Fractured Silence

Changes are coming

A welcome return by this author to her Talon pack series featuring her fiercely loving Werewolves. This book sees so much changing and it's hard to review without giving away too much. Parker is in a unique position due to his somewhat complicated heritage and although he doesn't realise it his role is pivotal if his pack are to survive . The Humans now know about the Werewolves and yep you can imagine how divided and fearful many are. As this story starts Parker comes home but his heart, the very thing that hold him together is fading fast and Parker knows without finding his Mate that he is very likely to die.
Ok that sounds a wee bit melodramatic perhaps but the magic that surrounds the packs is failing and it's getting impossible for any Wolf to sense their Mate. Brandon as Omega is the one most aware of the depth of the changes happening around them. Seeing Parker return brings back feelings he neither wants nor thinks he needs but it really is time to confront their past and move forward and here is were Avery steps in. Avery knows her father is responsible for terrible things and truly wants to make amends in any way she can. Unfortunately she wasn't quite prepared enough and at this point in the book everything shifts as the author brings us a triad that's passionate and quite possibly doomed!
The bulk of this story is really about the trust and loyalties of the Packs as they are tested in the most painful ways. Old prophecies become an intrinsic part of this book as the pace gathers for a truly harrowing battle with tragic consequences . I've barely touched the romance and that is because I'm more than a little disappointed. Avery just wasn't a heroine that I liked. She's up for anything and never seemed that bothered by all the changes in her life. I think I would have preferred a M/M ( which isn't my preferred type of romance) story although freely admit the intimate scenes worked very well as all three explored just how their relationship could function happily.
This book in many ways ends a certain arc but the Packs still have enemies out there so I'm not expecting them to rest on their laurels too long. I'm curious about new characters we meet here and wonder how the next book will play out but for now there's hope amongst the ashes as the Talon Pack remember their dead and count their blessings .
This is a voluntary review of a copy generously provided for me and my thoughts on it are my own honest opinion
