The Blackstone Wolf by Alicia Montgomery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I absolutely love Alicia Montgomery’s books. The characters are engaging, the stories are fun, and the mythology she weaves is addicting. But The Blackstone Wolf may be her best ever. I rank this one right up there with her stories “Taming the Beast” (Sebastian and Jade) and “The Last Blackstone Dragon” (Hank and Riva). In “Wolf”, the story of Nathan and Violet is a bit of a twist, as Violet is even more of a badass shifter than her Mate.
I like that each type of shifter has his or her positives and negatives when it comes to their animal natures. Just because you’re a powerful animal when you shift, doesn’t exactly mean that you’re completely badass all the time. And that helps ground the story. There’s also a nice nod to consent in this story, something I wish more romance stories did.
Now? On to Luke! 😉
A documentary about a sitting Pope? This must be the 21st Century! And the whole “day in the life” idea for this doc sounds interesting. Check out the trailer, then read on after the jump for all the info from the studio!
Story: Martin Comity, trumpet player, jazz musician. Booze hound. Addict. Martin looks for the next thing to keep his mind occupied. Drink, women, drugs…and then a drug called New Blue comes along. And let’s just say this drug ain’t like anything Martin has tried before. For one thing, it transports him to another realm of being. Literally. Or maybe it’s all just in his burned-out mind?
