I absolutely loved this first installment of the Aspen Pack. I was excited to see all the little secrets we get glimpses of in this story. Audrey and Gavin are perfect together. This story is action packed and full of emotion. This one will keep you on the edge of your seat from the first page. I can't wait for more of the Aspen's.

Great start to this new series. I used to love reading all the shifter books from Carrie Ann, I'm so glad she is bringing them back. This book has it all, cannot wait to get into each character.

This was my first book by this author and it was a great first in series. The only reason it is getting a 4 instead of a 5 out of 5 is because the beginning was a bit confusing at first until everything started to make sense and come together. This book was great and definitely keeps you enthralled. There was the right amount of angst, romance, action of course, and enough steam to create a sauna. It will absolutely leave you wanting the next book, especially with that ending.

The Aspen Pack is here! Audrey was a traitor to the old Pack, but she did what she had to so she could save her people. Now she is the Beta of the Pack and tries her best to help everyone together, though she feels broken inside. Gavin is the new Tracker for the Pack, coming from the UK with his Alpha. Even though he is a newcomer, he oddly feels at home, like he has been there before. There is an immediate attraction to between them, something Audrey thought was long dead, and it is throwing her for a loop. There are secrets in the Aspen Pack that would change the way the world sees shifters on top of the new unknown threat to all the packs, one that explains the undeniable chemistry they have. How long can they deny the attraction, how long can they hide it from the pack, how will they survive what is coming? No spoilers!!! You need to grab this now and dive into the world of the Aspen pack! I can't wait for the next book!!!

Audrey is the beta of the Aspen pack. She has been a part of the pack when it was under a bad alpha and still feels responsible. Gavin is a lone wolf looking to join the Aspen pack. He feels like this is home to him. Audrey is not sure what to think when she first meets him since he looks identical to her dead mate. As they start to work together and try to fight the vampires that are trying to invade their territory they realize there is more to Gavin then they know.

DNF @ 18%. I tried. I truly did, but this was way too word-y. Too much explaining. Too Basil-y. I apologize to all of the Basils in the world for that comment. His mother named him after her favorite herb. Her favorite herb!!! Jeez.

Once a betrayer to her pack, Audrey is now Beta for the Aspen pack, fighting many personal emotions from tied in with the packs violent history.
Gavin is the newly arrived Tracker but there is something about him that isn't quite right.

While Audrey battles with her own demons and tries to work out why she is receiving weird vibes from the newest pack member, they have to face a new demon. One that they believed was a myth.

While I have read most of Carrie Ann's work, I am able to predict where the storyline is heading. Well I thought I could...She is the master of word building to make you think that things are heading in one direction and then she throws a curve ball at you.

I can't wait for the rest of the series to see where this is heading.

Action packed from start to finish! Plenty of drama within the Pack plus outside forces trying to destroy Aspen and surrounding Packs.

This first-in-the-series story introduces us to many members of the Aspen Pack, provides a little background info on some of the members and finds them fighting a new enemy.

The main focus is on Audrey and Gavin. Without revealing their story, suffice it to say that theirs is an emotional journey…but with a new threat to their Pack, all of the Aspen members unite to fight. But will it be enough to defeat the enemy? Can a Pack so horribly damaged by their former Alpha heal together and defend themselves?

A great beginning to an action packed series!
