Wolf pact melissa de la cruz wiki

The ancient wolves were once proud guardians of time. Meanwhile, Bliss Llewellyn is adjusting to humanity after giving up her immortal vampire life. Posted on December 4th, Posted on November 13th, I get it because I'm an adult and as such I have an attention span that last longer than a few paragraphs. Remind me every other chapter what's up in case I stopped reading to do other things but not every few pages.

I wonder if teens have shorter attention spans and that's why YA is written like this? All in all: While I do like history lessons in books, I don't like being bored. I need action! And putting the action in the last few pages does not a redemption make. So, while I remember liking the first four Blue Bloods books I was rather dissapointed in this spin-off.

I don't know what I was expecting but, I dunno, this just didn't do it for me. It's a short read under pgs on Nook so if you want to give it a go, by all means, it'll only take a day or two, more if you get bored :. Great the POV is from one of the most bland characters in the book. Lindsay Heller. Author 1 book 11 followers. First off, let's just say I didn't applaud Hyperion's decision to only publish this as an ebook.

Yes, I read what de la Cruz wrote about the decision, and I understand it. However, I don't have an ereader, and, while I have people from whom I could borrow, the idea was less than appealing. I like books, I like holding things in my hand. I like being able to flip back and go over things I read before. I admit I have never used an ereader and would probably not find the experience completely disagreeable, but I don't care to find out quite yet.

So I wasn't actually going to read this, even though I'd been waiting for it for awhile. But then I discovered that it was published in paperback in England. After the events of 'The Van Alen Legacy' Bliss Llewellyn has been stripped of her vampiric powers and tasked by her mother to search out the Hounds of Hell to help fight the upcoming battle which will likely take place in the final Blue Bloods novel, 'The Gates of Paradise'.

Lawson and the rest of his wolf pack have been enslaved in Hell since Roman times, forced to be turned into a Hellhound at age eighteen. But when Lawson stages a break out and a group of wolves take refuge, now in human form, on Earth the Hounds are not far behind. Soon Bliss and Lawson's pack team up to retain timelines, find Lawson's lost love, and perhaps find a family along the way.

This wolf pact melissa de la cruz wiki took Melissa de la Cruz something like four years to write. I have no doubt that when she started she was brimming with fabulous ideas for this second after Witches of East End spin off from her popular Blue Bloods series I'm a fan, it's my guilty pleasure, hardcore. Unfortunately, while I did mostly enjoy this book, I could tell she had a hard time writing it.

When we first got a glimpse of this story it was in 's 'Keys to the Repository', a guide to her Blue Bloods series. That short story was exciting and interesting to see what she was going to do with the werewolf myth, after she'd turned the vampire myth on it's ear. But what we have here is vastly different from that original idea. That's fine, I guess, but it's a wonder.

It seemed, at points, that she wasn't sure where she was going and many parts read as if her publisher was breathing down her back telling her to hurry the hell up. Now, don't get me wrong, de la Cruz's books are worth waiting for. But, we do have to wait. She's relatively notorious for delaying publication dates and stopping what would be series because she's done with them.

It was clear she had something here and she wanted to continue Bliss's story, but I think, had she taken all the time she wanted and not publicized this book since it might have come out better. But that's enough with the negatives, because there was a lot to like here. The wolves were all rich characters that you cared about. Bliss, who I always liked but feared she couldn't carry a story on her own, was more developed.

But what impressed me the most was how well she incorporated a full new mythology into what was already laid out in Blue Bloods and Witches of East End characters from both are present and work well. Fans of both series or either, will enjoy this. They may not like it quite as much, and they shouldn't, but it's a perfectly complimentary piece.

So where do I start….? Ah I know. Cause I also love it too. Separate, from the blue bloods series. This book is supposed to Coincide with the Blue blood series but in some places it doesn't match. Also when she raced out the door to her car then crashed it. There were several wolves in human form including a GIRL with green hair. In the Wolf Pack there was no such girl, and no guy to fix her car.

This event on the butchers was pretty much word for word in the wolf pack book. About the death of Laurance Van Alan. Jodi May. Author 5 books 4 followers. Another stunning book from Melissa de la Cruz. By far my favourite author of all time. I'm pulled to her characters, her writing style and her style. Although her books are about vampires and werewolves, she puts a totally different spin on it.

I enjoy all the biblical history and the strong background to the story and all of the characters. They're not cardboard cut outs but people you can relate to. The Blue Bloods series was amazing and I pre-ordered this book and read it all in one day I was so captivated by the tails of Bliss and the Wolves. I wish she could keep the Blue Bloods stories running forever, because I for one, would always be a huge fan.

Morgan Walsh. I'm really exited for this book, but I have some concerns: one, the blue bloods series just isn't the same without Bliss, and two, Bliss is an alright character, but she isn't my favorite by a long shot, and I worry that a series about her will make me totally hate the blue bloods series. I mean, there's another spin off series about the Blue Bloods which will have 2 books and are about witches.

I think de la Cruz's idea for the blue bloods won't make sense if the all-powerful blue blood race doesn't even know witches exist, and barely know that the wolves exist. I like Bliss from the Blue Bloods books a lot and it was fun reading her little spinoff. The wolves and hellhounds are interesting and I enjoyed learning about their history and meeting some of them.

Now that Bliss isn't what she used to be, I wondered how that would work for her. I'm glad she's still a badass and fighting against Lucifer and his minions. The wolf pack were cute and I love how strong their bond is. Mac was my favorite, he's a little guy and adorable. Lawson is a strong leader and I think he'll bring the wolves to their salvation so they don't have to change and be slaves any more.

I hope we get more of Lawson and Bliss in the final book, they have definite chemistry and I want to see it play out. This was a good companion to the Blue Bloods series. I think this should definitely be read before Gates of Paradise otherwise you'll probably be confused when these characters show up there. There was a decent amount of action, but I think more could've be done with Bliss and her involvement with the wolves.

I think this book takes place before the final Blue Bloods book but I'm not sure. In any case, it's recommended you read that series before reading Wolf Pact. This book is the story of how Lawson and his pack escaped becoming hell hounds and what they did during their year of hiding. Bliss is searching for the pack. It's her mission to convince Lawson's pack to help take down the Silver Bloods but first she has to help Lawson take down Romulus.

It was an interesting story but very short for the price. Wolf Pact is a collection of short stories that chronicle what Bliss Llewellyn was doing after she wolfed pact melissa de la cruz wiki the main series after the events in The Van Alen Legacy and the wolves that she is supposed to bring into the war with the Silver Bloods and Lucifer.

I was pleasantly surprised by this collection of stories and the amount I came to care about the new characters that were introduced. Interestingly, de la Cruz keeps expanding the world in short stories and not the main novels. The fact that there are witches and warlocks is added when they are relevant to the plot, but the implication of supernatural creatures other than the vampires is never explored.
