Review: Forbidden Hope (Werewolf Wars Prequel) by Bethany Shaw

[Eva Millien]

Blurb:

Emily McKinley has been a prisoner in her own home since she began her first heat cycle. As a rare female wolf, and the alpha’s daughter, she has led a sheltered life. When Marcus Jackson comes to the pack, Emily is instantly drawn to him. As the daughter of an alpha, she is required to find a proper mate—another alpha. Marcus is everything she could possibly want in a mate and more, but he isn’t an alpha, and her father will never approve. Unable to deny their mutual attraction, Marcus and Emily find themselves falling for each other. But Emily’s world comes crashing down when her father orders her to become a breeder for a misogynistic pack. She tries to protest her father’s decision, but the more Emily fights, the more dire the situation becomes. Emily must make a choice, stay and lead a life as a submissive female, or run and put everyone she loves in danger.

My Review:

Emily McKinley is a rare female werewolf and as the alpha’s daughter she has been kept a prisoner in her own home but that’s nothing compared to when her father orders her to become a breeder for a misogynistic pack in this riveting prequel to the Werewolf Wars series.

This fast paced and smooth flowing plot captivates readers with suspense, drama and romance. The well written scenes and details bring the story to life and the strong compelling characters draw the reader into the story ensuring that they want to know more. 

Emily has lead a very sheltered life but she knows that the attraction she feels for Marcus is something special and she also knows that her father will never  let her have him all for the good of the pack.  But as their friendship grows, their relationship grows as well. The reader can’t help but get caught up in their story as they continue to hope for the best and live through the escalating attacks on their pack.

I read the first one first and I must say that I am glad the author decided to write this prequel, so while it doesn’t matter if you read this one before you read the first one, I certainly recommend it because it adds depth and insight into the characters and how they arrived at where they are in the war between the packs.

About Bethany Shaw:

I am happily married to my husband of almost nine years and have two wonderful children.

I have always loved reading and writing and am thrilled to have published my first novel. 

Paranormal romance is my go to genre and the genre I prefer to write in. I love the unique feel of creating an entirely different world and implementing it into the human verse.
