A childhood illness
destroyed Cherise Michaels’ ability to shift. Their pack considers her an
abomination and to stay alive, she and mother have been running for years. When
they’re found in St. Louis , her mother is
murdered and a dream sends Cherise to a town she didn’t know existed—Salvation,
North Carolina
Cole Blanchard is
patrolling Salvation Pack land when he discovers wolves threatening a woman.
He’s furious—and certain the terrified young woman is his mate. When the
trespassing wolves won’t leave willingly, Cole’s is forced to kill them. Then
he must convince his newly found mate to trust him. Can she learn love, desire
and a sense of family? Can Cole convince Cherise she can find peace in his arms?
Wolf on the Run is the newest release in the series, Salvation Pack, by NJ Walters. With an ongoing plotline and
recurring characters, I recommend the books be read in order.
You don’t often come
across a story where a werewolf can’t shift, so this unusual trait is an
interesting one for Cherise to have. It certainly allows the author to turn the
normal solidarity of her birth pack on its ear when they decide she’s an
abomination. It’s also the one fact that controlled Cherise’s life, and is a
focus throughout Wolf on the Run.
Now to the rest. Over
all, the story is well written and plotted, and has good imagery. All the
previous characters are integrated nicely, as the pack members are close
friends. The personalities/histories of
Cole and Cherise are pretty well developed, but I had a better sense of
Cherise’s history, which is pretty depressing. Unfortunately her pained, glum
emotions throughout most of the book got a little old. It also caused the
middle of the book to slow. (Truthfully, I had trouble developing a connection
to her.) I was pleased when the pace picked up near the end, due to the action
filled scene of an expected confrontation between Cole and Cherise’s old pack. I
look forward to seeing what happens in the next release, as from the epilogue, it
looks like the old pack that Cole and friends grew up in and left are about to
case trouble again.
