Review of Lone Wolf Rising (Winters Saga Book 1) by Jami Brumfield

Lone Wolf Rising (Winters Saga Book 1) by Jami Brumfield

Book 1 in the Winters Saga Series begins with Lone Wolf Rising

Revenge has deadly consequences. Seventeen year old Rebecca Winters’ main goal for ten years has been to graduate high school and take down the people who killed her parents. When she stumbled upon a werewolf pack in the middle of Phoenix, she knew she’d found a way to make her dream come true. Instead of getting vengeance, an act of war has put her into a position of power and forces her to put her thirst for family justice on a temporary hold.
He is duty bound to protect her. Lucian (Lucky) Lamont is a member of the Protectors, an elite supernatural police force who works for the Authority. Their main goal is to keep humans in the dark about the creatures who live among them. Lucky is assigned to protect and manage Rebecca, despite her refusal of help. His cover is simple; he poses as the dutiful ‘pretend’ boyfriend in order to keep an eye on the new alpha wolf.
She is his mate.
Gabriel Black though taking his pack back from the witch who was chosen as the new alpha would be simple. He thought wrong. His entire world was turned upside down the moment he met Rebecca at the Authority Council meeting…and he was hooked the moment he kissed her to prove she wasn’t dating his best friend, Lucky.
It’s like being torn between two lovers.
Rebecca is pulled in hundreds of different directions while she attempts to find a way to survive the supernatural world, protect her family, and discover who massacred her entire pack days before her first transformation. She doesn’t have time for romance.
But the heart wants what the heart wants.
And the wolf gets what the wolf wants – or so her alpha believes. While Rebecca manages to keep her head above water as she unlocks political and family secrets which could destroy her, she loses sight of the most important people in her life and one of them pays the ultimate price.

Review by Gia:
I loved reading Lone Wolf Rising.  It's a short quick read.  Rebecca is a great strong character.    When we meet her she has just woken up from her first night of changing into a werewolf.  She quickly finds out that her whole pack has been killed and she becomes the new alpha.  She is still in high school and has a lot of stuff to deal with.    Her Grandmother has keep a major family secret from Rebecca and her siblings, Savannah and Hunter.

Lucky is  a member of the Protectors, an elite supernatural police force.   He helps to protect Rebecca and train her.   Gabriel is a wolf and he recognizes Rebecca as his mate.    Rebecca likes Lucky while her wolf wants Gabriel.    I felt that Lucky was a more likable character then Gabriel.    It took a little bit for me to warm up to Gabriel.  I loved that we could read the inner dialogue that Rebecca had with her wolf. 

The ending was crazy.  I never expected that to happen.  It definitely left me wanting to read the next one. 

Lone Wolf Rising is a really great paranormal story.  It has werewolves, vampires, witches, and other supernatural being all nicely put into one page turning story.
