell take even more convincing when the pack realise shes more than human herself, I love supernatural romances but this one isnt going to win any prizes for feminist literature, I get that Rafe is pack leader but he was overbearing and condescending and the packs “protect the women” attitude grated, The info dump at the start was difficult to absorb, I also felt any setbacks resolved too neatly and timeline was too fast, the relationship heated up in mere days as did Lisas magical skills and abilities.
This is an early work and the ideas were fine, Ive just seen better execution I suspect the books will improve over the series, Audio narrator Jonathan Waters performed well, I'm being genorous amp giving it a four it's even on my favourites shelf because apparently this book defies my sanity, This is the exception to the rule, . . of high quality loves on my favourites shelf, The ideas were good but the execution was less than great, It read more like a rough draft, You know when you start watching a movie on tv but you missed the first five minutes amp it feels like you missed something imperative to the story and the whole way through you feel sort of lost that's how this felt but worse.
I feel like i've started on the second book in a trilogy or something without realising anyway if there is a prequel or something please tell me.
Other than what i've said to me it was an enjoyable read also was worth far more than the dollar or so i paid for it on playbooks.
so that comes into it as well, I enjoyed the diversity of characters, . . some things felt a but forced, . . the timeline/passing of time felt a but clunky amp weird, there were quite a few laugh out loud moments which is always great, my particular favourite line i won't forget in a hurry was "i hope you choke on a furball you litter box whore" it still makes me chuckle.
so the humor was redeeming, strangely the one thing that actually pissed me off and had me like wtf because there was really no reason for it was the stray kitten i mean where is it what's the point there were breif mentions for no real rhyme or reason i'm a car lover so any cat additions are great but i'm still confused it should have been omitted completely or weaved through the story not forgotten about and locked in a strange room all day its not a stuffed toy its a stray kitten more than your average or elderly cat its a baby so need even more affection than usual ugh whatever i'm getting mad thinking about it so i'll stop.
the last issue was her beloved friend like how beloved of a friend is she if her whole family up and disappeer for the whole climax/danger of the book i get they have kids but i'm not sure if i glazed over the reason they up and left but i dont recall reasons or goodbyes about it and another thing not only do they instantly disappeer they magically reappeer for the after party LITERALLY as soon as the danger is over.
. . it felt like whiplash. if you take away thosethings even with the strange execution of the novel this could've been an amazing book, as it stands its pretty average, but like i said at first for some reason despite All its faults i did like the world/idea/humor enough to remember/enjoy and add it to faves.
i like it but i hate that i like it, it's like a dumb reality show a guilty pleasure and i cant believe i'm saying this but i want more, Rafes time for mating

This book is pretty good, I love the story line the romance the mystery and all the magic in the world, Not only shifters, but fae/fairies and witches as well, add to that a good plot and narration style, and you cannot go wrong with this book.

Although the language is sometimes very simple, fairytale like, on the whole it is adequate and keeps the reader glued to the book, The plot surprised me a bit, as it was not the usual humanmeetsshifter and falls in love leading to mainly sex scenes, but apart from the two protagonists falling for each other, they also have to save the shifters and good fae from danger by dark fae a refreshing change from the what I call "shifterroutinenovels".
The leading and secondary characters were well developped, the dialogues were witty, and the whole book was fun to read,
I would not mind reading further sequels and see how the other characters fare, I couldn't even finish the book, It had the potential to be good but it felt like it just rambles on with no point, I really liked the story, funny with little angst, DNF at

Nope, nope, nope
The writing is, . . not good. It's all tell and there is zero tension in anything as everything is just bluntly stated, before moving chunkily on to something else, I was willing to overlook the infodrop beginning, but it does not look to be improving, Great Paranormal Series!

Im enjoying this series so much, Its not just a shifter romance but so much more, Yes, the overall storyline is about the wolf shifters but theres also, witches, seers, dragons, magic and more,
The male characters are big, bad and sexy as hell, but also charming and funny, The women are strong characters but willing to be protected as needed in a dangerous situation, This story is well written and easy to follow with a lot of mystery, magic, suspense and plenty of humor,
The narration performed by Jonathan Waters is absolutely stellar, When Im listening to his narration, Im in the story,
This is bookwith an HEA and can be read as a standalone,
There is a prequel to this series but not needed to enjoy this book,
I highly recommend this book,

Sisters Spotlight This was my first book by Jo and I loved it, Great story with wonderful characters and plot, Amazing narration. Obviously, I don't buy books unless I hope I will like them, I thought Jo Ellen had some good story building elements, but I'm guessing she is a young writer and still developing her craft,
I found the writing to be abrupt and choppy, which distracted me from the storytelling,
I think with experience and time, she has some good potential,
I had purchased a "pack" heh of the firstbooks, If I had not purchased the pack, I wouldn't have continued, I skimmed the first one due to the writing, and thought I would do the same w/bookampsince I had them, Pleasantly surprised that in the next two books she was beginning to find her voice, as they were starting to flow, Still has a way to go with typos and such, but I have no doubt if she went back and wrote book one again, it would be much improved.

I won't continue with this series, but glad to see the growth in storytelling, Nice idea but Worst written story I've read to date! I like the "script", I will even say I liked the characters, . . That being said, that is ALL I liked, The author's use of "had" in every other sentence, switching between first and third person and basically writing as if talking ruined this one for me.
For a tale of an alpha and his pack, it lacks any real challenge building to a climax let alone any detailed fighting or shifting.
The only thing I can

say about the Texas Pack is how domestic they are they cook, they clean, they eat, The best written character is Roberta fae! Rafe lacks depth and identity Lisa comes across confused and flighty and all the other characters are just too good to be true polite, understanding, nonconfrontational.
Even the "villain" is spared! Too much sap to try to digest, On my Were Scale of Hotness, . .stars. Great read

I enjoyed this book, The flow was nice. A lot of characters but it was easy to keep track of who's who,

Girl meets alpha, Girl finds out her hidden talents, Bad guys and handsome hunks, Great story!

Wow, what an amazing new look for shifters and face! Loved the characters and the plotline, I just think someone as evil as Ciar would be harder to overcome, Hmmm Will he be back Good read!! This was a free kindle book and a pleasant surprise, The authors style was a bit rough and even though the story didn't flow it was a great read, I really wanted to love this book, but there was just too much going on to follow, I like a complex read, but this was all over the place at times, I had to have my full focus on reading to not get lost,

The characters were kind of one dimensional, I wasn't getting a ton from them, I did like Lisa and all her sass, I liked her banter with Rafe, most of the time, For some reason I just wasn't vibing with this one, It happens, not every book connects with every reader,

The fae elements are way too vague, I felt the world building was haphazard, at best, I cannot say I have any understanding of how this shifter and fae world works, There are also major holes in the plot,

Part of my problem may have been that I listened to the audiobook narrated by Jonathan Waters, His read was oddly paced and not happy ears, I listened at every speed setting available, really hoping one would be great, sadly none of them worked out, The women's voices were an issue, big pet peeve with going too high and making them whiny,

Overall, this was disappointing on so many levels, I did finish the book, so it wasn't all bad, I don't think I will be getting the other books in the series, not for me I guess,
