Seduced in Salem

The Casters and Claws Series, Book 2

By: Milly Taiden

Narrated by: Summer Roberts, Brian Pallino

Witch Cerise Bishop doesn’t have time - or patience - for love. But when she’s saved by a hot alpha wolf, things change. When Axel barges into her home to warn her that she’s on a group of witch hunters’ kill list, she doesn’t believe him. Forget how sexy he looks or how much she’d like to see him naked, she doesn’t need a savior.

Alpha wolf Axel Barrick wanted to crawl home to bed after a series of night shifts, not take a witch to a safehouse. But his sense of justice rules him and he goes to fetch Cerise. He’s intent on saving her by bringing her to the pack lands. Too bad she’s the most hardheaded, beautiful, and frustrating woman he’s ever met - and who happens to be his mate.

On Axel’s beautiful pack lands, Cerise has to face her past and learn to communicate with Axel. That doesn’t mean fall into bed after every argument. Sex is easy. Love, now that’s another story. But when Cerise is taken, all bets are off. Will Cerise’s determination to save herself actually get her killed?

This story sounds a lot like book one

I don’t mean to be mean but book 2 is so much like book 1 I hope books three is different.

I really wanted to like it.

I'm a huge paranormal book fan and love this kind of series. HOWEVER, this series has officially turned me off - hopefully, not permanently.

**spoiler alert - there is no spoiler.
The 2nd book is, like the other reviewers said, almost the same as the 1st.
Whining Witches who won't suspend their cynicism about men in order to save their own lives. Verbally abusive to the men and just plain rude! "Play doctor"??? She's so mean. Axel IS a doctor.
The men were only slightly better. I appreciated that they were trying to be heroic, but there had to be a better way than to walk up to the person and say, "I'm here to save your life." That's so arrogant. What kind of Alpha and Beta are they? Call out the whole dang pack! Take a stand and stomp the bad guys into the ground. Then again, if they were to do that, these books wouldn't have a story.

Please think through things a bit more before writing like this again. Flesh out each character and their personalities. Repeating yourself after changing the character's name and just a bit of their backstory isn't enough. I'd hate for more paranormal fiction series to go by the way of oversexed, arrogant, and emotionally stunted characters.

Allow me a few more points: If I hear about the women's "globes" one more time, I'm going to puke. Very colorful curses; totally NOT necessary. And Why the F÷×@ are they worried about earning money and whether they have clothes to wear when they are about to die???

I wanted to finish the book, but I can't stand the emotional abuse from all sides, violence for violence's sake, and lack of creative thought.

I don't like leaving reviews like this, so I'll end with a nice note: I actually did like the narrators. Some people complained, but I feel they were just doing the best they could with what they were given. I really like the make narrator's deep voice. It's a perfect fit for a werewolf.

Same

Boring, annoying and same as 1st book. Dumb and annoyingly bitchy women - rather than independent strong-willed. Stupid, cavemen type men - completely untouched by modern social interaction.

She’s annoying

I didn’t make it it but halfway.. couldn’t listen to the MFC anymore. Just blah

I love book it was wonderful stroyline awesome

the narrators did awesome job tell story and characters in book and author wrote good book
