Publisher's Summary

The next in a new dark and gritty paranormal series. Abandoned and Unseen continues the journey with New York Times best-selling authors Alexandra Ivy and Carrie Ann Ryan.

Abandoned

When bear shifter Anya Tucker fell in love with the wrong man, the only thing she left with was a broken heart - and her two bear cubs. Now, she's mended her wounds and learned that in order to raise her babies, she can only trust herself. When her sons meet the lazy cat next door and fall heads over tails for him, she'll do whatever she takes to protect them - even from a past she'd thought she'd left behind.

Cole McDermott is a jaguar on a mission. Long naps, a willing woman, and a full stomach is usually all he needs when it comes to relaxing after a long day of protecting his pack. Then he meets Anya, and the burn of temptation is silky and tantalizing indeed. When a horror from Anya's past threatens everything she loves, Cole will put everything aside and fight for her family - as well as his own.

Unseen

Nicole Bradley had no reason to live after the humans murdered her son - not until she learns to hunt down those responsible for his death. Shifting into her wolf form at night, she slips out of the compound, determined to do as much damage as possible. The last thing she expected was to discover secrets that could destroy the SAU.

Polar shifter Tucker Stone lives off the grid. It's the only way the unseen can avoid being rounded up by the humans and tossed into a compound. Besides, he's a loner by nature. But he can't walk away when he sees the pretty female wolf in danger. Risking exposure, he takes her to his hidden den and tries to heal her wounds.

Can a reclusive polar bear and a wolf with a death wish find happiness together?

Branded Packs Book Two

Branded Packs Book Two

Abandoned:
Anya Tucker is fed up with the lazy cat shifter that has allowed her boys to hang out under his tree. Cole McDermott is not the kind of male she wants her cubs to look up to. When Owen and Lucas go missing, however, Cole is the first person she runs to for help. As the cats' tracker, Cole can find anyone. When Anya scents the man who betrayed her years ago, though, her bear loses it. Will Anya and Cole survive outside the compound? More importantly, will they survive each other?

Unseen:
Nicole Bradley is on a vendetta. She will not stop until she finds the man who killed her baby seven years ago, even if she endangers the lives of the Unseen - a pack of shifters who have not been caught and branded. Tucker Stone knows he has to stop the woman, but he understands her pain. After seeing the proof of the brutality against her son, Tucker decides to help her in his own way. Maybe they can help each other.

Audio Review:
Aiden Snow narrates this series with a balance between drama and reality. He knows when to pump up the action and when to pull back for the emotional moments. His deep voice and talent with accents gives each character a personality and depth that enhances the authors' written words.

If you're looking for two stories about women who were betrayed and the men who can right those wrongs, this is the book for you!

Good addition to this series

This second book in this series was a good read that I enjoyed from the start. In this book, the fight between the shifters and the humans continues with more mystery and intrigue that the first book. More mates were found among the shifters and more bonds were forged. The narration from Aiden Snow was performed well and made for an enjoyable listening experience. Overall, this was a good read that I would recommend to others.

Delightful Series

Carrie Ann and Alexandra have a delightful style of working together. Each book seems to have two different stories that intertwine characters. You'll enjoy these shorts and be amused and entertained at the twists and turns that bring the SAU into play with each of the shifter packs.

Omg so flipping awesome

Okay Peps you want 2 yes I said to of today's hottest authors writing the most amazing series together ever. Then pick this one. I'm normally not a fan of writers coming together like this because of the difference that normally make it hard to follow, but not this one. My god not only is each author in there own right but together it book magic. I could die today one happy woman after listening to this book. It's sooooooooooooo great. I love love love love thid. And let me tell you you won't stop listening once you start. It's that awesome.
I received this audio arc for my honest opinion

belief in the truth will always find a way to win

this series is so awesome, the thoughts in this are almost scary in the fact of government being like that, but the shifters even though done wrong keep strong in trying to prove the government is in the wrong and are what caused all the deaths in the first place. Having two books in each one tells two couples stories from meeting to battling the bad guys.

Another hit

I love Carrie Ann Ryan's stories and this one didn't disappoint. I can't wait to listen to the next one.

Sucked right in!!

Great development of the Branded Packs series! Love seeing the packs integrate and the story grow as learn to live together. Aiden brought life to the characters and made you emotionally invested every minute.

The old saying is so true, never get between a momma bear and her babies!! Anya is a fierce, independent bear and her ex drastically underestimated her strength when he decides to interfere with her babies. Cole is the sleek, cool jaguar that has watched Anya and her boys from the sidelines. I fell in love with him when he didn’t hesitate to risk everything to protect Anya’s boys.

The unseen added a new dynamic to the series that I loved. Hearing the story of Nicole’s son was heart breaking. I had to read more to see her get revenge. So when she met Tucker, it was perfection. It was their chemistry and his devotion to help her seek out the man who killed her son that won me over.

Great story!

I loved this story! It pulled me in from beginning to end and I loved getting to see the other packs more in this book. We get to see a little bit more of the cats but more of the bears and the unseen packs in this dual story. I loved getting to see both stories in this book as we follow two couples on their journey to finding each other and rescuing loved ones and revenge for ones lost. I loved the way that the stories and the relationships were developed throughout the stories. They also move forward the overarching storyline of trying to free the shifters and changing humanity’s view of them. This story definitely hooked me in to the story and I can’t wait for the next one. It was a great continuation and expansion of the series.
The narrator was great as well. Did a great job with the voices and emotions throughout the story and brought it to life.

Abandoned and Unseen

An interesting continuation of this series, the characters are great and the stories are interesting.

The narration is good

Steamy and Suspense love this book

Abandoned and Unseen
by Carrie Ann Ryan and Alexandra Ivy
book 2 in Branded Pack. I love this story the Shifters vs humans is gong on we meet new breeds of shifters and part of the mystery of the. more fated mates and the cutest cubs. Aiden voice perfect growly and seductive perfect for this book.

Fantastic 2nd book

Book 2 Abandoned and Unseen by Carrie Ann Ryan and Alexandra Ivy.
Abandoned Anya and Cole
This book carries on straight after the previous one so after Holden made his mate in to shift it they were punished by adding bears into the compound this is where and your mates Cole. I absolutely love that these two characters are very much different I love but Anya has the boys that do seem to be attached to Cole straight away in the story and I just love how it develops and everything seems to work itself out even though it is intense and stressful in the middle of the story specially when Anya realises but the boys are missing absolutely love how Cole steps up.
We also get a sneak peak of what is happening outside the compound which I really liked the twist in the story looking forward to reading more about this.

Unseen Tucker and Nicole
This story also carries on directly after the previous one which I really like that the story flows very quickly between each book.
In this one we have Tucker who helps Anya in the previous book to find her boys and is a unseen shifter which means he lives outside the compounds and hide from the SAU.
Absolutely love to Tucker Especially with the way he is portrayed in the book he is this big silent teddy bear really thought has a big heart and when Nicole comes into it he gets to express himself bar and shows that is more than just a massive polar bear.
We finally get to learn more about the SAU And the things they’ve been doing behind-the-scenes really looking forward to when these people get taken down.
Aiden Snow narrates all the books in the branded packs and I cannot say how great he is at it his first time ever listen to him being exclusive in a narrated book and not with a female narrator but he pulls it off fantastically he also does a fantastic voice for Tucker which I absolutely love cannot wait for more
