Summaries

Kiss of Snow: Hawke is used to working alone, but Sienna fascinates him - she is a Psy Lauren, and has been living with the SnowDancers for sometime.  A deadly enemy is out to destroy the SnowDancer pack, and it is Sienna's darkest secret that may yet savage the pack that is her home... and the alph who is its heartbeat.......

Tangle of Need: Adria, wolf changeling has made a break with the past, now there is Riaz a SnowDancer lieutenant who is sworn to someone else. Soon fighting their wild compulsion towards one another is a losing battle.  And drawn into a cataclysmic Psy war that may alter the fate of the world itself, they must make a decision that might break them both.

My thoughts:
I am reading these books through at such a pace that as soon as I finish one I can't resist picking up the next.  Unfortunately I am not keeping up with reviews at the same pace!  So..... two mini reviews.  I loved Kiss of Snow, I had been waiting for this story of Hawke and Sienna, as their attraction for each other  and push and pull away, had been building in previous books.  It was every bit as good as I expected.  As well it had a very important birth in it which I had been waiting for. Sienna's powers were a central part of the book, her learning to master and control them so that they do not destroy her or her loved ones.  When a major battle takes place her abilities play an important part.  Did I say I loved this book!

Tangle of Need was another great read and the setting stayed in the SnowDancer area.  Adria is a senior soldier and has just returned to the main den.  She has been in a relationship where her dominance has not been respected by her partner.  So when Riaz is attracted to Adria he has some careful stepping to do and the challenge of respecting her, although he is a lieutenant and so more dominant.  He has recognised his mate - not Adria - but a woman who is happily married.  Can his wolf accept and be happy with Adria.   There is also a little more on the mysterious Alice who has been in a coma for many years and may hold the key for Sienna  for her abilities.  Still some mystery there.  Another facet is the continuing war with the Psy and the importance that the anchors hold for the Psy net.  Pure Psy are targeting them.  How much longer can the Psy net hold out?  I found this book a little slower going than the previous one, but still enjoyed it very much.
