Alpha Pack Series #1

By: J. D. Tyler

Narrated by: Kirsten Potter

Length: 9 hrs and 46 mins

Publisher's summary

After a massacre decimates half his team and leaves him crippled, Jaxon Law must relearn how to fight-and battle the anger and guilt threatening to overwhelm him. But when he rescues a beautiful woman who awakens his primal instincts, Jax is unprepared for the dangers that lie ahead.

On the run from her employer, brilliant lab assistant Kira Locke has evidence that leads the Alpha Pack on a hunt for someone targeting human civilians with Psy abilities. And as Jax and Kira circle both the killer and each other, Jax will have to decide if the deep connection he feels with Kira is worth breaking the ultimate shifter rule-because bonding with Kira means putting his abilities at risk, and they might be the only tools he has to keep his mate alive.

Critic reviews

"[Fans] will fall head over heals for the Alpha Pack!" (Angela Knight, New York Times best-selling author)

Action Packed

I enjoyed the hell out of this book! Time is precious...I couldn't image how Jacks felt when it came down to his brother or his mate. It is a sunken image. The night ops, insane sex, and gifted shifters truly is Primal!

Now That's A Surprise! I really like it!

What made the experience of listening to Primal Law the most enjoyable?

It's an Audible Listen, and that makes the difference! One thing I have to say over and over again, The Narrator can make or break a book. This time she made the book.

What did you like best about this story?

The story line was great and the Narrator was great. You have to have both for it to work.

Which scene was your favorite?

Kira's first change as a wolf.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Jaxon's personality after he decided Kira was his for real.

Any additional comments?

The only way to have a great Audible book is to have the Author and Narrator on the same page.Kristen Potter is a great Narrator. Just perfect for this series. I have heard her before and let me tell you she is one of your best. Thanks Audible for another great series.

Love the references to animalistic lust

Any additional comments?

This was a fun story to listen to with good scenes, great character development and an engaging plot.

love it!!

I'm in love with the way kristen potter does her work. they way she put the feeling on the word is wonderful. so did s search on all the book she has narrated and I'm so happy to see all the wonderful stories I have to liasent too.

Primal Law

Different because it sort of gives the beginning of werewolves and how other paranormal creatures work together to help each other. I like the way current events are drawn into the story.

Unsatisfying Ending

As the title suggests, this is the beginning of a series. While an incomplete story is expected, I find most authors find a way to give the ending a sense of completion while still enticing the reader to continue with the series. This one lacked a sense of completion. It might as well have had "To Be Continued..." at the end. Also, I usually like a little sex thrown in with a story, but I found these sex scenes tiresome and unexciting. Fortunately, the overall story had just enough interest to it that I think I may buy the next in the series--though with some hesitation. The slightly better reviews for the second release are enticing me. The narrator did a nice job. It kind of cracked me up that she used such a serious voice. Talking about shape shifters and secret government experiments is serious business, people! It didn't take me long to get over that and just to get into the fun of it, and she definitely brought the characters to life. If you've never read/listened to other shape shifter fiction, there are better options for a newbee. If you listen to audible books a whole lot and are exhausting your options, this is not a bad choice.

More, more, more!

This is a terrific series, and a good twist on typical shifters. J D Tyler has a couple of more books in print with more in the pipeline. I hope there isn't' a long wait for the rest. Kalen blossoms but is in for a surprise, but that's all I'm gona say. There are more twists and turns to come. Kirsten Potter doesn't disappoint and portrays the guys and their banter really well. I hope she does the rest of the series - soooooon!

A shame there aren't more in the series...

I'd like to see more of this series here. This was a good beginning and though the story between this particular male and female was well settled in the end, there was much more storyline hinted at that didn't get wrapped up. Of course, that's the point of a first book in a series.

Unfortunately I looked on Amazon and there is one other book and a novella out now and another book due out later this year. So it'd be great to see those on here.

Kristen Potter was a decent narrator for this book. If I had to find a complaint with her, it would be the lack of separate voices for each character. That's not a requirement for me, but it does add something to the story.

I'd recommend this book, but if you're the type who doesn't want to wait for the next book in the series, you might want to put it on your wishlist and hold off.

Primal, lusty, and action packed!

What made the experience of listening to Primal Law the most enjoyable?

Great story, full of action, and full of steamy steamy deliciousness! Oh, and the narrator--one of my favs--was excellent as usual.

What did you like best about this story?

I love the characters, every one of them. I was hooked from the beginning and was drawn in more and more as it continued.

Have you listened to any of Kirsten Potter’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, she is a great narrator, I love all the voices she does.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Too many to count! I loved all the interactions between Jackson and Kira--I can't get enough of that primal love between them! The ending was a moving point in the book as well, heart wrenching to say the least.

Any additional comments?

Love this book!

Hot new series!

Where does Primal Law rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It's on my relisten list. I enjoyed the world and charactors. I can't wait for other books in this series.

Any additional comments?

really sad that the next in the series isn't on Audible! I'm hoping that will change soon.
