Shifter's Wolf : “Masques” and “Wolfsbane”

 “Shifter's Wolf” by Patricia Briggs includes two books, previously published separately. I’d enjoyed the “Masques” and “Wolfsbane” so much that I kept rereading them. When the books came out in one volume, I was glad I’ve waited and hadn’t purchased each individual book. 
 
In “Masques”, we meet Aralorn and then Wolf and see how their friendship forms. The perils they go through and how they come to know each other, become comrades and finally lovers. Although this story is more about Wolf and his background. The next book is all about Aralorn.

Wolfsbane” by Patricia Briggs is the second book of Aralorn series. Aralorn receives the news of her father’s death and hurries home after ten years to say goodbye. Her companion and lover is coming with her in his “Wolf” persona. Once there they find out that Father is not dead but simply under a deathly spell, a trap. We get to meet Aralorn family including some of her shapeshifting relatives and learn why she left home all those years ago.

Dare I say…

I’m back?

I thought I’ve given up on this weblog. Not only I haven’t done any individual book review for a couple of years but also didn’t get to post new Book Waiting Lists or yearly Reading Lists in the last year and half either. All I can say in my defense is that I dedicated my writing energy to more academic projects. That doesn’t mean I wasn’t reading my favorite genres, only that I wasn’t in the mood to, too lazy to writing about them.
I’m sorry to say I wasn't feeling bad about the lack of posts for the last couple of years until…. A few days ago when I started to look for a book I liked and read last year and couldn’t remember neither the title nor the author. That felt pretty bad, let me confess! So yes, I am back to posting. I probably won’t be able to post reviews on all the books I’ve read these past couple of years, but I will post a few lists. Reviews will be on series I’m still following and if there is time I will review newly read books from now on.

Let’s hope for the best and happy reading!
