Echoes of Fire

Mercury Pack, Book 4

By: Suzanne Wright

Narrated by: Jill Redfield

They may not be made for each other, but animal instincts are impossible to ignore.

Madisyn Drake is a rare breed of cat shifter…a loner, unpredictably wild, and emotionally distant. A recent betrayal has left her ready to sharpen her claws on the next man she sees…until a prowling wolf with steel-gray eyes and a brooding dark edge challenges her distrust. No matter how fully he satisfies her touch-hunger, Madisyn’s not ready to open up again, even if it is oh so gratifying.

Bracken Slater has earned his reputation as an indomitable predator. Once broken by grief and guilt, he is feeling alive again, thanks to the heady scent of this independent feline. Madisyn isn’t interested in joining an unfamiliar pack, so convincing her that they’re meant for each other is going to take more than branding her beautiful neck. But when threats from both their pasts take shape, their unexpected destiny may be the only thing that can save them.

Me-ow!

I loved everything about this book! As always, Suzanne kept me on my toes and feeling all the feels. The narrator was fantastic!

The love Madison and Bracken had was not fast and hard, but slow. it was the kind seeped into every part of them. And where there is a happy couple, there always seems to be a jealous b**ch in the wings waiting and plotting to tear them apart. In the end, everyone gets their just desserts.

amazing

I've been following these series . i love how all the characters from the old books are still in the new ones.

Bracken..

What a story.... I nearly cried the whole time I listened to this book..... the shooting is sad and I can’t imagine how Bracken must’ve been through..... I am glad he found peace again.....
Great read,..

Another good one!

Bracken Slater, wolf shifter and enforcer within the Mercury pack. Bracken hasn't been the same since the anti-shifter extremists gunned down his family at the drive-in. He has made a name for himself when he went after every extremist involved and took out his revenge.

Madisyn Drake, pallas cat shifter with no pack, works at the lone shifter shelter. Madisyn helps hide lone shifters into a new home when needed. When the alpha from a bear clan sent people to find out where she hid a bear shifter named Daisy that he meant to kidnap into his clan, Madisyn's life is threatened when she refuses to give up Daisy's location.

Bracken and Madisyn have known each other for a few years. While they are both attracted to each other, nothing has ever come of the attraction until Madisyn was threatened and Bracken's wolf urges him to protect.

I like how the author brought us a mate story where the couple didn't fight the pull and yet still gave us a slow burn love. Bracken knows he's still messed up over his family. Madisyn's shifter nature has a natural independence and struggles with trust. Due to this, Bracken knows he must move slowly but that doesn't stop him from staking his claim immediately.

This book provided a lot I love and enjoy in my books. The protective and possessive alpha, the independent and sassy heroine, and side characters that add to the overall storyline. I'm enjoying this series and look forward to the next couple.

Overall a solid continuation of the Mercury & Phoenix pack stories. The author continues to integrate the stories and characters well, so if you've listened to the previous installments, this is a seamless pick up. I had to look up the cat species (no spoiler!) so I could see a picture. The only thing really for me is that I don't think Bracken was portrayed so emotionally scarred by events that occurred with his family before this story, so I kept trying to recall some of that from prior stories. Regardless, I found it enjoyable.
