We are now at month 10 of the challenge with just three books left to go! This months book is Frostbitten and it takes place in Alaska.
Synopsis
Frostbitten
Elena Michaels, the Pack’s chief enforcer, knows all too well the havoc “mutts” can wreak.
When word comes of a series of humans apparently killed by wolves near Anchorage, Elena and Clay are sent to check things out. But they find more than they bargained for among the snow and trees of the savage Alaskan wilderness.
My Review
This is one of my favourites of the series and it is my favourite of the pack's books! Elena just grows so much in this book, she's already made leaps and bounds in the previous books but in this one she really has to overcome her past and fears left from her trauma's in foster care. She also finds out from the start of the book about Jeremy's plans for her and has to work through that news.
I love how Clay set her fears about becoming alpha to rest and how they worked through her worries. I also love the fact that we meet two potential new recruits for the pack, Reese and Morgan, both werewolves intrigued me for different reasons, Reese cause of the past he's hiding in this book and Morgan cause of the experiment he's conducting. We also meet a third potential new pack member though he's more assured to join then the others and he's the son/grandson of former pack members.
There is also a new race introduced though they are unlikely to join the supernatural community as they are very much isolated and would not be able to really live in the human world cause of their size and looks. They seem really interesting though and do trade with local communities when needed plus they revere werewolves, as Elena says they may even be a precursor race to werewolves!
A lot happens in the book in terms of possibly growing the pack, dealing with issues of the pack and reconnecting with ex-pack members, not to mention reaching out to a foreign pack (or rather responding to them reaching out!), matters of succession being settled and a major uprising by foreign mutts looking to move to the US to carry on their illeagal activities and eliminate the pack so they can take over with their own pack.
I love the scenes with the twins as well and when the whole pack are together, it was nice to see them getting some downtime after everything that happened, I definetly ended the book hoping that Reese and Morgan joined the pack same as Noah though I was heartbroken about the circumstances that led Noah to joining the pack. Loved every second of the book, even the difficult moments when Elena was reliving childhood fears cause it was so well done by Kelley.
