Publisher's summary

Ainsley Connor is determined to turn her back on her shifter past.

But the wolves of Tarker's Hollow call on her to choose the next alpha, and Ainsley becomes the object of desire for every eligible wolf in the quiet college town.

Surrounded by seductive shifters, all desperate to claim her, Ainsley wants nothing more than to leave the pack behind forever. But her newfound passions will not be ignored.

Ainsley soon finds herself torn between the mysterious stranger with the dark secret, the gorgeous and loyal friend from her past, and the hunky sheriff that wants her all to himself.

And the shifters aren't even the strangest part of Tarker's Hollow.

As she struggles to come to terms with her true nature, Ainsley is thrust into the center of a steamy web of shifters, ghosts, witches, and warlocks, caught up in a life-and-death struggle for control of the pack she tried to abandon.

But for Ainsley Connor, the toughest wolf she must face might just be the one inside herself.

A continuing story:

Curse of the Alpha is told in six installments, or episodes, like a TV show. Each episode contains a cliffhanger to entice the listener to tune in for the next one. If you're not a fan of the serial format, all six episodes are also available in a complete bundle!

Ainsley must retaliate after a shocking betrayal. Information from her past helps her to see things in a new light. But how will she react when she receives a ghostly visitor?

In Episode 4:

Ainsley makes a plan to leave Tarker's Hollow, but ends up running for her life. Will she manage to escape in time to use what she has learned to shape her future?

Any additional comments?

I received this audiobook in exchange for an honest review. May contain some spoilers.

This book starts where the last left off. Ainsley just faced off against Julian. There is no sign of him anywhere. Ainsley proceeds to clean out her family home. Many people come through the house and slowly items are removed. I can't figure out Ainsley's hesitation to consider Erik for Alpha other than perhaps she feels she will fall in love with him and want to stay but she refuses to consider her parents' wishes. On top of all the male suitors that she has to fend off it turns out that women are also candidates. She has a very lose encounter of the lesbian kind and boy is it HOT!!

Ultimately Ainsley decides to make Clive the sheriff the Alpha. When she makes the decision she invites him over for dinner. Everything is extremely awkward between them. When they finally get to her bedroom she decides she isn't quite ready and begins to ask him questions to get to know him. Then the truth comes out.

I didn't know why but I just wasn't interested in Clive's character during the first 2 parts of the story. Now I do. I have to say, I didn't suspect him but I knew it couldn't have been Ainsley. I hope that Ainsley whoops his butt more than she does.

Again Erik becomes her savior. Episode 4 ends with Ainsley and Erik preparing to take on a number of individuals.

Tasha Black is extremely talented in keeping you in the story. Not to mention she is very good at writing the juicy scenes. I absolutely cannot wait to read the final installments. All I have to say is that Ainsley better shape up and realize she is bad to the bone and that Erik is the only one for her. #TeamErik

OMG!!

I absolutely love this series, I can't wait to see what happens next. Tasha Black did an amazing job keeping me hooked from the beginning. I knew there was something creepy about the Sheriff. No Spoilers, I highly recommend this series

WOWSY WOW!! THIS WAS A GREAT INSTALLMENT!!!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Oh yes I would...it was fabulous!!!

What did you like best about this story?

This installment was super exciting...I could not put it down!!! I LOVED ALL OF IT!!!

Which scene was your favorite?

The ending, when Ainsley finally gives in to who she is...she is raw and honest...and I love her with Eric!!!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

This little series would probably make an awesome movie!!!

Any additional comments?

** I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review **

This one picks up where the last book ends...and was super exciting from start to finish...Ainsley is finally honest with herself and ends up putting her and Eric in a dire situation....I think she might be having a change of heart...in this installment, I really bounded with Ainsley..and can not wait to listen to the next installment!!!

2 HUGE THUMBS UP...THANK YOU TASHA!!!

Steamy, and Suspenseful with Shocking Twist!

Episodes 3 & 4 picks right up where the last book ends but have several surprising twist that you do not see coming! May contain some spoilers.

In the beginning of episode 3, Ainsley is about to shift into her wolf form to kill the person who is caught breaking into her father's study and office; however, something happens and she is unable to shift and the person escapes. With more family secretes coming out, she learns she is more than just a wolf.

While Ainsley considers choosing Clive as the next Alpha, Cressida visits Ainsley and they have a little F/F action. (This was my first story with a female with another female and it was an awkward scene but not bad.)

Once Ainsley has decided to mate Clive, and make him the next Alpha of the pack, a ghost from her past comes to her in the nick of time to stop her from making a mistake. However, Clive is not about to take "no" for answer.

All through the story Erik is miserable because he has feelings for Ainsley, and wants to be with her. He has a hard time excepting she will be with someone else. However, while Ainsley is on the run from Clive she finds herself in Erik's arms.

I enjoyed listening this story and thought the narrator did awesome job narrating these stories.
