New Release Review: Fang Chronicles: Ivan (Fang Chronicles) by D'Elen McClain

[Eva Millien]

Blurb:

The loss of Ivan’s mate, Alba, left him broken and turned his inner beast inside out. With the war between the wolves and enemy cats, who killed his mate, all but over his anger has no focus. His new clan consists of two vampires, three cats, and his lone wolf.


Talya ran from her clan after losing a challenge against her friend for the love of Dmitri, the vampire leader of the bear clan. She’s young and impulsive with the weight of her shameful past on her shoulders. Can two humans help her mature into the alpha female she’s destined to be? Or will she endanger them both to the point of no return?


Ivan needs a mate worthy of taking on his angry beast and Talya needs a mate strong enough to tame her erratic impulses. Can sworn enemies overcome their pasts and fight for a chance at eternal love?

My Review: 

Young, impulsive and with the weight of her shameful past on her, Talya runs and forms her own pack with two humans. Wolf shifter, Ivan lost his mate and focuses all his anger on the cats. Together they might be strong enough to heal each other in this captivating paranormal romance.

This fast paced and smooth flowing plot captivates readers with suspense, drama and romance. The author brings the story to life with well written scenes and details that capture the imagination and the well orchestrated drama and suspense draw the reader deeper into the story while the strong compelling characters grab the reader’s attention and ensure the readers want to know their story.

The attraction between Ivan and Talya burns hot despite their emotional issues and the reader can’t help but get caught up in their passion that has sparks flying in combat or desire. They both capture the heart as they try to handle their attraction and Ivan tries to get past his anger and very intense dislike of cats. The story is emotionally gripping as the whole clan needs healing, a safe place to do that and of course Ivan and Talya have to heal themselves in order to provide a healthy environment.

The story has lots of interesting angles and elements and the way the story comes together from both Talya and Ivan’s perspectives add lots of depth and better understanding of each character. The readers are really able to feel the connection with the characters and feel as if they are part of Tayla’s adventures as she hooks up with her two human friends and then find herself part of a clan. There’s never a dull moment in this story and I was completely caught up in it from the very beginning. I haven’t read the previous books in this series yet, but I am going to be taking care of that soon and I really hope that this isn’t last book in this fascinating world.

About D’Elen McClain:

I’m a writer, author, word warrior! I owned an independent bookstore for many years in my 20’s and 30’s. So it should be obvious, I LOVE BOOKS. Fiction or non-fiction it doesn’t matter. I hated self-help but then found Og Mandino. I hated French history and the game of chess and then discovered The Eight by Katherine Neville. I’ve stopped limiting myself to what I think I like.

That brings me to paranormal fiction. It’s a passion of mine. Vampires, werewolves, ghosts, zombies, angels and demons, I read them all. I’ve wanted to write a vampire/werewolf novel for a long time. Taking a break from another series (aka Suzie Ivy The Bad Luck Detective), I decided to write the story screaming inside my head. The Fang Chronicles Book I almost wrote itself. No research or trying to remember a specific conversation, all I needed to do was keep the names straight.

If you’re an author and/or reader, join me on my paranormal journey and my lifelong fascination with anything having Fangs!
