Spiral of Need

FULL OF ACTION, HEAT & GRRREAT CHARACTERS

After Zeke finds his true mate his long-time lover Seer Ally happily moves aside but her life becomes a living Hell because of the petty jealousies, vicious set-ups and pack manipulation caused by his mate. Ally is a strong female and can handle herself and all the trouble and she walks away from conflict every time but she's reaching her limit of bullshit and she knows it's time to leave.... but where to? Ally's very good and powerful friend Cain secretly hears about the trouble even though he is in prison and calls in a favor from someone who owes him one.... the broody, unsociable and yet loyal Beta from the Mercury pack.

Darren hates Seers and so too does most of the pack (for differing reasons) but he'd given his word and he can't go back on it even though he's tempted but as soon as he sees Ally his wolf sits up and takes notice. Oh, they both fight their attraction but the animal instinct wins over. They both think they can keep their relationship at just sex because misunderstandings are there from the start so they never suspect they will eventually become fierce, loving and protective true mates. But this is what happens..... especially when Ally's abilities as Seer saves lives, when her kickass no nonsense attitude is respected and when the sex brings them closer together.

With lots of different pack action as Ally settles in, there's murder and kidnapping attempts, bloodshed as fur fangs and claws come out and lots of suspicion as to who and why the drama is focused on the members of the Mercury pack. Also Zeke's bitchy mate isn't anywhere near finished with her deadly plans. As with SW's other Shifter books the sex scenes are great and the Hero is a dirty mouthed Alpha type who knows what he wants and loves and fiercely protects it when he gets it.... because nothing stands in his way (and don't you just love em).

Worth a credit? Dual POV's, addictive sexy and action-packed storyline and a great narrator who brought all the scenes and all the many characters to life which made a good book into an awesome listen. It would've been worth a credit but no need to spend one as I just buy books that are under $10 and save the credit for a more expensive (but maybe not as enjoyable) listen.

Seriously over the top

Would you try another book from Suzanne Wright and/or Jill Redfield?

I don't think so. I've tried 3 times already.

What could Suzanne Wright have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

The last 3 books I've heard are starting to sound exactly the same...the dialogue, action, sex... The characters behave & communicate the same no matter who it is, so really they all could have just been one person. Also, the dialogue between characters is super weak and only focuses on raunchy sex-and not that I'm opposed to a well written, descriptive scene-but Suzanne's scenes are just...well trashy.

I don't know what she could have done beside scrap the book and start over.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

I don't really know if Jill did anything wrong as she just tried to work with what was given butt it did make me not want to hear her whining ever again.

Was Spiral of Need worth the listening time?

Absolutely not. Unfortunately, I was on a roadtrip and was stuck listening to this.

Any additional comments?

I don't recommend this book at all, unless you like a book with no point or substance.

Drama is Such a Turn off!

This books is filled with 'skanks', bi***es, jealous spiteful women--ALL quotes from the book. This is how the women talk about other women. I love Suzanne Wright. This was just not very sexy. The drama between the women was more important than almost getting murdered. On top of that alpha's talking to other alphas rudely, the inability of wolves to understand each other, or even intuit lies makes no sense.

Worst line, "I'm an Alpha and you're a Beta. That means I am more." How do packs let other people walk onto their land and challenge pack members.

The sex was great and energetic and hot, and the price was great! Just not enough to counteract the lack of a good quality story.

Awesome Shifter Story!

This was another great shifter story by Suzanne Wright. The Mercury pack is basically a spin off of the Phoenix Pack which was a really hot! I look forward to the next one in the series!

LOVE!!!

Simple as that. Suzanne does a great job, entertaining, funny, action packed, interesting and last but by no means least, unpredictable.

Narration is pretty good too!

Although a series book, it is a stand alone without the dreaded cliffhanger.

Bring on the next one...

Shifter story with a bit of mystery and suspense.

If you could sum up Spiral of Need in three words, what would they be?

Sexy, suspenseful and intriguing.

What other book might you compare Spiral of Need to and why?

The Pack Mates series by JD Tyler. The characters have some similarities and the writing for both series is fantastic.

Have you listened to any of Jill Redfield’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have not, so I can't say to comparison, but I quite liked this narration.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed out loud more than once.

Any additional comments?

I liked what I heard and can't wait to start the next book in this series.

Another great Series by Suzanne Wright

This book is very well written. Suzanne Wright does her usual excellent work at giving us a great story. Derren and Ally's story is not like any of the other stories of this kind. The narrator, Jill Redfield, does an excellent job with the characters Suzanne has created. It is difficult to not get engrossed in this series and the others Suzanne has given us. Wonderful read. Can't wait to get ALL the rest.

Amazing!

Suzanne & Jill are a great team and they didn't disappoint! Suzanne delivered the kickas* and Jill voiced the sass. You won't be disappointed in this one.

Narrator pulled off some cheesy lines!!

Although not my main genre of interest, I like a good romance book every now and then but this one didn't sit right with me. The story has a lot of good points but the empty sex scenes (and there are a lot of them) didn't say romance to me. It said would be rapist with willing victim, which didn't make sense considering the male lead's past. After the first few times, I got sick of listening to cringe-worthy lines and hit fast forward. "Oh, you know you like it."

And I wish the author would've used a better term of endearment other than 'baby'. Who knows, maybe I fast forwarded over the couple sharing real loving moments instead of ripped from a cheesy porn video dialogue. I've read a few books over the years that have made me blush or fan myself but the scenes here made me just want to zip my cardigan closed tight and hit fast forward.

Although generic in nature (every guy is hot, hot, hot), the scenes (when everyone has their clothes on) are the good kind of generic and made me smile, laugh, grow indignant and so forth so I felt for the characters, to a degree. If you either don't mind masochistic bed habits or don't mind skipping whole chapters, then you might enjoy this book...This is just not a series for me.
