Wild Fire

Wilding Pack Wolves, Book 5

De: Alisa Woods

Narrado por: Douglas Berger, Angela Starling

He's a hot fireman. She's a cool scientist. The wildfire between them is nothing short of magic.

Zoe Wilding is a genetic researcher with a secret she'd rather not have. She's a white wolf. But with Agent Smith's immorally acquired experimental data on shifters, that may change. If she can just isolate the gene that expresses her dangerous white wolf, she'll finally have a normal life. One that might include a man, if not a mate. Then her lab blows up.

Troy Hartman is a firefighter and EMT who fought his way out of the shifter gangs as a kid. He's been watching the Wilding family in the news as they battle the Wolf Hunter, and he's been itching to join the cause. When the Wilding research facility gets firebombed, he's first on the scene, and first to rescue a beautiful blue-eyed white wolf. Only this is no ordinary shifter.

All five of the Wilding families have now been targeted by the Wolf Hunter, and the entire cadre of white wolves - Grace, Noah, Kaden, Owen, and now Zoe - have joined together to find him. Troy's all-in with Daniel Wilding for the hunt, but the closer Troy gets to Zoe, the more his wolf wants her, only she's hell-bent on destroying the magic inside her. Can he win over this gorgeous girl and get her to accept the beauty of her inner wolf. Or will finding the Wolf Hunter destroy the wild fire inside the woman he's starting to love?

Great book

Loved it, I like it had a male and female narrator. It made the story more enjoyable.

Great series but anticlimactic end

Based on the rest of the books, I expected this one to be guns blazing and fire power all the way. Instead it's mostly Zoe's internal monologue about not wanting to be a white wolf and Troy trying to convince her otherwise. It ended up distracting from the interesting things that were happening. After all the build up, the revelation of the Wolf Hunter's identity also felt a bit weak.

Unresolved questions: why wasn't Olivia brought into the witch training too, given her role in the River family? Did Piper and Jace have their pups? Can Emily's white wolf do magic? Why isn't she included in the white wolf count? If Noah's magic could turn her into a white wolf, why doesn't Zoe explore the reverse as an option? Kaden and Terra are blood relatives yet are mated, why isn't this addressed even in passing?

Awesome As Always!

Alisa Woods has another hit on her hands. Her Wilding Pack Wolves series includes laughter, surprises, romance, and mystery. Wild Fire is no exception, and Zoe pairs up with hot fire fighter, Troy in an HEA.

Meh

The earlier books were much better. Little character development a one dimensional hero and a heroine that is supposed to be a scientist, but totally falls flat. The story around the sex and romance is barely there as well

Didn't like the heroine, Zoe..

This is the 5th book in this series but I’ve read hundreds of books since the first one so I’m not sure what the series is all about anymore, so I won’t read any more books about the Wildings. I remember a lot of the characters names but not their stories very much. And this wasn’t my favorite from what I do remember. Zoe spent too much time trying to come up with a serum to kill the white wolf inside her. It was like no matter what exciting things were going on with the packs, or the mayor, or between Zoe and Troy THAT was always her main concern: how do I kill my wolf? It became crazy after about 85% of the book. I did find myself skimming past Zoe's thoughts once in a while. And I did like Troy but he was kind of love-sick.

There was explicit sex in this book and the F-bomb was used 27 times.

As to the narration: After listening to Angela Starling for a few minutes I thought “OMG she’s awful at men’s voices.” THEN the chapter changed to Douglas Berger and I thought, “Oh, that’s better.” He did men and women both pretty good but SHE did the men horribly. Of course, neither of them read with any feeling or emotion, which doesn’t make for a good narrator. I thought the purpose in having a male and female narrator was so they could do the male and female voices separately. That was not to be! One chapter Troy and Daniel and all the other men would sound girlie and the next they would sound manly. It was totally ridiculous. What was the point in having a male and female if you were going to ruin the book that way? I would listen to Mr. Berger again maybe but NOT Ms. Starling. She definitely needs to work on her men’s voices.

Pitiful

Zoe's self hatred was ridiculous. Her unwarranted fear & loathing of the white wolf part of her genetic makeup was silly. She just kept going on about it. Her reasoning made no sense. It took the entire book for her to get a clue & by the time she did I didn't care for her at all.Troy should have run in the other direction.
