Summary: (from the publisher)
Pheonix Force: Elite navy SEALS with paranormal abilities
Loyalties collide, passions ignite and a high-stakes adventure ensues in Bonnie Vanak’s sensual new military series…
When a mission gone wrong kills his best friend, navy SEAL Matthew Parker will stop at nothing to destroy the demons who threaten his team. To do so, Matt must locate a mysterious orb before the demons use it to destroy the world. But the only woman who can help him—Sienna McClare—has her own agenda…and every reason for hating his kind.
A half blood, Sienna hopes returning the orb to her people will gain her acceptance back into the only family she’s known. But working with a Draicon werewolf like Matt comes with a high price—one that could cost Sienna her dreams.
A natural-born leader, her werewolf lover must now teach Sienna to listen to her heart—and go where their allconsuming passion leads them…
My thoughts:
So you know I'm a sucker for good romance novels, and if they have some paranormal aspects, it's all the better! With The Covert Wolf we get paranormal romance with a possible world-ending mystery to solve. This just made me want to sqeal with joy. Throughout the book, you could see how the MC, Matthew Parker was still dealing with the loss of his best friend and the guilt he felt because he couldn't save him. Our heroine Sienna, on the other hand, had to deal with being rejected by her family for her entire life because she was different. These two characters both had their issues, which incidentally overlapped and made them opposing characters to a certain degree, but really, I do not want to spoiler you here! The book is well worth you time, so I recommend you pick it up if you can deal with the minor problems I had (see below).
The plot just keeps you going and makes you wonder where it will all end and how. Will there be a happy end? Will they be able to save the world? Who exactly is behind all the bad things happening? And will Sienna and Matthew be able to solve their issues? All this kept me going and made me hate having to take a break for my classes at university (I read this on a school day).
Now, my only two issues with the book: To me it seemed rather convenient to have Matthew reveal his telepathic abilities at the time he did. In the middle of all the trouble, he can help Sienna out with that on a rather big aspect? I would have prefered to hear about possible telepathy earlier on. And then, we know from the summary that Matthew is a werewolf, so here we go with the transforming: When he transforms there are sparks! And he's shimmering in crimson! Am I the only one who thinks of Twilight Edward when she reads shimmering and sparks? It just distracted me a little bit.
Nonetheless, these few issues did not really diminish the fun I had reading The Covert Wolf. As it is still available, I can only recommend you get your hands on a copy if you like werewolves, paranormal romance and the possible end of the world.
